Live Up to Your Privileges

From Section 25

1. The Lord reminded Emma of her place in His plan.
2. In her season of mourning the Lord gave her purpose.
3. The Lord outlined a process of inward sanctification that would prepare her for exhalation.

“Live up to your privileges.”

Partaking of the sacrament is a weekly reminder of Him working in you. Wearing the garment is a daily reminder of Him working in you.

Through revelation, Emma would learn about the inward sanctification and covenant connection that would increase the ability of those priesthood ordinances to work in her life.

First, the Lord reminded Emma of her place in His plan, including who she was and whose she was—a daughter in His kingdom. She was invited to “walk in the paths of virtue,” a path that included ordinances that would unlock God’s power if Emma held on to her covenants.

Second, in her season of deep mourning, the Lord gave her purpose. Emma didn’t just have a front-row seat to the Restoration; she was an essential participant in the work taking place.…

Last, the Lord outlined a process of inward sanctification that would prepare Emma for exaltation.…

If we read section 25 carefully, we discover an important progression taking place. Emma would go from being a daughter in the kingdom to “elect lady” to queen.

I want to study section 25 to better understand about the process of sanctification it illuminates.
