What is YOUR duty?

It's late. But, I am learning so much that I had to share it with someone (any readers) or something (the digital world if it never gets read).

Have you ever thought about what it would be like to meet the Savior? Sometimes feels overwhelming to think about! But, know this, the Lord is waiting to redeem Zion.

And guess what! "Our wickedness or righteousness can either impede or accelerate His work" (Doctrine and Covenants Student Manual). So, how can we prepare to establish Zion? One of the ways is the Lord wants us to know our duty more perfectly.

I then thought, well, what IS our duty? I followed the footnote to the Topical Guide, to Doctrine and Covenants 20:68-69. Verse 69 is so cool! I'm really writing this down so I can remember this insight:

And the members shall manifest before the church, and also before the elders, by a godly walk and conversation, that they are worthy of it, that there may be works and faith agreeable to the holy scriptures--walking in holiness before the Lord.

THIS is our duty!
