2 Nephi 31 Christ is our perfect example not only by words but by His actions. He lived a perfect life then He got baptized to set an example to us so that He could "fulfill all righteousness" (vs 6). Then He invited each of us to follow Him by saying, "Follow thou me."
Chapter 31:10 it is asked, can we follow Jesus save we shall be willing to keep the commandments of the Father? What Commandment do I have a hard time following?
We have been given commandments today from our leaders that we need to follow as well. New revelation given to us by our modern day Prophet is more applicable to our lives but we still need to follow the council and guidance given to us by ancient prophets. 
After having a witness of the truthfulness of the Gospel, we must stay true to our testimonies and continue to strengthen them through gospel, and the spirit.
"We must press forward feasting upon the words of Christ." 2 Nephi 31:20

Blessing: to have the gospel on earth and that I was born in the church and know the importance and have a desire to learn and understand it.

Heber J. Grant said "I have heard men and women say that they were going to let their sons and daughters grow to maturity before they sought to teach them the principles of the gospel, that they were not going to cram the gospel down them in their childhood, before they were able to comprehend it. When I hear men and women say this, I think they are lacking faith in the principles of the gospel and do not comprehend it as they should. The Lord has said it is our duty to teach our children in their youth, and I prefer to take His word for it rather than the words of those who are not obeying His commandments.. I may know that the gospel is true, and so may my wife; but I want to tell you that your children will not know that the gospel is true, unless they study it and gain a testimony for themselves. Parents are deceiving themselves in imagining that their children will be born with a knowledge of the gospel." (Richard O. Cowan, The Church in the Twentieth Century, p. 319)*...

Gordon B. Hinckley said, "We all do a lot of studying, but most of us don't do much meditation. We don't take time to think. I'd like to suggest that next fast day . . . everybody in this hall set aside an hour or two. Sit by yourself. Go in the bedroom and lock the door. Go out in the yard under a tree. Go in your study if you have one and shut the door, and think about yourself and your worthiness. Read from this great book [Book of Mormon]...There's a great word that's used, 'ponder.' "'Ponder.' What do we mean by 'ponder'? Well, I think it simply means kind of quietly thinking things through. Ponder what you have read. Ponder your life. Are you worthy, are you living the commandments...?" (Church News, 01/06/96) -Christ commanded them to; 1. " ponder upon the things which I have said, 2. ask the Father, in my name, that ye many understand, 3. prepare your minds for the morrow ," (3 Nephi 17:3) -The thing...
