We Obey out of Love


Of course, there are many good reasons, but this is one of them. God's commandments aren't just rules. They're instructions for how we can return to live in heaven with our Heavenly Father. If we love God, we'll naturally want to be with Him, and we can prove that by doing things that bring us closer to God and that ensure that we can live with Him forever after death. We keep the commandments not because we have to or because we're afraid we'll be punished if we don't, but because we know that, if we do, we can be with those we love, including our Heavenly Father, for all eternity.
