Always
Remember
This past General Conference Elder Hallstrom gave a talk, “Converted to His Gospel through His Church. He discussed the difference between being active in the Gospel and active in the church. He gave three suggestions that if followed will increase our conversion to the Saviors gospel. I want to discuss
briefly the second suggestion which was to focus on the ordinances and covenants of the gospel. He said, briefly the second suggestion which was to focus on the ordinances and covenants of the gospel. He said, “If there are any of the essential ordinances yet to be performed in your life, intently prepare to receive each of them. Then we need to establish the discipline to live faithful to our covenants, fully using the weekly gift of the sacrament. Many of us are not being regularly changed by its cleansing power because of our lack of reverence for this holy ordinance.”
Notice that one of the purposes of the Sacrament is to change us as we reverence the sacrament. I recently listened to a question and answer session from Elder Bednar that was connected with his new book, “To Act In Doctrine.” The video is below, as you listen to Elder Bednars answer from this sweet boys question, think how his council might help us to have more reverence for the sacrament.
We can see how remembering is central to the covenant we make at the time of the sacrament. When we strive to always remember him we will in turn have greater reverence for this ordinance and be blessed by having our natures changed through the Atonement of Christ.
