Charity- The Pure Love of Christ

Aspen and I have been studying from preach my gospel and have been spending a lot of time learning about Chrstlike Attributes. The very most important one that we all need to have is Charity. Charity is a gift from God. Mormon said that we should "pray unto the Father with all the energy of heart, that (we) may be filled with this love" (Moroni 7:48).

Some Scriptures and references that go with charity

Alma 7:24-

And see that ye have faith, hope, and charity, and then ye will always abound in good works.

2 Nephi 26:30-

Behold, the Lord hath forbidden this thing; wherefore, the Lord God hath given a commandment that all men should have charity, which charity is love. And except they should have charity they were nothing. Wherefore, if they should have charity they would not suffer the laborer in Zion to perish.

D&C 88:125-

And above all things, clothe yourselves with the bond of charity, as with a mantle, which is the bond of perfectness and peace.

1 Peter 4:8-

And above all things have fervent charity among yourselves: for charity shall cover the multitude of sins.

We have looked up sooooo many scriptures on charity, and there are so many because of how truly important it is. Its a commandment and essential to exaltation.
"except men shall have charity they cannot inherit that place which thou hast prepared in the mansions of thy Father."

Its something we all need to strive for and work on. And it is something we will always have to be conscious of and working towards. Charity is easy to have for those we love and care about, but we need to have it for ALL, as Chirst did. I want to challenge everyone to think of at least one person that they can work on having charity towards and work on charity in general. Pray and ask Heavenly father to be filled with this love. It will change our whole outlook on ourselves, those we come in contact with and make us more fit for the kingdom. Its one step closer to becoming perfect on our quest for perfection, in our quest to become like our older brother Jesus Christ. We love you all! have an awesome day!

With Love, Trent, Aspen and Felix.
