Section 19

I feel enlightened by this section because of the many commands that are given that are our responsibility as members of His church. First, is it made very clear why we need to follow the commandments given to us by Christ. We want to avoid eternal punishment, suffering all things of the flesh, and misery (v10-12,16,33). The main commandments we are given are to repent, preach, not covet, and pray (v13,15,20-21,25-28). 
First repentance, an essential key to returning to heaven with Christ and the Father. Second, preach repentance so other may do the same, but at the same time we can grow closer to Christ by becoming like Him (v23). Third was coveting, and it seems specific to who is being addressed but still true, and lastly is to pray vocally and in our hearts to keep The Lord with us (v28). If we do not do as we are counseled we will no doubt be miserable.
