Sacrament Service
First Speaker
John 14:15
15 ¶ If ye love me, keep my commandments.
The Lord does not give us commandments to make life harder.
Next Speaker
Our struggles allow us to see the hand of God.
“God’s commandments are not given to frustrate us or to become obstacles to our happiness. Just the opposite is true. He who created us and who loves us perfectly knows just how we need to live our lives in order to obtain the greatest happiness possible. He has provided us with guidelines which, if we follow them, will see us safely through this often treacherous mortal journey.” (President Thomas S. Monson, “Keep the Commandments”, October 2015 General Conference)
“Indeed, His commandments are not grievous—just the opposite. They mark the path of healing, happiness, peace, and joy. Our Father and our Redeemer have blessed us with commandments, and in obeying Their commandments, we feel Their perfect love more fully and more profoundly.” (Elder D. Todd Christofferson, “The Love of God”, October 2021 General Conference)
Next Speaker
The Lord’s commandments attempt to keep us out of shark infested waters.
Next Speaker
God’s commandments are love.
