What are commandments? We used to live in South Riding, Virginia near a street with tons of street signs, and I love the perspective in Doctrine and Covenants 82:8-9 about commandments from the Lord. It may seem like commandments are restrictive or controlling, but from the Lord, they are directions that turn us to salvation.
I give unto you a new commandment,
that you may understand my will concerning you;
Or, in other words, I give unto you directions
how you may act before me,
that it may turn to you for your salvation.
