Question

But can those converted to God obey these commandments [the Ten Commandments] perfectly?

Answer

No. In this life even the holiest have only a small beginning of this obedience.1 Nevertheless, with all seriousness of purpose, they do begin to live according to all, not only some, of God's commandments.2
