Personal Worthiness

9/9

Personal Worthiness part 1

  • Personal worthiness is necessary to accomplish missionary work
  • D&C 88:74 - I personally feel like this scripture is written for our days. It's so crazy how some things in the scriptures you just know are meant for your ears. It says for us, the first laborers of this last kingdom. The children of the last day. He is giving us the commandment to go out and serve. It is "our" responsibility, it is my responsibility to go out and serve. And not just serve, but organize, prepare, sanctify, purify, and cleanse so we may be clean. This also goes back to searching worthily. When we go, we need to go and do in a state as pure as possible.
  • D&C 121:45 - This scripture, in the "treasured up" form means to me a give take relationship with the lord. If we are charitable to not just your friends, but to all men. If you have faith, virtue, and let your confidence wax strong. The doctrine of the priesthood will distil upon thy soul as the dews from heaven. If we give a little, if we do what we are told, what we know is right. Then we will be greatly blessed.
