The Oath and Covenant of the Priesthood is a beautiful
principle. It teaches us that if a man is valiant
in keeping his baptismal and temple covenants, the Lord promises (or makes an
oath) that he will be rewarded with His greatest gifts: eternal life and all that He
has. This means so much to the Lord that
He allows himself to be bound by the oath, similar to other oaths and
principles he promises. The Book of
Mormon reveals an example of the Lord allowing Himself to be bound by His
own promises -- in this case, an oath regarding the principle of faith.
Ether 12:10 Behold it was by faith that they of old were called after
the holy order of God.
21 And after the
brother of Jared had beheld the finger of the Lord, because of the promise which the brother of Jared had
obtained by faith, the Lord could not withhold anything from his sight;
wherefore he showed him all things, for he could no longer be kept without the veil.
FEEDBACK: HOW DOES THIS MAKE YOU FEEL ABOUT FAITH, THE LORD’S OATHS, AND HIS WILLINGNESS TO BE BOUND BY THEM?
