Answer:

Commandments give you a moral ground of what is right and wrong. The Beatitudes encourage you to be humble and kind.

Step-by-step explanation:

Commandments

God gave the Ten Commandments to his people as a clear code of conduct, which would bring prosperity if obeyed and suffering if disobeyed.

Christians also obey the Ten Commandments as amplified and perfected by Christ, who came not to abolish the Law but to perfect it.

The Ten Commandments prohibits actions and behavior which is seen as wrong or immoral.

Beatitudes

The phrase "blessed are" in each beatitude implies a current state of happiness or well-being. This expression held a powerful meaning of "divine joy and perfect happiness" to the people of Christ's day. In other words, Jesus was saying "divinely happy and fortunate are those who possess these inward qualities." While speaking of a current "blessedness," each pronouncement also promised a future reward.
