That When He Shall Appear, We Shall Be Like Him

We had an awesome combined lesson by Marshall Tapp today on becoming like the Savior. Moroni 7:48 says,

Wherefore, my beloved brethren, pray unto the Father with all the energy of heart, that ye may be filled with this love, which he hath bestowed upon all who are true followers of his Son, Jesus Christ; that ye may become the sons of God; that when he shall appear we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is; that we may have this hope; that we may be purified even as he is pure.

Each and everyone one of us has the opportunity to become like the Savior; no matter our past. As long as we are doing our best Christ will help us. He doesn't just make up the difference, He makes all the difference.

Elder Larry R Lawrence of the Seventy gave a talk in October 2015 called What Lack I Yet? that can help us on our path to become like the Savior. He said,

The journey of discipleship is not an easy one. It has been called a “course of steady improvement.” As we travel along that strait and narrow path, the Spirit continually challenges us to be better and to climb higher. The Holy Ghost makes an ideal traveling companion. If we are humble and teachable, He will take us by the hand and lead us home.

However, we need to ask the Lord for directions along the way. We have to ask some difficult questions, like “What do I need to change?” “How can I improve?” “What weakness needs strengthening?”

Brother Tapp challenged us to pray to know what we can change that will bring us closer to the Savior. 

Will you take the challenge??
