Divine Helps for Mortality
Excerpts
By far, God’s strongest mortal help was His provision of a Savior, Jesus Christ, who would suffer to pay the price and provide forgiveness for repented sins. …
Our Heavenly Father’s plan provides other helps to guide us through our mortal journeys. I will speak of four of these. …
First, I speak of the Light or Spirit of Christ. In his great teaching in the book of Moroni, Moroni quotes his father that “the Spirit of Christ is given to every man, that he may know good from evil” (Moroni 7:16). …
The second of the great assistances provided by the Lord to help us choose what is right is a cluster of divine directions in the scriptures as part of the plan of salvation (plan of happiness). These directions are commandments, ordinances, and covenants.
Commandments define the path our Heavenly Father has marked out for us to progress toward eternal life. …
Ordinances and covenants are part of the law that defines the path to eternal life. …
Other God-given helps for making right choices are the manifestations of the Holy Ghost. …
One of the most significant of God’s helps for His faithful children is the gift of the Holy Ghost. …
With so many powerful helps to guide us in our mortal journeys, it is disappointing that so many remain unprepared for their appointed meeting with our Savior and Redeemer, Jesus Christ. …
Humility and trust in the Lord are the remedies for such deviations.
