As we begin our study of the characher of Christ, we start with the grand reality that He is the great I AM.
One of the defining aspects of the character of Christ is that He is "slow to anger and long-suffering, and of a forgiving disposition, and does forgive iniquity, transgression, and sin."
It is easy to love Christ and be afraid of Him at the same time. He knows all that we have done. Yet, Jesus does not throw stones. Any interaction we might have with Him, would never include shame or comdemnation.
Have you ever received a prompting and then the next day doubted it? Do you sometimes think that Christ blesses others, but not you? Knowing that Christ does not change his mind, or take blessings back, or have favorites, is vital to our faith.
Christ knows all things. He knows the whole human experience as well as each human being.
With His perfect knowledge, Christ knows when our suffering is needed for our growth and when it is not.
Learning to judge like He does, also allows us to understand how He will judge us in our final judgement.
In this episode, we continuing our discussion on the Savior's judgment and then discuss final judgment and the Savior's deal.
When Christ was abondoned by His Father and infinitely alone, He saw each of us. WE got Him through His pain, now HE gets us through ours. We are eternally connected to him.
Why was a suffering Savior necessary for our Salvation? What did Christ really do to save us?
If we meet the conditions, the Savior's suffering pays our debt to justice in full. His gospel contains the contions we must meet. Here we begin with what we usually list last: enduring to the end.
Faith is evidence of things not seen. Each time Heavely Father reaches out and manifests Himself to us, our faith grow.
Having faith means that we hold on tightly to what we know is true even in the dark when we are afraid.
Repentance is often seen as a checklist. The Book of Mormon presents a different idea. Repentance is about restoring our relationship with Christ; a relationship that we have damaged.
Walking the covenant path makes us partners with Christ and opens the door to increased divine help.
