As I read the words in 1 Nephi 20, which I have been reading over and over the past couple days, I have felt that I should break these verses up for the many messages that I hear.
I love the words of Isaiah because his words transcend every era of time. Though Lehi's group benefited from his message so do we as the Lord speaks through ISAIAH to us as well.
He says:
Listen, those of you who have been baptized
And have taken Jesus Christ's name upon you with a promise, yet you are not keeping your promise to be righteous. As you do not those things you promised, you live not in truth.
You call yourself holy, but you do not do those things that would make you holy.
I have given you the scriptures; I have prophesied and shown miracles in them, yet thou still do not believe.
There are many times in my life that my husband whom has not taken upon himself promises to be a witness if Christ behaves in a more righteous way than myself, yet I have promised to be righteous and I am not supposed to just be called a saint or holy; but I am supposed to be that way. I am blessed as I am reminded that I have to be a better example at all times in order that I may lead with patience showing my children and those that I deeply love how witnesses of Christ should behave.
We have great duties as members of Jesus Christs church that come along with the great blessings. We must remember our actions show how deep our faith is and how much it is that we love our God.
