12 If you keep not my commandments, the love of the Father shall not continue with you, therefore you shall walk in darkness.
This is the Lord speaking. If one doesn't keep commandments (this is referring to building a temple in Kirtland Ohio), then God doesn't love you. A small order and ignoring it gets a big response. Imagine how God feels about breaking one of the ten commandments that are not so situational!
Do we really want to "walk in darkness"?
