In the Old Testament I read that Jehoahaz died and his son Joash reigned in his stead. He likewise did evil and made Isreal to sin. 2 Kgs. 13: 9-11 "And Jehoahaz slept with his fathers; and they buried him in Samaria: and Joash his son reigned in his stead. In the thirty and seventh year of Joash king of Judah began Jehoash the son of Jehoahaz to reign over Israel in Samaria, and reigned sixteen years. And he did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord; he departed not from all the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who made Israel sin: but he walked therein."
In the D&C we're told that if we're good and hold out faithful to the end, we'll be saved in the Kingdom of God. And salvation is the greatest gift we can receive from God. D&C 6: 13 "If thou wilt do good, yea, and hold out faithful to the end, thou shalt be saved in the kingdom of God, which is the greatest of all the gifts of God; for there is no gift greater than the gift of salvation."
Some verses with a thought booklet tell us that the most important commandments are to love God with all our heart and soul, and to love others. There are no commandments greater than these. Obviously the most important thing we can do in our lives is to love! Mark 12: 30-31 "And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment. And the second is like, namely this, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these."
