Alma 9

While reading verse 23, I thought of the phrase "for of him unto whom much is given much is required" (Doctrine and Covenants 82:3).

Sheri L. Dew said, "The Lord’s standard of behavior will always be more demanding than the world’s, but then the Lord’s rewards are infinitely more glorious—including true joy, peace, and salvation” ("We Are Women of God").

Sometimes it can be hard to do all that we are expected to do. All that we know we should be doing. But it's worth it. The Lord's rewards are always better than that of the world's. Why wouldn't we want to live up to the demands to receive them?
