obedience to the gospel is the most
important thing in life. it is nice to have nice things. it is great to have a
big house. it is wonderful to have talents and nice cars and nice clothes.
nothing is wrong with that. but the most important thing in this world (and, i
might add, in the world to come) is whether or not you are obedient to the
Gospel and to the laws of God. For he who is not able to abide the law of a
celestial kingdom cannot abide a celestial glory. it is the most simple idea in
the world. if we are not willing to live the way God lives in this life, then
we will not be allowed to live the way God lives in the next life. Here is the
great part: even when we mess up with the simple laws He has given us to live,
there is hope. there is hope through His Son, our Savior Jesus Christ. So, to
quote elder holland, if you have made covenants, keep them. if you haven't made
them, make them. if you have made them and broken them, repent and repair them.
it is God's good pleasure to give us the kingdom. All He asks is that we
prepare to receive it. Look forward. Repent every day. Read the scriptures, go
to church, pray, so you can have the Spirit with you to change your heart and
prepare you to live the life our Father lives.
love you all, have a great week!
