I’ve still been thinking a lot about this whole “Mormon” thing. We’re studying in James in my New Testament class, and i found a segment that talked about that exact thing.
“Some of the Savior’s most severe denunciations were aimed at hypocrites- those who profess t do not. As members of the lord’s true church our professions are lofty. We are “called to be saints.” (Romans 1:7.) We should be the light of the world– a city set on a hill so that men will see our good works and glorify God (Matthew 5:14, 16) Sometimes the opposite is the case: we are recognized by what we don’t do rather than by what we do. The revelations indicate that the Saints will become such a positive force for good that those in the world will be constrained to acknowledge the power of God in us (D&C 105:32) This can come only as we do as we hear. “Not everyone that saith unto me Lord, Lord shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my father which is in heaven.” (Matthew 7:21)
