Have you
given much thought as to what your ultimate goal is? How does it make you feel
when you read these words of Jesus: “Be ye therefore perfect, even as your
Father which is in heaven is perfect”? (Matthew 5:48.)
Your divine potential is to become like your Father in heaven, perfect and
without sin.
Perfection
is a word that causes different reactions from many people. Some people say,
“Perfection? Why, that is impossible!” Others say, “Perfection? I get
discouraged just thinking about it!”
Yet, would
the Lord give us a commandment that was impossible for us to keep? And when he
gives a commandment, doesn’t he, as Nephi said, prepare a way for us to
accomplish what he commands? The
Sermon on the Mount is the Lord’s blueprint for perfection.
