"Obedience is the great test of life."

Thomas S. Monson 

I think this statement means that in order to pass the test in life you must obey all the rules that have been given to us. This test is the one that determines whether we fail or succeed in life. If someone doesn't abide by the rules they will fail but if someone obeys the rules they will be successful. That is how life testes you; it will see if you obey the rules or not.
