But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only; … (James 1:22) Trust in the Lord and do good; so shalt thou dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt be fed. (Ps 37:3) … I will go and do the things which the Lord hath commanded, for I know that the Lord giveth no commandments unto the children of men, save he shall prepare a way for them that they may accomplish the thing which he commandeth them. (1 Nep. 3:7) I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me. (Phil. 4:13) As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men, … (Gal. 6:10) But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God. (John 3:21) … whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God. (1 Cor. 10:31) And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, … (Col. 3:23) Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock: (Matt. 7:24) … Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.

(D&C 123:17) I, the Lord, am bound when ye do what I say; … (D&C 82:10)

Insights: To be a disciple of Christ, we can’t just hear and believe, we are required to act. Christ lived a life as an example to be followed and emulated. We can rest assured that we will not be asked to do anything that the Lord hasn’t already provided a way for us to do. And when we have done our all, we can be still and know that the Lord is pleased with us and will make up where we lack.
