We\u2019ll look at what it means to climb the ladder of exaltation one step at a time, how light and truth fill our lives as we keep the commandments, and why setting our own homes in order really matters. I hope this episode reminds you that you are a child of God with divine potential and that little by little, you can receive of His fulness. From the manual:  \u201cWhen you climb up a ladder,\u201d Joseph Smith taught, \u201cyou must begin at the bottom, and ascend step by step, until you arrive at the top; and so it is with the principles of the gospel\u2014you must begin with the first, and go on until you learn all the principles of exaltation\u201d (Teachings of Presidents of the Church: Joseph Smith [2007], 268). Sometimes that ladder of exaltation seems impossibly high , but we were born to climb to the top. Whatever limitations we may see in ourselves, Heavenly Father and His Son see something glorious in us, something godlike. Just as Jesus Christ \u201cwas in the beginning with the Father,\u201d so \u201cye were also\u201d (Doctrine and Covenants 93:21, 23). Just as He \u201ccontinued from grace to grace, until he received a fulness,\u201d so also \u201cyou shall receive grace for grace\u201d (verses 13, 20). The restored gospel teaches us about the true nature of God, and so it also teaches us about ourselves and what we can become. Despite the efforts of the \u201cwicked one\u201d (verse 39)\u2014and despite what you feel you may lack\u2014you are a literal child of God with the potential to \u201cin due time receive of his fulness\u201d (verse 19). https:\/\/youtu.be\/3mzj-gBeAZg?si=2JS0EzsTV4gm4bkB https:\/\/youtu.be\/JBX-InLxObI?si=F-5cI1YIb6x3UeAD https:\/\/youtu.be\/tMRm1NfpQYQ?si=FECvAJzW-_fBCuAy https:\/\/youtu.be\/VZljNTyemcU?si=LL_Bz98ayO9-pNN1 Check out my book, "Feasting on the Words of Christ," where I share a simple, five-step method for receiving answers to your prayers through the scriptures. You're really going to love it!
