“Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.” (Matt. 4:10.)
Joseph Fielding Smith, I Know That My Redeemer Liveth, Ensign December 1971
We believe that worship is far more than prayer and preaching and gospel performance. The supreme act of worship is to keep the commandments, to follow in the footsteps of the Son of God, to do ever those things that please him. It is one thing to give lip service to the Lord; it is quite another to respect and honor his will by following the example he has set for us. … I rejoice in the privilege of following in his footsteps. I am grateful for the words of eternal life which I have received, I am very glad to say, in this world, and for the hope of eternal life which is mine in the world to come if I will remain faithful and true to the end.
“If ye love me, keep my commandments” (John 14:15).
