The Great Commandment—Love the Lord Ezra Taft Benson

The great test of life is obedience to God

The great task of life is to learn the will of the Lord and then DO

IT

No Pure love of Christ; No Kingdom of the Lord for you

Love the Lord with Strength

Total commitment of our very being: physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually

We need to put God ahead of everyone else in

our lives

God first: all other things fall in to place or out of our lives

Put the Lord first.

Nephi did when his father murmured

Joseph did when tempted by Potiphar’s wife

New members do when their family’s object

ASK YOURSELF

Daily Prayer and Scripture Study?Family Councils and Family Home Evening?Live an exemplary life despite your circumstances?Fast and pray for children?Raising your children to be disciples?Worthy to go to the temple?Where are your desires?

Society is blessed by putting God first

Nephi got the plates from LabanAbraham with Isaac

Put God First

Peace in this life and fullness of joy in the eternities
