Anther example of a temporal and spiritual law is the Word Of Wisdom. We are given this temporal law to follow, which when followed helps us have healthier bodies and minds. In a talk by Roy W. Doxey, speaking of the early saints, he said: "Those faithful saints who endeavored to live this law—though old habits were difficult to discontinue and a belief apparently was held by some that it was not a commandment—were bounteously blessed, as is the faithful saint today. They not only realized temporal salvation (health, economy of funds, etc.) and spiritual salvation (“wisdom and great treasures of knowledge, even hidden treasures”), but they recognized that the will of the Lord is sufficient for obedience. Their acceptance of the will of the Lord, as it is today, was tantamount to a commandment. (D&C 89:2.)
