Isaiah 48:17
17 Thus saith the Lord, thy Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel; I am the Lord thy God which teacheth thee to profit, which leadeth thee by the way that thou shouldest go.
18 O that thou hadst hearkened to my commandments! then had thy peace been as a river, and thy righteousness as the waves of the sea:
JESUS is our Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel. He is our Teacher and Leader. He will teach us the paths of life we should trod, but it is up to us to choose the paths of life we tred. God desires us to walk the righteous and obedient paths, but satan impulses us to go down forbidden paths, those roads that lead to misery and sorrow, sadness and unhappiness. If we hearken to the Lord’s commandments, then we experience “peace as a river.” If we choose the righteous paths, our lives will be strong and powerful like the “waves of the sea.”
Jesus Christ is the only sure foundation that we can totally rely upon for safety, security, and everlasting duration. His name is the only name upon which salvation can be obtained and eternal life attained.
“And, if you keep my commandments and endure to the end you shall have eternal life, which gift is the greatest of all the gifts of God” (Doctrine and Covenants 14:7)
Eternal life is our ultimate goal. Obeying all the commandments of God qualifies us for this desired end.
