Attend Meetings to Qualify for Guidance

Ensign, ‘Strengthen Home and Family’, November 2007, 12 “How can attending your meetings–particularly sacrament meeting–bless you and your family? Regularly partaking of the sacrament will help you keep your baptismal covenant. As you live worthily and renew this covenant weekly, you will qualify for the guidance of the Spirit. The Holy Ghost will guide you and will teach you what you should do to bless your family.” — Mary N. Cook

John 14:15-18, 23 “If ye love me, keep my commandments. 16 And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever; 17 Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you. 18 I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you. 23 Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.”

Romans 5:8 “But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.”

Romans 10:4, 9-10 “For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth. 9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. 10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.”

Questions for today –

How are members supposed to keep their covenants when they can’t attend church services during the COVID pandemic?

If you’re LDS do you realize you can call on Jesus before you attempt to be righteous?

Romans 5:8 tells us that God proved His love for us while we were still sinners. If God loved us before our attempt at righteousness, why would He demand works? Isaiah 64:6 says our works are as filthy rags which in essence means they’re of no use.

Oh beloved, His word also tells us that Christ is the end of the Law for those who believe. You can’t be a believer in Him while performing duties. As I’ve said before, you can’t walk to work while driving your car. It’s either one or the other, but it can’t be both.

If the Church doors are closed where do you go for help?

We pray you’ll turn to Him! You can find these answers in His word, not inside a building. Your righteousness is dependent upon only one thing.

Confessing Jesus is God, and you want Him to be your Redeemer because He spilt His blood for you. If you have to work for a redeemer to be in your life, why believe?

With Love in Christ –—
