Yup. Which is a lot of what the Gospel seems to be about, it seems to me. Which is (our self-improvement) secondary to our acceptance (not necessarily our understanding) of the Atonement. After all, perfecting the Saints is one of our goals (and that includes perfecting ourselves), along with

Re: [ZION] Is Laughter a Sin?

Chet this is a good post, but I have another, additional, view of the striving for perfection. Section 93 says that truth is independent in the sphere in which it operates. Matthew says Be ye therefore perfect even as your Father in Heaven is perfect It seems impossible to be perfect by the
