Just to give credit where credit is due. Thank you for posting this speech by STEPHEN E. ROBINSON

http://speeches.byu.edu/reader/reader.php?id=7054

This is another teaching of Mormonism:

The Atonement: All for All,” Seventy Bruce Hafen quenched such high hopes when he commented on how some people “mistakenly think our Church is moving toward an understanding of the relationship between grace and works that draws on Protestant teachings.” Such “misconceptions,” he said, prompted him to address this topic in his conference message (Ensign magazine, May 2004, p.97). He then proceeded to warn LDS members that “If we must give all that we have, then our giving almost everything is not enough. If we almost keep the commandments, we almost receive the blessings.” (p.98, emphasis his).

Dr. Robert Millet regarding salvation: “The works and deeds of man, though insufficient of themselves for salvation, are necessary...Man cannot be saved by grace alone; as the Lord lives, he must keep the commandments; he must work the works of righteousness; he must work out his salvation with fear and trembling before the Lord” (pp.118-119 Grace Works, written by BYU professor Robert L. Millet.)

Why does that part of the Abrahamic Covenant offends you?

How else is a child of God going to hone their skills if they don’t practiced?

And what better teacher than the Lord to tutor those are teachable?
