Ether 2:12 “Behold, this is a choice land, and whatsoever nation shall possess it shall be free from bondage, and from captivity, and from all other nations under heaven, if they will but serve the God of the land, who is Jesus Christ, who hath been manifested by the things which we have written.”
On Memorial Day, our minds reflect on the examples of those whose lives were living proof of this scripture. Those reflections should be motivation for us all to do a little bit more to make sure our lives are centered on our Savior. What more can we do? A careful study of the scriptures can reveal to us some of Satan’s game plan and give great advice on how we, through centering our lives on the Savior, can not only avoid deception, but become who our God is counting on us to be. For example Joseph Smith- Matthew 1 warns, “For in those days [this day] there shall also arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall show great signs and wonders, insomuch, that, if possible, they shall deceive the very elect, who are the elect according to the covenant.” This makes it clear that having made covenants is not enough. We must always be KEEPING OUR COVENANTS in order to not be deceived and to continue to enjoy the blessings of this land. It is good to be grateful for those who have gone before us. It is even better for us to show that gratitude by doing our part NOW. Comments are closed.
