The truth is that Jesus preached the same message that the Prophets in the Old Testament preached. There is a passage in the Bible which really emphasizes his core message. A man came to Jesus and asked “Which is the first commandment of all?”Jesus answered, “The first of all the commandments is Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is one.’’[Mark 12:28-29].

Yes, you got that right! Here it is from a Bible that not substituted a title where God's name was in the original writings.

Jesus was quoting from the OT.
(Deuteronomy 6:4, 5) “Listen, O Israel: Jehovah our God is one Jehovah. You must love Jehovah your God with all your heart and all your soul and all your strength.
You say: It reminds us that since God created us, no one should be worshipped except God alone.

While this true, it is equally important to know which God Jesus was referring to.
(Deuteronomy 6:13) Jehovah your God you should fear, and him you should serve, and by his name you should swear.
