"Give ear to my word, and learn of me what I will concerning you"

D&C 58:1 “Give ear to my word, and learn of me what I will concerning you”
I think it’s important for us to know and understand the word of God. How can we do what he expects of us if we don’t know what that is? We must learn this by studying the scriptures and listening to our modern day prophet and apostles. Most importantly, we must act on what it is he wants us to do. In General Conference a couple weeks ago, Kevin R. Duncan of the Seventy said:
“What the prophets teach may to some seem outdated, unpopular, or even impossible. But God is a God of order and has established a system whereby we may know His will. “Surely the Lord God will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets.”6 At the opening of this, the dispensation of the fulness of times, the Lord reaffirmed that He would communicate with us through His prophets. He stated, “My word … shall all be fulfilled, whether by mine own voice or by the voice of my servants, it is the same.”
Trusting in and following the prophets is more than a blessing and a privilege. President Ezra Taft Benson declared that “our [very] salvation hangs on” following the prophet.”
