"The commandments, ordinances, and covenants of the gospel are not a list of deposits required to be made in some heavenly account. The gospel of Jesus Christ is a plan that shows us how to become what your Heavenly Father desires us to become." (Dallin H Oaks.)
Are your outward actions leading you to inner conversion?
"To testify is to know and to declare. The gospel challenges us to be 'converted', which requires us to do and to become." (Dallin H Oaks)
"Our needed conversions are often achieved more readily by suffering and adversity than by comfort and tranquility."
tribulation => patience => experience => love
Abraham believed God and His power even after his wife passed child bearing years. He could have cursed God but instead, he had faith and believed in God's promises.
"Belief is confirmed by what we think about and proved by what we do."
You can read the scriptures all day long, but if you don't "do" it doesn't amount for anything.
