The Stripling Warriors The War Chapters Alma 43-63 Elder Russell M. Nelson: [You] will encounter people who pick which commandments they will keep and ignore others that they choose to break.

It takes faith to obey them, and keeping His commandments will strengthen that faith (Face the Future with Faith, Ensign or Liahona, May 2011, 34).
