Mark 1:14-15
Now after that John was put in prison, Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God, And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel.
Now is the time. Will you do what Jesus said and repent and believe the gospel?
Message 106:25
The Lord does not change his mind or plans, and is no respecter of persons. He will not forget his promises, nor will he alter his standard or ways of values, but merciful and longsuffering. He would that none ignore his laws forever. Yea, not even his chosen people—lo, the work is not yet finished. His message is valid today as when it was first uttered.
God does not change. His word does not change. His actions will not change. We have to change to fit him. Will you change?
Galations 5:22-26
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law. And they that are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts. If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit. Let us not be desirous of vain glory, provoking one another, envying one another.
Let the Christ show through you. This is done by the fruits of the sprit. We can’t just talk about having these fruits, but have to actually have them in our actions.
Alma 24:7-10
Now, these are the words which he said unto the people concerning the matter: I thank my God, my beloved people, that our great God has in goodness sent these our brethren, the Nephites, unto us to preach unto us, and to convince us of the traditions of our wicked fathers. And behold, I thank my great God that he has given us a portion of his Spirit to soften our hearts, that we have opened a correspondence with these brethren, the Nephites. And behold, I also thank my God, that by opening this correspondence we have been convinced of our sins, and of the many murders which we have committed. And I also thank my God, yea, my great God, that he hath granted unto us that we might repent of these things, and also that he hath forgiven us of those our many sins and murders which we have committed, and took away the guilt from our hearts, through the merits of his Son.
I hope that there will several people in our near future that has comments similar to this. The joy that people have when they find Christ is amazing to see. I can’t for the multitudes to come into the truth and be washed clean.
Mark 12:28-34
And one of the scribes came, and having heard them reasoning together, and perceiving that he had answered them well, asked him, Which is the first commandment of all? And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord: And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment. And the second is like, namely this, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these. And the scribe said unto him, Well, Master, thou hast said the truth: for there is one God; and there is none other but he: And to love him with all the heart, and with all the understanding, and with all the soul, and with all the strength, and to love his neighbour as himself, is more than all whole burnt offerings and sacrifices. And when Jesus saw that he answered discreetly, he said unto him, Thou art not far from the kingdom of God. And no man after that durst ask him any question.
Love is the basics of everything. If we love god and love each other we will enjoy God’s blessings. People get caught up with rules and traditions and they forget all they have to do it love. Love is following Christ’s teachings, being kinds to all of mankind, and putting you last. Love is basic.
