SG Section 93
After studying DC 93, what do you believe would be an accurate title for this section?
The teachings of Worship
What two purposes did the Lord give for revealing this section to the prophet Joseph Smith? (v. 19)
1. You may understand and know how to worship and know what you worship.
2. That you may come unto the Father in my name, and in due time receive of his fulness.
What does ‘
worship
’ mean? (reference and explain the source(s) you found and cite)
According to the topical guide, worship means love, reverence, service, and devotion for God (D&C 20:19). Worship includes prayer, fasting, church service, participating in gospel ordinances, and other practices that show devotion and love for God. https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/scriptures/gs/worship?lang=eng
Explain and reference three truths the Lord reveals in section 93 concerning the “
how
” of worship? 1. Repentance and obedience are essential:
The Lord emphasizes that those who forsake their sins, come unto Him, call on His name, obey His voice, and keep His commandments will be able to see His face and know that He is God (D&C 93:1). This highlights the importance of repentance and obedience in the worship of God.
2. Understanding Christ's role as the source of light:
The Lord declares that He is the true light that enlightens every person who comes into the world (D&C 93:2). This truth underscores the centrality of Jesus Christ in worship and emphasizes His role as the source of spiritual enlightenment and guidance for all.
3. The progression to receive of God's fullness: The Lord teaches that individual, like Jesus Christ, can progress from grace to grace until they receive a fullness (D&C 93:13-15). This highlights the concept of spiritual progression and growth in the worship of God. It suggests that worship is not merely a static state but rather a dynamic journey of drawing closer to God and receiving greater manifestations of His glory and blessings.
Explain and reference three truths the Lord reveals in section 93 concerning the “
what
” of worship?
1. The centrality of truth and light in worship: The Lord emphasizes the importance of truth and light in worship. He declares that truth is knowledge of things as they are, were, and are to come, and that light and truth constitute the glory of God (D&C 93:24, 36). This truth underscores the necessity of seeking and adhering to truth in worship, as well as embracing the light of Christ to guide one's path.
2. The agency of man in worship: The Lord teaches about the agency of man in worship and the consequences of choices made in relation to light and truth. He explains that every spirit of man was innocent in the beginning and that individuals have the agency to receive or reject light. Those who reject light are under condemnation (D&C 93:31-32). This truth highlights the responsibility individuals have in exercising their agency to choose righteousness and embrace truth in their worship.
3. The importance of family and household worship: The Lord addresses the need for proper order and diligence in family worship. He admonishes individuals, including Joseph Smith, Sidney Rigdon, and Newel K. Whitney, to set their houses in order and to teach their children light and truth (D&C 93:41-50). This truth emphasizes the significance of family worship and the role of parents in teaching and nurturing their children in the ways of the Lord.
What do you see revealed in this message as to “
why
” we worship? (v. 19)
We worship him to receive his fulness.
What is the repeating rebuke given by the Lord to leaders of his Church (v. 40-53)? The repeating rebuke given by the Lord to the leaders of His Church, is primarily centered around the theme of
neglecting the responsibilities of family and household worship. How does the Lord’s rebuke found in vs. 40-53 of section 93 relate to the doctrines and principles of worship found in vs. 1-39? The Lord's rebuke in verses 40-53 of Section 93 is directly related to the doctrines and principles of worship found in verses 1-39. The rebuke addresses the failure of the leaders, particularly in their roles as parents and heads of households, to uphold the principles of worship outlined earlier in the section.
“True doctrine, understood
, changes attitudes and behavior
.” (Boyd K. Packer, CR Oct 1986, 20, Alma 31:5)
How does Elder Packer’s statement relate to worship principles taught in section 93? It relates back to D&C 93:13-15 and highlights the concept of spiritual progression and growth in the worship of God. It suggests that worship is not merely a static state but rather a dynamic journey of drawing closer to God and receiving greater manifestations of His glory and blessings. Questions (2)
What does it mean to "receive of His fullness" as mentioned in verse 19?
How could these Elders serve missions and still keep up parental responsibility
