Scripture Blog

This weblog is my personal online scripture journal. I try to read the scriptures each morning as I exercise on my cross-trainer. It has a great impact on my life and my testimony of the Savior and his restored church. The journal is really for my own benefit but I have set it up as a web log in hopes to benefit anyone else that may be interested. "For he that diligently seeketh shall find; and the mysteries of God shall be unfolded unto them, by the power of the Holy Ghost..." 1 Nephi 10:19

D&C 23

I believe from the beginning or as I understand when we became infants in a pre-mortal existence, we were taught the necessary or essential ordinances and covenants that we must enter into and keep to receive the greatest blessings of God.  Though the Lord made temporary covenants with the children of Israel, these were only temporary and a schoolmaster.  Thus the Lord said -

"...all old covenants have I caused to be done away in this thing; and this is a new and an everlasting covenant, even that which was from the beginning."  (Doctrine and Covenants | Section 22:1)
