LDS Quotes About Obedience
"There are rules and laws to help ensure our physical safety.
Likewise, the Lord has provided guidelines and commandments to help ensure our
spiritual safety so that we might successfully navigate this often-treacherous
mortal existence and return eventually to our Heavenly Father."
President Thomas S. Monson, Obedience Brings Blessings, April 2013 General Conference
"Obedience is a hallmark of prophets; it has provided strength and knowledge to them throughout the ages. It is essential for us to realize that we, as well, are entitled to this source of strength and knowledge. It is readily available to each of us today as we obey God’s commandments."

"The knowledge which we seek, the answers for which we yearn,
and the strength which we desire today to meet the challenges of a complex and
changing world can be ours when we willingly obey the Lord’s commandments."
President Thomas S. Monson, Obedience Brings Blessings, April 2013 General Conference
"As we walk in obedience to the principles and commandments
of the gospel of Jesus Christ, we enjoy a continual flow of blessings promised
by God in His covenant with us. Those blessings provide the resources we need
to act rather than simply be acted upon as we go through life."
Elder D. Todd Christofferson, The Power of Covenants, April 2009 General Conference
"Obedience gives us greater control over our lives, greater
capacity to come and go, to work and create. Of course, age, accident, and
illnesses inevitably take their toll, but even so, our obedience to this gospel
law enhances our capacity to deal with these challenges."
Elder D. Todd Christofferson, The Power of Covenants, April 2009 General Conference
"Divine covenants make strong Christians. I urge each one to
qualify for and receive all the priesthood ordinances you can and then
faithfully keep the promises you have made by covenant. In times of distress,
let your covenants be paramount and let your obedience be exact. Then you can
ask in faith, nothing wavering, according to your need, and God will answer. He
will sustain you as you work and watch. In His own time and way He will stretch
forth his hand to you, saying, 'Here am I.'"
Elder D. Todd Christofferson, The Power of Covenants, April 2009 General Conference
"The happiness of the Latter-day Saints, the peace of the
Latter-day Saints, the progress of the Latter-day Saints, the prosperity of the
Latter-day Saints, and the eternal salvation and exaltation of this people lie
in walking in obedience to the counsels of the priesthood of God."
President Gordon B. Hinckley, If Ye Be Willing and Obedient, October 1971 General Conference
"God reveals to His prophets that there are moral absolutes.
Sin will always be sin. Disobedience to the Lord’s commandments will always
deprive us of His blessings."
Elder L. Tom Perry, Obedience to Law is Liberty, April 2013 General Conference
"In a world where the moral compass of society is faltering,
the restored gospel of Jesus Christ never wavers, nor should its stakes and
wards, its families, or its individual members. We must not pick and choose
which commandments we think are important to keep but acknowledge all of God’s
commandments. We must stand firm and steadfast, having perfect confidence in
the Lord’s consistency and perfect trust in His promises."
Elder L. Tom Perry, Obedience to Law is Liberty, April 2013 General Conference
"A useful way to think about the commandments is they are
loving counsel from a wise, all-knowing Heavenly Father. His goal is our
eternal happiness, and His commandments are the road map He has given us to
return to Him, which is the only way we will be eternally happy."
Elder L. Tom Perry, Obedience to Law is Liberty, April 2013 General Conference
"Willing obedience provides lasting protection against
Satan’s alluring and tantalizing temptations. Jesus is our perfect example of
obedience. Learn to do as He did when Satan tempted Him in the wilderness. Even
though He was weakened by fasting, His answer was quick and firm: 'Get thee
behind me, Satan.'"
Elder Joseph B. Wirthlin, Live in Obedience, April 1994 General Conference
