"And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is
one Lord: And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy
mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment."
Mark 12:29-30
The Quran confirms that Jesus called for the worship of the Only True God:
“Truly, God is my Lord and your Lord, so worship Him (alone). This is the straight path.” (Quran 3:51)
“Then when Jesus felt their (persistence in) disbelief, he said, ‘Who will champion with me God’s (cause)?’ The disciples said, ‘We are the champions (of the cause) of God. We believe in God, and be a witness that we are Muslims (submitting to Him).[1] Our Lord, we have believed in what You have revealed, and we have followed the messenger, so write us down among the witnesses (to the truth).’ And they (who disbelieved) plotted, and God planned. And God is the best of the planners. When God said, ‘O Jesus, I will take you[2] and raise you up to Me and clear you of those who disbelieve, and I will make those who follow you superior to those who disbelieve till the Day of Resurrection. Then you will all return to Me, and I will judge between you in the matters you used to disagree in.’” (Quran 3:52-55)
“And for of their saying, ‘We have killed the Messiah, Jesus son of Mary, the messenger of God.’ But they did not kill him, nor did they crucify him, but it was made to look like him to them.[3] And those who disagree over him are in doubt (of killing) him, they have no knowledge of it except the following of guesswork, and they did not kill him for certain. But God raised him up to Himself.[4] And God is All-Powerful, All-Wise.” (Quran 4:157-158)

The greatest commandments in the Law according to Jesus were (a) love God with all your being (b) love your neighbour as you love yourself.
However He also told people to believe in Him - in John's gospel this is most clear - as then they have sins forgiven and come into the New Covenant. And that was something spoken of as essential for a person to get right with God.
John 8:23-24 "You are from beneath, I am from above. You are of this world, I am not of this world. Therefore I said to that you will die in your sins, for if you do not believe that I am He [the Messiah], you will die in your sins."
To disciples He commanded them to love each other, as He had loved them (ie with a very fine quality love).

Mark 12:28And one of the scribes came, and having heard them reasoning together, and perceiving that he had answered them well, asked him, Which is the first commandment of all?

It is the Golden Rule -- "Treat others as you would have them treat you."
Ironically -- it is not really his rule. In the West, Aristotle came up with the Golden Rule centuries earlier. In the East, Confucius came up with it even earlier.
