True Religion-James in the New Testament


 "This may be interpreted as meaning that a person who is religious is thoughtful to the unfortunate, and has an inner spirit that prompts to deeds of kindness and to the leading of a blameless life; who is just, truthful; who does not, as Paul says, think more highly of himself than he ought to think; who is affectionate, patient in tribulation, diligent, cheerful, fervent in spirit, hospitable, merciful; and who abhors evil and cleaves to that which is good. The possession of such a spirit and feeling is a true sign that a person is naturally religious." (President Joseph F. Smith, Gospel Doctrine, p121)

“The world today speaks a great deal about love, 
and it is sought for by many. 
But the pure love of Christ differs greatly from what the world thinks of love. 
Charity never seeks selfish gratification. 
The pure love of Christ seeks only the eternal growth and joy of others.” 
Ezra Taft Benson
