To rest satisfied with existing evils, as if we could do nothing, is not obedience; but neither is it obedience to imitate the actions of the apostles.

Obedience is the fruit of faith.
Obedience brings peace in decision making. If we have firmly made up our minds to follow the commandments, we will not have to redecide which path to take when temptation comes our way.
When obedience ceases to be an irritant and becomes our quest, in that moment God will endow us with power.
For evil to flourish, it only requires good men to do nothing.
Common tyrants, and public oppressors, are not intitled to obedience from their subjects, by virtue of any thing here laid down by the inspired apostle.
I think we've overstated that God is the God who wants us to obey. Obedience is not the end game. Obedience is only our calling so that we can step into our freedom.
To do no evil is good, to intend none better.
The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.
Obedience to God is the pathway to the life you really want to live.
Obedience is a strong virtue, capable of making me master of my emotions by giving me more strength to conquer my pride as I submit to those above me out of respect for their God-given authority and those below me out of love.
