Christlike ATtributes

12/4/08

Missionaries are commanded to serve God with all their "heart might mind and strength"

  • D&C 4: 2-5 I think one Christlike attribute that we all need to have is endurance. We need to go throughout our mission with ALL our heart might mind and strength. We need to endure to the end in all things. Work hard from the start to the finish. That is a Christlike attribute.
  • D&C 88:84 Just like the passage above, we need to labor diligently. We need to strive to perfect our ministry, and do the best we can in all things. We are responsible to help them gain a testimony. We need to do our part

Obedience is a vital attribute to missionary work

  • 1 Nephi 3:7 I will go and do the things which the lord has commanded. It is as simple as that. We need to go and do the things which we have been commanded. We are called of god to go and serve. To do his work, and we need to go do it with the fulness of our heart.
  • Alma 37:35 WE have been learning about the church and its teachings our entire lives. It has been engrained in our mind the teachings and small bible stories. Now it is our time and our duty to help share that ever giving gift to the world. We are able to help teach and preach this gospel to those who need it. it feels good to know that we are helping people gain everlasting happiness.

Christlike Attributes

12/02/08

Missionaries strive to develop Christlike attributes.

  • 3 Nephi 18:24 - We need to have Christlike attributes at all times on our mission, and do our best to have them all the time. We are ambassadors of the lord, and we need to act like he does. When we go out we are representing "his light" We hold it up and we teach it. It is just like we are representing him.
  • D&C 4:5-6 - These are all very important things we need to learn. These are all wonderful attributes, Christlike attributes. We need to strive to do better in all of these things. Every single day we should pray for help. We can't become perfect on our own, the more we ask for help, and the harder we try, we can become more like him. We can become more like christ and become closer to exaltation.
