Welcome, Friends!

Why does God give us commandments? Talk about it and see what answers you can come up with together. Check out pages 6, 20, and 24 for help.

One answer that the scriptures and prophets teach is that commandments are about love and God wanting to help us. When we don’t keep them perfectly (which none of us do!), we can turn to Jesus Christ to repent and feel His perfect love (see page 16).

Keep trying, learning, and growing! And remember that God loves you.

Love,

The Friend
