Moroni 10: 30-33

 

How do you feel about your opportunity to become perfect through the grace of Jesus Christ?

"30 And again I would exhort you that ye would come unto Christ, and lay hold upon every good gift, and touch not the evil gift, nor the unclean thing.

31 And awake, and arise from the dust, O Jerusalem; yea, and put on thy beautiful garments, O daughter of Zion; and strengthen thy stakes and enlarge thy borders forever, that thou mayest no more be confounded, that the covenants of the Eternal Father which he hath made unto thee, O house of Israel, may be fulfilled.

32 Yea, come unto Christ, and be perfected in him, and deny yourselves of all ungodliness; and if ye shall deny yourselves of all ungodliness, and love God with all your might, mind and strength, then is his grace sufficient for you, that by his grace ye may be perfect in Christ; and if by the grace of God ye are perfect in Christ, ye can in nowise deny the power of God.

33 And again, if ye by the grace of God are perfect in Christ, and deny not his power, then are ye sanctified in Christ by the grace of God, through the shedding of the blood of Christ, which is in the covenant of the Father unto the remission of your sins, that ye become holy, without spot." (Moroni 10: 30-33)

And here's the commentary entitled: "I can be perfected through the grace of Jesus Christ." : 

"Moroni’s counsel to “come unto Christ” involves more than learning of and thinking about Him. Rather, this is an invitation to come unto Christ in the most complete sense possible—to become as He is. As you read Moroni 10:30–33, notice phrases that help you understand what it means to come to Christ, how it is made possible, and the results for doing so.

Look back on your study of the Book of Mormon this year, and ponder what you have felt and learned about Jesus Christ. For example, how has the Book of Mormon helped you come unto Him? How has it helped you rely more completely on His grace? How has it helped you to “deny not” the Savior’s power? Consider sharing your own witness of the Book of Mormon with someone who needs to hear it, including loved ones and friends who may not know of its message.

If I become perfect my life will be really different. It will be a lot better up to the highest level than it is at the moment. I'll be able to remember everything and laser focus on things that truly matter most all the time. Then I'll be able to accomplish a lot more things than ever before. And I'll be able to quickly rise above my own challenges. And I'll be able to devote more time and energy to the service of the Lord and my brothers and sisters-making a difference in the lives of many of them more than ever before. 

I'm so grateful for the opportunity for me to become perfect through the grace of Jesus Christ. Having this opportunity is indeed a great privilege for me. As I strive to do what I can and as I turn to the Lord, relying on His grace, I've been able to transform and become my better version in every aspect of life, line upon line, precept upon precept. 

My study of the Book of Mormon this year has indeed helped me come unto Christ and rely on His grace more completely than ever before. It did help me "deny not" His power because I've been able to see His power working in the details and the details and the details and the details and the details and the details of my life more than ever before. I've been seeing more miracles happening in my life daily. I can't count the miracles that happened over this past year as I write this blog along with my Book of Mormon study. Being able to keep up with this is a miracle in itself. Writing this blog has indeed helped me keep up with my daily study of the Book of Mormon. Perfected my study because I'm able to truly do it daily this time. A day did not pass without my being able to read and study the Book of Mormon since I got back to writing this blog. 

If you've been reading what I'm writing in this blog, thank you so so much. You're helping me to keep doing this as well. Thank you for your appreciation of what I am sharing with you. This year 2024 is almost over now. It's been a great year. I did learn and grow a lot through this year's Book of Mormon study as part of the "Come, Follow Me" Sunday School Program of the church. And I want to and I choose to keep learning and growing and keep sharing what I'm learning with you.
