Question: Do I really love Christ?
Read: John 13:34-35, John 14:15, 3 Nephi 13:20-21, 24, 33.
Ponder: Do I keep all the commandments or
am I guilty of "selective" obedience?
Have I put another God before Christ?
"Latter-day Saints are not obedient because they are compelled to be obedient. They are obedient because they know certain spiritual truths and have decided, as an expression of their own individual agency, to obey the commandments of God."
~ Elder Boyd K. Packer

"The submission of one's will is really the only uniquely personal thing we have placed on God's altar. The many other things we 'give', brothers and sisters, are actually the things he has already given or loaned to us. However, when you and I finally submit ourselves, by letting our individual wills be swallowed up in God's will, then we are really giving something up to Him. It is the only possession which is truly ours to give. Consecration thus constitutes the only unconditional surrender which is also a total victory."
~ Elder Neal A. Maxwell
