Why do prophets and other good people stand for what is right and preach what is true when they know they will be teased, mocked, and perhaps persecuted for their beliefs?
Elder Robert D. Hales said:
“Prophets must often warn of the consequences of violating God’s laws. They do not preach that which is popular with the world. . . .
“Why do prophets proclaim unpopular commandments and call society to repentance for rejecting, modifying, and even ignoring the commandments? The reason is very simple. Upon receiving revelation, prophets have no choice but to proclaim and reaffirm that which God has given them to tell the world” ("'If Thou Wilt Enter into Life, Keep the Commandments'").
