Understanding Conscience and Commandments

The speech emphasizes the importance of having an educated conscience, which is shaped by adherence to God's commandments. For individuals outside of the Church, following the moral principles represented by the Ten Commandments can guide them toward a deeper understanding of spiritual truths. Members of the Church, on the other hand, are urged to keep not only these fundamental commandments but also the covenants they have made through gospel ordinances. This more educated conscience allows members to recognize their identity, responsibilities, and the need for personal commandments as they strive to live in accordance with divine guidance.
