I'm a pagan Taoist.
Taoism recommends living with wisdom and compassion and harmony.
Paganism also recommends living in harmony with life and the world and nature.
Easier said than done which is why I'm a student of these teachings, far far from mastery!

I don't know that there is one teaching that is most important. But If I had to pick I would have to say the atonement of Jesus Christ. That is the most important event in Human History. Without it, nobody would attain salvation. Also the life of Christ reminds us how we should behave towards each other.
Another really important teaching of my faith, is the importance of the family, and the eternal nature of the family. The emphasis on strengthening of our families, is very important. I love the knowledge that my family can be together forever, even after death.
I am LDS.

No "religion". I believe in the bible. It's about me or whoever else says they believe, fixing my own flaws, following his commandments, leading others to know him (which doesn't mean forcing on anyone). The only way I know to show my love to him is to listen to him and do the things I already mentioned. What I think is most important is being accurate. Not misleading yourself or others. Otherwise, it's worst than if you didn't practice at all.

Similar to the Hippocratic Oath which states, "First do no harm," the general run of thumb for those who are Wiccan is, "Harm none." It's a derivation of the Wiccan Rede and is generally adhered to by most Wiccans and Pagans.

Yes - I would say to love God over all things.. U asked how to show that? It is by loving his creatures, starting with my fellow humans and not leaving out nature itself!

By loving your neighbors as you do yourself. Be kind to one another and support each other, this is the general idea of showing God you love Him.

The most important teaching in being a Christian is that Jesus will forgive us for any disgusting thing we do as long as we follow him.

"Love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, mind and strength". You do this by recognizing that as a Christian, your life belongs to Christ and that love comes with a relationship and isn't really instantaneous. it takes a while (usually) to commit yourself to Him fully, even being willing to give up everything if He calls you too. He asks you to give up sinful lifestyles, of that we know. as for your possessions, rarely, as long as they're not idols to you (compete with God).
"Love your neighbour as yourself". showing agape love to everyone. agape love seeks the highest good for someone, both acts of kindness and leading someone to Christ, despite preferences, biases, dislikes, dicomfots or any hinderances. also, loving yourself isn't all that hard (for me atleast) once you know that you made the decision to become God's child, He personalized your soul, and that H ehas a plan for you.

The greatest command is to love the Lord with all your heart.
Jesus said, to love me is to obey me.

That we should get rid of our sofference by ourselves.
This makes me feel very free and independent, do not depend on others except, at the beginning, from the master.
