I like these words from King Benjamin’s speech:
9 Believe
in God; believe that he is, and that he created all things, both in heaven and
in earth; believe that he has all wisdom, and all power, both in heaven and in
earth; believe that man doth not comprehend all the things which the Lord can
comprehend.
10 And
again, believe that ye must repent of your sins and forsake them, and humble
yourselves before God; and ask in sincerity of heart that he would forgive you;
and now, if you believe all these things see that ye do them. (Mosiah 4:9-10)
I love that last part—“if you believe all these things see
that ye do them.”
We may have the tendency to mentally assent to the teachings
and principles of the gospel without actually applying them as often as we
should, and I think King Benjamin was aware of that tendency.
So, if we believe we can repent, see that we do it. If we
believe in keeping the Sabbath, see that we do it. If prayer is efficacious, do
it. If temple worship and family history does serve the dead and protect us, do
it.

I have that verse and specific line marked in my scriptures and cross-referenced to James 1:22 But be ye doers of the word and not hearers only. I need that reminder regularly!
