Rules of life are important for you to live your life safely, meaningfully, and success fully. Wise parents would teach rules of life to their children so that they will not at least make fatal mistakes to become unhappy. Clever young men should ask their parents, reliable teachers, excellent seniors for advise concerning rules of life.So, it is understandable that a young man asked Christ Jesus a question about the most important commandment in the law 2,000 years ago:
36 Master, which is the great commandment in the law?
37 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.
38 This is the first and great commandment.
39 And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
40 On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets. (Matthew 22)
37 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.
38 This is the first and great commandment.
39 And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
40 On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets. (Matthew 22)
But, today most parents, teachers, etc. would answer that the most important things in life is to consider yourself first and make money as much as possible. Even Satan would give advise that love money and respect richer men while neglecting the poor. Indeed, Satan's intent is to make people respect and revere it. Truly, Satan is above the richest men in this world where most people are occupied by appetite for wealth and money. Virtually, money has become a global religion where Satan is respected and revered as a god, since money is another form of Satan
From this point of view, the above words of Christ Jesus to a young man should be regarded as aimed at Satan around him.
In other word, it is common that people love money (Satan) with all of their hearts, all of their souls, and all of their minds, and neglect poor neighbors while trying to be richer than rich neighbors.
However, based on other words of Christ Jesus, it is apparent that poor and faithful men will enter into Heaven after death in this world to enjoy eternal and happy life.

Anyway, you must not love Satan (also known as money) with all of your hearts, all of your souls, and all of your minds.

Mark 12, King James Version
13 And they send unto him certain of the Pharisees and of the Herodians, to catch him in his words.
14 And when they were come, they say unto him, Master, we know that thou art true, and carest for no man: for thou regardest not the person of men, but teachest the way of God in truth: Is it lawful to give tribute to Caesar, or not?
15 Shall we give, or shall we not give? But he, knowing their hypocrisy, said unto them, Why tempt ye me? bring me a penny, that I may see it.
16 And they brought it. And he saith unto them, Whose is this image and superscription? And they said unto him, Caesar's.
17 And Jesus answering said unto them, Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's. And they marvelled at him.
