Acts 26:19. “Not Disobedient unto the Heavenly Vision”

Paul declared to Agrippa that he had been true to the heavenly vision he received. Like Paul, we should obey the directions we receive from the Lord, whether they come in the form of promptings from the Holy Ghost, the words of scriptures, or the voice of living prophets.

President Ezra Taft Benson taught:

“The great test of life is obedience to God. ‘We will prove them herewith,’ said the Lord, ‘to see if they will do all things whatsoever the Lord their God shall command them’ (Abraham 3:25).

“The great task of life is to learn the will of the Lord and then do it.

“The great commandment of life is to love the Lord”  (“The Great Commandment--Love the Lord,” Ensign, May 1988, 4).
