Liahona, ‘Grow into the Principle of Revelation’, January 2021 “Worthy to Receive Revelation … Refining our ability to recognize the 
whisperings of the Holy Ghost and increasing our capacity to receive revelation requires worthiness. Worthiness does not require perfection, but it requires that we strive for increased purity.
The Lord expects daily effort, daily improvement, daily repentance. Worthiness brings purity, and purity qualifies us for the Holy Ghost. As we take “the Holy Spirit for [our] guide” (Doctrine and Covenants 45:57), we qualify for personal revelation.” — Russell Nelson1
John 1:12 “But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name”.
Matthew 11:28-30, Romans 10:13, Revelation 22:17, and Romans 5:8 are just a few of the verses stating we can come to Him for salvation without a price. Confession is all that’s needed. It’s not worthiness – our works are as filthy rags as it says in Isaiah 64:6. Nothing we could ever do will measure up.
If we had to be worthy enough, what does His spilt blood do?
Mr. Nelson’s remarks can be found in the latest Liahona magazine – the link is provided above. Nothing he said in his article contains truth, and regrettably, people like my mother believes what this man says.
Don’t miss the opportunity to share this great news of Jesus’ love and sacrifice for us with the Mormon you know!
1.Doctrine and Covenants 45:57 “For they that are wise and have received the truth, and have taken the Holy Spirit for their guide, and have not been deceived—verily I say unto you, they shall not be hewn down and cast into the fire, but shall abide the day.”
With Love in Christ –

AMEN Michelle, if it was even remotely possible to be “worthy’ before God, we wouldn’t need a Savior if we could do it on our own.
And what qualifies a Bishop to deem someone “worthy”. Also the COJCOLDS hasn’t really done anything about bishops being alone with minors and asking them personal, inappropriate questions. The handbook now says the parents should prepare their kids and the parents have the option of sitting in the next room. I guess this is why I keep seeing these commercials for class action lawsuits specificly regarding the COJCOLDS. If you’re a Bishop you have no business being alone with a minor that’s not yours…you are just asking for trouble.
