Can you still think the commandments are not an important part of living happily? King Benjamin was worried about that and spent the rest of chapter two instructing the people to keep the commandments, and even went as far as to proclaim “that ye are eternally indebted to your heavenly Father, to render to him all that you have and are (Mosiah 2:34).”
God loves us and our debt has been paid by Jesus Christ, yet another gift we ought to rejoice over and thank him for.
Now it is our opportunity to follow his commandments, and the message for doing so is always the same but never said with such grandeur as King Benjamin’s thoughtful invitation:
And moreover, I would desire that ye should consider on the blessed and happy state of those that keep the commandments of God. For behold, they are blessed in all things, both temporal and spiritual; and if they hold out faithful to the end they are received into heaven, that thereby they may dwell with God in a state of never-ending happiness. O remember, remember that these things are true; for the Lord God hat spoken it.
Mosiah 2:41
Remember, remember, and may we be so very grateful.
