Commandments

Focus on Joy by Michael Malm

A question from the Doctrine and Covenants Come Follow Me curriculum:

To what can I compare commandments?

  • A recipe for a happy life
  • Instructions
  • Prerequisites for a course to know God
  • A map
  • A ruler, or standard of measurement
  • A compass
  • A lantern
  • A pathway
  • A road sign
  • A life vest
  • A reminder of home
  • The laws governing motion towards God.
  • A guardrail on a treacherous path
  • A lighthouse in a storm
  • A bridge to something otherwise inaccessible
  • Steps on a ladder
  • Lines on the road, keeping me safe in darkness.
  • Lines on writing paper, guiding my words.
  • The familiar stretch of road leading to our home.
  • The character traits of God
  • God’s love language

If ye love me, keep my commandments.

John 14:15
