Jesus stated that the requirements of the First Great Commandment (not the first Commandment in the Decalogue) was to be fulfilled if we are to 'love the Lord our God with all our heart, all our soul, all our mind, and all our strength.Why does Jesus use the term 'all' separately in connection to each of these (heart, soul, mind, strength)?

Are these 4 (heart, soul, mind, strength) an absolute list or not? If not, why not?
