Closest related principles - Core Interrelations taken from interrelations below.
Love your neighbor,
being careful not to offend him. Show the childlike humility that leads one into true
believing and greatness. Unbelievers tend to cause believers
to sin (do harmful things); they better take as strong a
measure as possible to stop or they will be sorry. Perhaps one of the best ways to
overcome our harmful desires is through serving others. Jesus served us by coming to find us and save us when we had gone astray. When you start serving others and have your relationships with others
inline with the principles in spite of all the problems that come up, and this involves A
LOT of forgiving and mercy (these are the fruits of true believing), then you can ask
what you wish from the Father, and it is
yours. (principles from MT17:24-18:35)
To begin with, repent, repent, repent of things like your preoccupation with money and worldly things. Turn, and forcefully do things in the other direction, toward the Lord. Recognize the harmful desires in your heart and value overcoming them (even though people may approve of them), showing the Lord you care about Him and His way of life, his everlasting principles. Divorcing your spouse and then marrying someone else is adultery (unless the one you divorced was maritally unfaithful, see MT 19:9); don't be insensitive to what Jesus says. Don't cause others to sin; there is a heavy price to pay. Forgive your brother when he repents. Humble serving is our duty. (principles from LK15:1-17:10)
