It consists in compliance with divine saw, in conformity to the mind and will of Deity, in complete subjection to God and his commandments. To obey gospel law is to yield obedience to the Lord, to execute the commands of and be ruled by him whose we are. Rules are designed to bring missionaries more of the success and blessings that our Father in Heaven desires us to obtain. We in the mission field have an extra set of rules to live by, and our success is dependent upon how we live them. These rules are not meant to take away our free agency, but to bring us closer to the Lord and his guiding influence.
All blessings flow from obedience.
Man's love of God is measured in terms of obedience and service. We, as missionaries doing the Lord's work, are expected by the Lord to live his rules and he will truly bless our efforts. Our success in baptizing and personal growth is a direct reflection of the degree we keep the mission rules. Remember, the Lord knows all of your thoughts and actions. Your mission is between you and the Lord.
