Russell M. Nelson said: “Transgression of moral law brings retribution; obedience to it brings blessings “immutable and unchangeable” * Blessings are always predicated upon obedience to law. So the Church teaches us to embrace the right and renounce the wrong—that we might have joy.
The Savior and His servants do not speak words of complacency but teach what people need to know. Through the ages, history attests that contemporary critics have pressed church leaders to modify a decree of the Lord. But such is eternal law and it cannot be altered. Not even for His Beloved Son could God change the law that required the Atonement. Divine doctrines cannot be squeezed into compact molds to make them fit fashionable patterns of the day. Nor can they be fully expressed on a bumper-sticker. (“Constancy amid Change,” Ensign, November 1993)
