Acting on the Lord’s Will
God is omniscient; He knows if we will or won’t do as He asks, but we learn more from actually doing what is asked of us than from His knowing whether or not we would. For us, the bigger benefit is in passing through the trial.
Knowledge Isn’t Enough
Walking Jesus’s path doesn’t require us to merely accumulate knowledge. The difference is made when we use that knowledge to change our daily walk.
According to Our Heart’s Desires
One of Jesus’s many roles in the plan of salvation is Judge. The scriptures teach that He will judge us according to works—a perhaps scary prospect for imperfect mortals. But He has included an important qualifier.

The phrase “Do what feels good” has been used to promote a pleasure-seeking lifestyle. But maybe it’s just a counterfeit version of gospel truth.
Haste to Repent
We all commit sin, and sin is like a terminal illness. The good news of the gospel is that it has a known cure.
