Everything that Christ spoke is
considered a commandment. He set the
perfect
example
for us to follow. Christ’s commandments are the principles
by
which we
should live our life. Keeping them not only allows us
to remain
in His love but it
shows our love for Him. It
demonstrates our faith through
action and we will find
salvation. We are to share our faith,
pray for one
another, and are to be loving,
forgiving, kind,
encouraging, supportive,
humble
and honest.

for a tooth.
But I say
to you do not resist one who is evil. But if anyone strikes you
on the
right cheek, turn
to him the other also; and if nay one would sue you and take
your coat, let him have
your cloak as well; and if any one forces you to go one
mile, go
with him two miles.

him who would
borrow from you.

what the right hand is doing. Give your gifts
in secret, and
your Father,
who knows all
secrets, will reward you.

not repay you.

forces are constantly
fighting each other,
and your choices are never free from this
conflict.
