"It must needs be necessary that ye save all the money that ye can, and that ye obtain all that ye can in righteousness, that in time ye may be enabled to purchase land for an inheritance, even the city."
Doctrine and Covenants 48:4
It is interesting to me how important it is to the Lord that we follow the laws of the land. I guess probably because that is one of those lessons that we need to learn. If he wanted to, he could just give us a whole patch of land... but he wants us to work for it, to save for it, to learn to appreciate it. the same in our personal lives. God *could* just come down and give us big bucks, a two-car garage, and all we want to eat... but, you know... he wants us to learn something here, not just sit back and think that the world owes us a living. :) So... it is necessary that we do all we can to learn those things, and as we do, we will learn what is important and what isn't... which is much better than a two-car garage, any day. :)
