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 63

Speaking of His grace, the Savior says -

"Who buildeth up at his own will and pleasure..."  (Doctrine and Covenants | Section 63:4)

For -

"...signs [or blessings] come by faith, not by the will of men, nor as they please, but by the will of God.
11 Yea, signs come by faith, unto mighty works, for without faith no man pleaseth God..."  (Doctrine and Covenants | Section 63:10 - 11)

For -

"...he that endureth in faith and doeth my will, the same shall overcome..."  (Doctrine and Covenants | Section 63:20)


And to the unbelieving or faithless, the Lord states concerning His will and grace -

"...behold, I, the Lord, say unto you that ye are not justified..."  (Doctrine and Covenants | Section 63:19)

Basically, His will and pleasure is that we keep His commandments.
