His commandments are not burdensome.

“This is the will of my Father, that everyone who looks on the Son and believes in him should have eternal life.”—Whatever we ask we receive from him, because we keep his commandments and do what pleases him.

“My yoke is easy, and my burden is light.”—“If you love me, you will keep my commandments…. Whoever has my commandments and keeps them, he it is who loves me. And he who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will love him and manifest myself to him.”

Blessed is the one who finds wisdom, and the one who gets understanding…. Her ways are ways of pleasantness, and all her paths are peace.—Great peace have those who love your law; nothing can make them stumble.—I delight in the law of God, in my inner being.

This is his commandment, that we believe in the name of his Son Jesus Christ and love one another.—Love does no wrong to a neighbor; therefore love is the fulfilling of the law.

Remember not the sins of my youth or my transgressions.

In love you have delivered my life from the pit of destruction, for you have cast all my sins behind your back.—Who is a God like you, pardoning iniquity?… He does not retain his anger forever, because he delights in steadfast love.—To him who loves us and has freed us from our sins by his blood,… to him be glory and dominion forever and ever.
