Preach My Gospel
About a month ago, I wrote to Blake and told him I wanted to study the Preach My Gospel book (this is the book that the missionaries of the Church Of Jesus Christ Of Latterday Saints learn). He wrote me and said, "mom, just study chapter 3 and chapter 6; the rest is just missionary stuff, and you would be bored with it," SO I got out my book and read chapter 3 twice. I am now studying chapter 6, entitled How do I develop Christlike Attributes. I am totally obsessed with this chapter. When Jesus says "Follow Me," he is talking to all who believe in Him. What better example for us who are trying to be more like him in our lives, striving to become wiser in our choices. Choice in our words, selection of thoughts, we can all become more like Him we believe in the Atonement of Christ. We know that none of us is perfect, but through the Atonement of Christ, we all can try every day to achieve this goal.
The Christlike Attributes included in this chapter are:
Faith in Jesus Christ
Hope
Charity and Love
Knowledge
Patience
Humility
Diligence
and Obedience
There are scriptures to study and an Attribute activity to help you develop your goal for each attribute.
I have decided to take one at a time and work on it, and when I fail at it, I will work on it again and again. Life is full of ups and downs, and as we all try to achieve these attributes, maybe together, we can make the world a better place to live in.
