This last week was good because Elder Lee and I were able to reach our goal of getting more meetings. I was able to meet with a large variety of different people, with different backgrounds, lifestyles, and just everything. But, the one thing they have in common is that they all want to find peace and to be happy in life.
All of us are different, but we all have the same ultimate goal. Not, one of us is ordinary. We are all special! We all chose to come to this Earth to go through experiences in order to progress and grow. And, God has prepared a way to live where we can overcome all that is unjust in this imperfect life. The Gospel of Jesus Christ!
Recently, I have been pondering about the Gospel. And I have come to realize that it is by following these principles that we can have access to the Powers of Heaven in this life.
#1
1 Faith, 2 Repentance, 3 Baptism, 4 Gift of the Holy Ghost, and 5 Enduring to the End
I have seen the difference it makes in living the Gospel of Christ.
I have also seen people who follow this same pattern in trying to make the most out of life, but without knowing or having the Gospel. And, it is interesting to see the difference. It would look something like this...
#2
1 Hopes/Goals, 2 Change/Growth, 3 Commitment/Devotion, 4 Good influence/Personal Guidance, 5 Never Give up/ Perseverance
These are Eternal truths that people live! And, they make a huge difference an anyone's life if they apply it, but the one difference between the methods is when we live according to the Gospel of Jesus Christ we have aid from on High! And, if you really look at it, the difference is astronomical. I could go on and on about the difference between them. To have Faith or just life aspirations. To have an applicable Eternal Atonement to rely on to become what God has prepared to be or just changing to achieve and find success. To have an ordinance where you are given the right and access to unimaginable spiritual gifts and blessings or not.
The heavens can can open into our lives when we follow the teachings of His son. When we do so we can be the means of God blessing His beloved children, because we need it!
I would ask you to compare the difference it would make in your life if you didn't have Christ's Gospel in your life. What would be the difference in living a life according to method #1 and #2? I promise the the difference is there. I know that if we live the Gospel the of Jesus Christ, then we can have the enlightenment of Heaven in our lives and it will even make great difference in the lives of those around us!!! We are so blessed by His followers.
Love Elder Alger
