D&C 63
For those of whom the Savior has redeemed, He teaches a very important concept -
"Wherefore, let the church repent of their sins, and I, the Lord, will own them; otherwise they shall be cut off." (Doctrine and Covenants Section 63:63)
Even though He loves us and allows agency, He makes it clear that for those of whom He redeems, He owns. We become His servants. He has so stated -
"...Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, with all thy might, mind, and strength; and in the name of Jesus Christ thou shalt serve him." (Doctrine and Covenants Section 59:5)
Paul taught the Corinthians -
"Ye are bought with a price; be not ye the servants of men." (New Testament 1 Corinthians 7:23)
As we feel the songs of redeeming love, are feelings should also reflect our desire to be His servant and do whatever is His will.
