Bishwa Nath Singh :
When Jesus Christ was asked before He was crucified by His ardent followers as what to be done to inherit eternal life? "His reply was to follow ten Commandments that He had given as sermon on the mount and that will keep one in His remembrances all the times. The Christians have great faith & believe in those Ten Comm...andments. What are they? Let us have a glimpse on those Ten Commandments and follow them in our life very truthfully to make our life blissful.

The Ten Commandments that were given as Sermon on the Mount by Jesus Christ are as follows:

your God,

gods before me. -Faith (Trust in God) - All faith in God, freedom from
lesser gods:
wealth, sex, power, popularity.
2- You shall not take
the Name of the
LORD
your God in vain. -Respect
Holiness - Respect for God

and your mother. -Family - Loving care and respect for all
family members,

When Jesus Christ was asked by His followers as what is the greatest commandment? His reply was very spontaneous with two: those is love God and love your neighbor. One can safely vouch that he/she notices the first three commandments as directed toward the first of these to love of God and the last seven as relating to the second: love of neighbor. One must bear in mind that the Christian is one who follows Christ and one can not follow the Christ unless he/she adopts and practices those ten commandments in his/her life. Let us bow our head and pay our respectful obeisance to the lotus feet of Jesus Christ who live & died for welfare of all human –beings of the universe that is why He is adored widely by over billions of His followers!
