77 Truths Flashcards
Truth 1 - Eternal Life
To know God personally and live as he lives.
Salvation
If salvation is to occur it is because we have personally aligned ourselves with the truth.
Salvation is not something we earn, but something we become.
As Godliness Increases
As godliness increases within the soul, we cease to create separation from God through sin. The veil of forgetfulness fades and we grow closer to the oneness of Father’s light.
D&C 35:2
I am Jesus Christ, the Son of God, who was crucified for the sins of the world, even as many as will believe on my name, that they may become the sons of God, even one in me as I am one in the Father, as the Father is one in me, that we may be one.
Truth 2 - Transformation and Redemption Through the Atonement
To dwell with our heavenly parents requires spiritual transformation through the atonement of Jesus Christ. Because of the Savior’s divine sacrifice, we can be cleansed from all sin and redeemed from the fall.
Process of Overcoming the Fall
When we choose such a lifestyle of obedience we enter into a process of ever-incresing light and truth and understanding. Every opportunity to sin, or to be selfish, or to yield to temptation is met with faith, and the choice is made again and again to yield to truth
Such a life is a life of repentance. Such a life is a life of faith. Such a life is a life of joy. Repentance is not limited to refusing to choose evil. It is also choosing to embrace godliness and to act Christ-life in dispensing grace to others. It is quite literally, to repent of the human condition.
