There is much discussion going on in the news that deals with right versus wrong, truth versus error, legal versus illegal. I have spent many an hour listening to dialogues that seem to go round and round endlessly, but always leading to nowhere. Typically, a personal bias is evident in these discussions. It is almost as if our media and our politicians have concluded that truth, law, and "what is right" are relative terms that are subject to how well your point is argued. Such was the case in many of the generational cycles in The Book of Mormon. In some instances, even the Law of Moses was argued as being a standard that could or could not be altered. But with the Savior’s appearance, he clarified this principle: He who makes the law can cancel or change the law.
3 Nephi 15:4 Behold, I say unto you that the law is fulfilled that was given unto Moses.
5 Behold, I am he that gave the law, and I am he who covenanted with my people Israel; therefore, the law in me is fulfilled, for I have come to fulfil the law; therefore it hath an end.
LESSON LEARNED: Endless strife over upholding or altering laws is a fruitless pursuit. Laws are as strong as the authority in which they were created, and for Spiritual laws, that is the Lord. He may therefore fulfill or alter His laws to meet the changing needs of His children.
FEEDBACK: WHAT HAS BEEN YOUR EXPERIENCE WITH THIS?
