The scriptures teach us that our heavenly Father is powerful and mighty. He goes before us. He is our shield and our ever present help in time of need. He is given us His word. He is given us His commandments. And while keeping them does not save us, they are still good for us. When we abide by the word of God and when we walk with His commandments, we are protected. We receive blessings. So, why wouldn’t you want to do what He says? Why wouldn’t you want to follow the God you claimed to believe in?
