How significant is our relationship with God?

How significant is our relationship with God?  What did Jesus say in Matt 22:37-38?  Loving God was the first, the greatest, the most important relationship we could ever have!  Loving God captures the essence behind the first 4 commandments!  

In fact, if we truly love God, we would fulfil the first 2 commandments automatically! 

Exodus 20:2-7 (NIV) 2  "I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of Egypt, out of the land of slavery. 3  "You shall have no other gods before me. 4  "You shall not make for yourself an idol in the form of anything in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the waters below…  7  "You shall not misuse the name of the LORD your God, for the LORD will not hold anyone guiltless who misuses his name.
