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 76

Speaking of those that would inherit the Terrestrial  kingdom, the Lord said -

"Who received not the testimony of Jesus in the flesh, but afterwards received it."  (Doctrine and Covenants | Section 76:74)

I couldn't help but ponder what it meant to "receive the testimony of Jesus".  The more I thought about it, the more I felt that having a testimony of Jesus would be those that had experienced His forgiveness and redemption.  In other words has practiced true repentance. It does not necessarily mean that an individual continues to keep their covenants and be valiant.
