The first verse of Doctrine and Covenants 93 lays out a simple formula: Those who follow Christ will come to know Him. He promises that we will "see [His] face and know that [He is]," which implies far more than being in His presence. It means that we will understand and recognize Him.
From Vision to Practice: The Relationship Between Doctrine and Covenants 76 and 78
The practical instructions given in Doctrine and Covenants 78 make frequent reference to the transcendent vision recorded two weeks earlier in Doctrine and Covenants 76. Spiritual experiences lead seamlessly to practical instructions. Celestial glory is a continuation and amplification of what we are building today with God's help.
More Abundantly
The Greek word perissós and the Latin word abundare mean "more than enough," conjuring an image of water overflowing. Jesus, Paul, and Alma all testify that God wants to bless us "more abundantly." In modern revelation, the Lord promises that to those who receive His words, he will give "more abundantly, even power."
Boundaries and Forgiveness
All relationships need boundaries, and setting limits on appropriate behavior does not lessen love or forgiveness. The Lord taught Alma that there are behavioral boundaries for church members, but He reiterated that church members should forgive one another. Forgiveness involves seeing others as children of God, even as we establish and maintain healthy relationship boundaries.
Finding Opportunities to “Be One”
Unity is essential to discipleship. Alma taught that having “hearts knit together in unity and in love” made his people “the children of God." The Savior said, “Be one; and if ye are not one, ye are not mine." Elder Buckner urged us to look for opportunities to be one instead of reasons to divide.
Thy Daily Walk
The Lord emphasized to Martin Harris that we need to focus on our "daily walk," living every day according to the counsel we have received. Two essential components of our daily walk with Him are prayer and gratitude.
Mourning
Jesus said, "Blessed are all they that mourn, for they shall be comforted." Mourning is an expression of love. When we open our hearts to others, we feel their sorrow, and we miss them when they are gone. Mourning is an integral part of love.
“I Am Mormon”
Mormon tells us three things when he introduces himself in 3 Nephi 5: 1. The origin and significance of his name 2. His calling and purpose 3. His multigenerational perspective
Exquisite
Alma described his pain and his joy using the same word: exquisite, which means "in the highest degree." Lehi taught that we cannot feel joy if we feel no misery. Maybe our sorrows expand our hearts, making room for us to feel more joy.
“See, Here Is Water”
The eunuch said to Peter, "See, here is water; what doth hinder me to be baptized?" Alma made a similar invitation to his people. We can emulate this action-orientation in our daily decisions by acknowledging what's possible and identifying roadblocks.
