From Grace to Charity By Emily Belle Freeman
From Grace to Charity By Emily Belle Freeman
Details
Have you ever felt the enabling power of grace descending from heaven and settling in your heart and then wondered- what do I do with this?
In those moments when Christ has met you where you are, as you are, has your soul stirred with the desire to extend that acceptance and love to others?
On the last night of his life, Hyrum Smith folded down the corner of a page in the Book of Mormon and marked one verse: "I prayed unto the Lord that he would give unto the Gentiles grace, that they might have charity" (Ether 12:36).
What does grace have to do with charity? How does receiving one lead to gaining the other? Scripture tells us that charity is a love that causes us to lay down our lives for someone. A greater love. A love that we must pray to be filled with. The pure love of Christ. What if charity is the outward expression of our inward understanding of grace? It is meeting others where they are, as they are, and then lifting them. It is the way of Christ.
