Is the Gospel Unchanging?

Is The Gospel Unchanging?

A while ago, I had invited our local missionaries over for dinner. I was hoping to make dessert but didn’t know what to make. Then I remembered I had a favorite brownie recipe. Typically, when I get in a hurry, I fail to read instructions clearly as in this case. I threw everything together and baked it only to have brownies that had a weird consistency and didn’t quite bake properly. But it was my favorite recipe? How could I mess this up when I used the recipe so many times before?

The recipe itself didn’t change but how I applied it certainly did. The next time I made the brownies, I followed the instructions in proper order and ended up with a beautiful result.

The eternal truths of the gospel could be compared to my brownie recipe. Those principles or instructions do not change but sometimes the procedures around their application do.

We have seen changes throughout the history of the Church; from what to drink for the sacrament in its early years to allowing twelve-years-olds limited use temple recommends, there have been changes. I find that I keep the gospel and the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints separate. The gospel is unchanging and perfect. The Church is inspired yet when any organization is run by mortals, we will run into flaws.

We have seen changes from visiting teaching to ministering as one of the Lord’s purposes for His Church is to care for saints. We have seen shortened meeting times, changes to the youth programs and working toward reaching out to others of different beliefs in love and kindness. Though the principles do not change, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints adapts to its surroundings in a way as to bring light and love yet stand as a beacon to the world which points to the path of happiness.

Elder L. Tom Perry said, “Surely there could not be any doctrine more strongly expressed in the scriptures than the Lord’s unchanging commandments and their connection to our happiness and well-being as individuals, as families, and as a society. There are moral absolutes. Disobedience to the Lord’s commandments will always deprive us of His blessings. These things do not change.” 1

I love knowing that I live virtuously as the righteous women of scripture. I can have courage in the face of destruction like Captain Moroni and be obedient to the holy laws of God like the stripling warriors. I have often wondered what if I met Captain Moroni on his land in his time? I would recognize him by the principles he lived by. If I met any of the ancient prophets or righteous peoples, I would recognize them, and they would recognize me by actions even if we didn’t speak the same language.

Elder Perry also said, “The world changes constantly and dramatically, but God, His commandments, and promised blessings do not change. They are immutable and unchanging.”1  We can trust in the Savior and the principles of the gospel to lead us home as we are obedient to eternal laws.

  • I was able to reclaim my lost Bitcoin assets worth of $480,99 which i had lost to the scam company known as Capitalix fx a scam company pretending to be an investment platform which alot of people including myself have lost their funds to, sadly not all would be fortunate enough to retrieve back their funds like I did but if you’re reading this today then you’re already a step closer towards regaining your lost digital assets, Mr. James successfully retrieved back my funds in less than of 48hours after I sought for their help to get back my funds. This experience has taught me the importance of carrying out my due diligence before embracing any financial opportunity presented to me and while risk taking may be a part of the journey, some risks are not worth taking and never again will I involve myself with any online financial investment. It’s only right that we seek for external intervention and support of a higher knowledge system when it comes to digital assets recovery, Get in contact today with the team to get started on Email: jamesmckaywizard at gmail dot com or what’sapp +31657446248.

  • Y’ALL BE CAREFUL WITH CRYPTO TRADERS, GOT SCAMMED BUT RECOVERED MY FUNDS BACK!!!

    Please everyone should be careful and stop being deceived by all these brokers and account managers, they scammed me over $279,000 of my investment capital, they kept on requesting for extra funds before a withdrawal request can be accepted and processed, in the end, I lost all my money. All efforts to reach out to their customer support desk had declined, I found it very hard to move on. God so kind I followed a broadcast that teaches on how scammed victims can recover their fund, I contacted MORRISGRAY830@GMAIL.
