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 redeeming the dead and proclaiming the Gospel. But even the mission of the Church comes after the acceptance of the Atonement itself.
Sort of off-topic, it's awe-inspiring to me that the Church fixedly sets its (our) sights on goals which all Church leaders and most members agree are literally impossible. Not only do we have to have faith that the Savior will cause these goals to be ultimately reached, we have to have faith that we will never see the goals obtained in our lifetimes. *jeep! --Chet On Mon, 14 Jul 2003 21:31:11 -0500 Stacy Smith <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: > In other words what you're saying is essential self-control and > self-mastery. > > Stacy. ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// /// ZION LIST CHARTER: Please read it at /// /// http://www.zionsbest.com/charter.html /// ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// ==^================================================================ This email was sent to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] EASY UNSUBSCRIBE click here: http://topica.com/u/?aaP9AU.bWix1n.YXJjaGl2 Or send an email to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] TOPICA - Start your own email discussion group.
