[lilered]

We have been told in the scriptures:
“Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. “This is the first and great commandment. “And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. “On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.

Thus

if we show our love by obediance to Gods commandments then it follows we must love and obey his diciples (leaders of the church) when they testify of God. his word, and give us direction. They speak for God, thus if we are to gain the highest degrees of glory, we must be obediant to God and his diciples.
