0051: Understanding God's Love and Law: Lessons from President Oaks


Listen Later

Today we're getting into the relationship between divine love and law, inspired by President Oaks' 2009 talk "Love and Law."

Sparked by Elder Rasband's message "Do Justly, Love Mercy, and Walk Humbly with God," I looked a little further into the "love mercy" part. That look lead me right to President Oaks' timeless address. This talk resonated deeply, especially as it shed light on some of my own experience.

Together, we'll explore:

  1. How rules in our homes mirror divine commandments.
  2. The balance of justice and mercy in God’s plan.
  3. The profound love that underpins the laws given to us by our Heavenly Father.
  4. I'll share key quotes from the talk and break down its core message: that divine laws and commandments are designed out of love, aiming for our eternal happiness and growth.
