"I, the Lord, am bound when ye do what I say; but when ye do not what I say, ye have no promise." (D&C 82:10.)
Elder James E. Talmage of the Council of the Twelve said in the April 1930 general conference:" Mormonism' has taught me that God holds Himself accountable to law even as He expects us to do. He has set us the example in obedience to law. I know that to say this would have been heresy a few decades ago. But we have the divine word for it:I, the Lord, am bound when ye do what I say; but when ye do not what I say, ye have no promise.' He operates by law and not by arbitrariness or caprice."
