LDS: Grace Earned by Conforming

 Mormon Doctrine, p. 241 “Grace is granted to men proportionately as they conform to the standards of personal righteousness that are part of the gospel plan. … “If you keep my commandments,” the Lord says, “you shall receive of his fulness, and be glorified in me as I am in the Father; therefore, I say unto you, you shall receive grace for grace.” (D. & C. 93:6-20.)” — Bruce McConkie

Ephesians 2:8-9 “For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: ⁹ Not of works, lest any man should boast.”

The word grace and its derivatives is in the Bible 193 times (OT – 69, NT – 124). The transliteration is charis and it means divine influence and its reflection (gratitude).

Most unfortunately, we see nothing of the sort in the LDS definition of grace. If they were grateful for the grace God bountifully bestowed on them there’d be no need for conforming to their manmade rules.

When you have the opportunity, please share the truth with a Mormon!
