our life wont be filled with love because of our own works of kindness. It's the other way around; Jesus fills our life with love and forgiveness and in our love for him, we desire to love and serve those in our life, not for a reward, but because we have already been rewarded with the gift of life from Jesus Christ
@clarkdannyclarkdanny You're right that Jesus fills our life with love and forgiveness, and he is the reason we should serve others. I think we serve others to show our love for him and we are filled with his spirit and charity when we do. What Jesus gave us is a gift, and there is no way to repay him. We can love him and serve him and his children. We can also learn of him line upon line, precept upon precept (Isa 28:10) to become a little more like him (Matthew 26:25) and follow him.
@clarkdannyclarkdanny "Devotion to the work of the Lord Jesus Christ", that is what He said in the video. Peace and joy are what He gives us, especially when we do His will. You are right, it is not for a reward, but they never said it was. The fact that God does reward those who do his work is not the reason we do it.
So you see, we seem to agree clarkdannyclarkdanny.
@DeusUniversa10... From an Apostle of the Lord "The gospel of Jesus Christ is not an obligation, it is a pathway marked by our loving father in heaven, leading to happiness and peace in this life, and glory and inexpressible fulfillment in the life to come. The gospel is a light that penetrates mortality and illuminates the way before us.
Why does this message need to be linked to religion? I've heard similar stories elsewhere trying to associate them with all sorts of things, even dieting!
@chronDiggity Who said it had to be linked to religion?? It just was applied to religion here....I could just as easily go onto a video about dieting and say...."WHY DOES THIS MESSAGE NEED TO BE LINKED TO DIETING???
I love this video.As Elder Ballard had said our small acts of kindness will accumulate to become bigger and bigger. In every small things, great things shall come to pass.
@ilikesuzuki Mormons believe in God. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has a prophet and apostles that are the mouthpieces of God here on earth. I know that if we listen to their counsel, we will be able to follow God.
@blaker53 I am an amateur scholar with high functioning autism that was born in Renton and grew up in Western Washington and I can tell you that in my sight, the prophets of the most high are also the most logical speakers. They are perfectly logical because their words or ideas are completely clean of all of selfish desires and are based on faith and fact alone. While many interpret the Bible to make God subjective, the Bible itself says that God only respects those who obey the Golden Rule.
@SirGabriel2076 "While many interpret the Bible to make God subjective, the Bible itself says that God only respects those who obey the Golden Rule."
Well, that's a nice thought, but I bet you wouldn't like it if some powerful group told you that you couldn't marry the person you loved because of some belief they had. It's none of their business, but they stop you anyway. Wouldn't that be terrible?
How would you feel? That breaks the golden rule, doesn't it?
@ilikesuzuki These videos provide life learning messages that are provided by the LDS (Mormon) church to learn life long lessons to help us become better people. There are at least a hundred videos that the church has put out that are similar to this video.
@SugarFreeTargets This channel is here to spread the gospel of Jesus through wonderful little messages like this one, and to bring as all closer to Christ by reminding us that He still calls prophets today just like in the times of the bible :)
