![“How shall we know that we obey [God]? There is but one method by which we can know it, and that is by the inspiration of the Spirit of the Lord witnessing unto our spirit that we are His, that we love Him, and that He loves us. It is by the spirit of revelation we know this.” quote by Brigham Young](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/fa8/brigham-young-1075_inspiration_how-shall-we-know-that-we-obey-god-there_148998.jpg)
