President Livingston
Quoting from The Most American Religion (article in The Atlantic by McKay Coppins) President Nelson believed that when he is judged by God he won’t be judged on his medical and scientific accomplishments or even on the growth of the church under his watch. He expects to be judged based on his faith and how he treated people.
The most important label we should assign either to ourselves or anyone else is “child of God.”
The Savior did not need the atonement. We did.
“Who is my neighbor?” It is whoever we encounter in any capacity.
One of the lessons of the good Samaritan may be to look outside of “us” to find the examples that we should follow.
To treat people like it neighbor we will sometimes need to give up our rights or desires in favor of what is good for someone else.
He applied this to mask wearing for a current example.
President DeMille
From The Count of Monte Christo “I don’t believe in God.” “It doesn’t matter if you believe in God, He believes in you.”
I need to read that book.
