Entering Into The Lord's Rest

What does it mean to enter into the Lord's rest?
The Lord's rest seems to be such a peaceful place to be. I think it means staying in the good graces of God. It is so helpful to us as members of the church to have the Holy Ghost with us to whisper what we need to do to be happy. If we provoke God like the ungratefulness of the Egyptian slaves after 40 years in the wilderness, then we will not be worthy to enter into the Lord's rest. If we refuse to obey, or deliberately disobey the commandments, then we will hold err with Heavenly Father, and will not be able to enter into His rest.

Scriptural Solutions to Life's Challenges

Here are some challenges we all face in life and how to overcome them:
Arguing over petty things:
Phillippians 2:1-8
Be likeminded with Christ. Don't argue, and be the servant if the need arises, many problems can be solved by letting go of pride and selfishness and giving of yourself to others. Be humble, be like Christ. Don't complain, and don't murmur.


Finding your own testimony, not relying on others:
Phillippians 2:12-15
Work out our own salvation. That means finding out for ourselves what is right. Let God work in you, and pray earnestly in faith to know the truth. You will know. If you ask, you WILL get an answer. Ask in faith, and gain a testimony for yourself.


Teach an investigator who will be cut off from family if he joins the church:
Phillippians 3:7-16 & 4:13
Losing some very important earthly things is a considerable loss, but it is worth it for the gospel. Christ will reward good works a hundred times over, and He will be on our dise the whole way. Press forward towards Christ in faith, and you will not regret it! You can do anything with the help of Christ.


Angels speak by the power of the Holy Ghost; wherefore, they speak the words of Christ. Wherefore, I said unto you, feast upon the words of Christ; for behold, the words of Christ will tell you all things what ye should do.


You will know what to do by the power of the Holy Ghost. Christ will strengthen you, and you can do all the things you need to. Read the scriptures. Use them in your life. It will be a great comfort to you and a guide to what is right.
