Doctrine and Covenants 70: 1-4

 

What sacred responsibility do you have in how you treat the revelations and commandments God has given?

"1 Behold, and hearken, O ye inhabitants of Zion, and all ye people of my church who are afar off, and hear the word of the Lord which I give unto my servant Joseph Smith, Jun., and also unto my servant Martin Harris, and also unto my servant Oliver Cowdery, and also unto my servant John Whitmer, and also unto my servant Sidney Rigdon, and also unto my servant William W. Phelps, by the way of commandment unto them.

2 For I give unto them a commandment; wherefore hearken and hear, for thus saith the Lord unto them—

3 I, the Lord, have appointed them, and ordained them to be stewards over the revelations and commandments which I have given unto them, and which I shall hereafter give unto them;

4 And an account of this stewardship will I require of them in the day of judgment." (Doctrine and Covenants 70: 1-4)

And here's the commentary entitled: "I am accountable for the revelations the Lord has given." : 

"The Lord gave certain elders the responsibility to oversee the publishing of the revelations. Even though you do not have that specific responsibility, what is your stewardship or responsibility “over the revelations and commandments”? (verse 3)."

My stewardship or responsibility "over the revelations and commandments" is mostly to study them and strive to live them. This way my life will resemble that of Christ more. This is holding up my light, which is Jesus Christ and others will naturally be drawn to this light.
