Lesson:

With so many new converts, people were confused how to practice their new faith. Joseph Smith received a revelation that gave some clear instruction to the early Saints. In this revelation, the Ten Commandments were explained and they were reminded to keep them. They were taught to remember and take care of the poor. The Lord explained a plan for the Saints to share what they had to take care of each other, especially those who had to leave so much behind to gather in Ohio. He reminds them to live together in love. The Lord asks them to have faith to hear and keep the law He has given.

Quote:

“The holy scriptures and the spoken word of the living prophets give emphasis to the fundamental principles and doctrines of the gospel. The reason we return to these foundational principles, to the pure doctrines, is because they are the gateway to truths of profound meaning. They are the door to experiences of sublime importance that would otherwise be beyond our capacity to comprehend. These simple, basic principles are the key to living in harmony with God and man. They are the keys to opening the windows of heaven. They lead us to the peace, joy, and understanding that Heavenly Father has promised to His children who hear and obey Him.” Dieter F. Uchtdorf
