Step 03
Answer the following questions:
1.
What do these laws reveal about God’s character? (
100-150 words)
The laws we have are proof that our God is a God of order, and He has established this Church
through its thought and organization. These laws show us the character of God; they also
demonstrate how He responds to our prayers and answers our questions. The purpose of these
laws was to eliminate confusion and give us a clear understanding of what God expects and how
His Church should function. These laws were established as a result of questions and God's
desire to prevent us from becoming confused.
2.
What do they reveal about man’s nature? (
100-150 words)
Man by his own nature, if he is not organized, is in chaos, he needs structuring, otherwise he
will be involved in problems. To achieve success, we require guidance and rules from a superior
being, which allows us to comprehend our purpose in God's plan. In a fallen world, humans
tend to be bad, but this changes when they are close to Christ. Humanity is guided by these
laws to avoid temptations and choose good over evil, and these decisions and laws will help us
achieve eternal life.
Step 04
Create
five
self-evaluation questions based on these laws of God you selected from Section 42
that would be worth pondering on for a disciple. (
100-150 words)
1. Being a missionary of our Lord Jesus Christ, am I following the rules/regulations set by the
church and taking the words of the living prophet personally and seriously.
2. Am I making enough efforts in keeping the commandments of our Heavenly Father and Lord
Jesus Christ?
3. As a branch president, am I using the Lord's money wisely and am I encouraging my
counselors to do the same?
4. Am I conservative and modest when I make my clothing choices as I should be?
5. Do I use my time effectively and wisely and how can I avoid idleness and magnify my calling in
church and home?
Step 05
Reflect on the insights you gained this week. Write a
150-250 word paragraph
; describe what
the
single most powerful insight
was that came to you as you studies this week’s revelations
and what you hope to do with it.
Your paragraph should contain:
o
A description of what stood out to you.
o
What you hope to do better as a result of this new or deeper understanding you
have been given.
Here are some questions to consider in writing this paragraph:
o
Was there a particular “one=liner” in these revelations that captures your
greatest insight?
o
What was your biggest “aha” moment in studying these revelations?
o
What do you hope to do better as a result of what you have studied?
According to D&C 42:41 everything must be done with purity before God and Jesus Christ,
which tells me that healing must be in all aspects of our lives. I think I should improve on this,
sometimes it's hard to have pure thoughts because we can't stop thinking about things that
don't worry us or that are far from spiritual things. I think this writing is the essence of D&C 42.
It's the cave, it's my 'aha' moment. With what I have said, I hope to improve as a person, as a
husband, as a father, as a student, as a worker and as a son and servant of God. Another thing
that I really need to improve on is idleness or procrastination. I will be working hard to get
better in this area so I can become a better person.
