RS/EQ: Commit to Obedience

The final two sections in this chapter discuss the necessity of restitution and obedience to repentance. As I read, I was able to logically determine something that I had accepted before on faith, and figure out just why a commitment to live the commandments was so important when you are repenting.

The scene painted so obviously reveals the love and emotion the man felt towards … Continue reading →
