Heavenly Father, through His beloved Son Jesus Christ, has given us the laws and commandments essential for gaining eternal life. If kept, these commandments will help us achieve happiness here and in the hereafter (see Mosiah 2:41). We are to “…live by every word that proceedeth forth from the mouth of God” (Doctrine and Covenants 84:44). The commandments have been established according to divine design, and when we fail to keep them, we break ourselves against them and suffer the consequences. When we truly love God, we will keep the commandments (see John 14:15; Moses 5:13). The test of mortality is about our willingness to keep the commandments (see Ecclesiastes 12:13; D&C 93:1; Abraham 3:25).
