Putting It All Together
As we study the scriptures Elder Dallin H. Oaks of
the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles said we must repeatedly read the scriptures “Another
reason for repeated reading of the scriptures is that many of the prophecies
and doctrinal passages in the scriptures have multiple meanings. As we
repeatedly read the scriptures more meanings of the scriptures comes to mind
which helps us to have more insight about the gospel. He also said “the
principle that scriptures can have multiple meanings also helps us appreciate
the fact that a single scripture may be given to us in more than one set of
words”.
As we read and desire to share the gospel, what was shared
will produce a powerful desire for righteousness in their lives as well as
ours. “I hope no person we approach with an invitation to hear the message of
the restored gospel feels that we are acting out of any reason other than a
genuine love for them and an unselfish desire to share something we know to be
precious” Elder Dallin H Oaks.
