'''1. To obtain eternal salvation is it sufficient that we believe all that God has revealed? '''

No; we must also keep His commandments: 'If thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments' (Matt. xix. 17).

2. But are we able to keep the Commandments of God?

Yes, with the assistance of God's grace, which He refuses to no one who asks for it.

3. How do we know that we are able to keep the Commandments?

We know it, 1. Because God inflicts eternal punishment upon those who break them; and 2. Because there have been at all times Saints who faithfully observed them.
