I've noticed some leaders are very good at reading the handbook and focusing on the letter of the law in living the Gospel of Jesus Christ. But, in my view, this is a very telestial perspective.
Far better, once the letter of the law is understood, to then live the spirit of the law. The higher understanding allows us to be far more Christ-like, being directed by the Spirit. Suddenly, living the Gospel of Jesus Christ is not some step by step process, but a genuine change from a "natural" person to a disciple of Christ.
Your thoughts are welcome. I'm not sure I've adequately put this into words, so will find some talks by Neal A. Maxwell and David A. Bednar and other apostles over the years who have described this far better. Will post links to them here in due course . . . . .
