One day Jesus taught His disciples the gospel on a mountainside by the Sea of Galilee. Matt. 5:1
![He taught them how to be happy](https://www.lds.org/bc/content/shared/content/images/gospel-library/magazine/liahonlp.nfo:o:f05.jpg)
He told them how to live so they could be happy and live with Heavenly Father again. The things He taught them will make us happy, too. Matt. 5–7
![We should follow the Lord](https://www.lds.org/bc/content/shared/content/images/gospel-library/magazine/liahonlp.nfo:o:f07.jpg)
We should be gentle, patient, and willing to follow the Lord. Matt. 5:5
![and be righteous](https://www.lds.org/bc/content/shared/content/images/gospel-library/magazine/liahonlp.nfo:o:f09.jpg)
We should try as hard as we can to be righteous. Matt. 5:6
![We should forgive others](https://www.lds.org/bc/content/shared/content/images/gospel-library/magazine/liahonlp.nfo:o:f0b.jpg)
We should forgive people who hurt us or make us feel bad. If we forgive them, Heavenly Father will forgive us. Matt. 5:7
![and love others](https://www.lds.org/bc/content/shared/content/images/gospel-library/magazine/liahonlp.nfo:o:f0d.jpg)
We should be peacemakers, love other people, and help them love each other. Matt. 5:9
![We should share the gospel](https://www.lds.org/bc/content/shared/content/images/gospel-library/magazine/liahonlp.nfo:o:f0f.jpg)
We should not be afraid to tell people about the gospel or to tell them that we love Heavenly Father. We should be righteous. When other people see us doing righteous things, they might believe in God, too. Matt. 5:14–16
![and keep our promises](https://www.lds.org/bc/content/shared/content/images/gospel-library/magazine/liahonlp.nfo:o:f11.jpg)
We should always keep our promises. Matt. 5:33–37

And just as we want others to be nice to us, we should be nice to them. Matt. 7:12
![If we do, we will be happy](https://www.lds.org/bc/content/shared/content/images/gospel-library/magazine/liahonlp.nfo:o:f15.jpg)
Jesus said if we do these things, we will be happy, God will bless us, and we will live with Heavenly Father again. Matt. 5:2–12
