“The Love of God”

Joseph F. McConkie, Robert L. Millet

Those filled with charity, the pure love of Christ (see Moroni 7:47), seek to build and lift people and lighten the burdens of others. They are other-centered and other-focused. Having largely risen above the pettiness of attainments and station and public applause, they glory in the accomplishments of their fellows and mourn with those who have cause to mourn (see Teachings, pp. 147, 174, 240).

See a more detailed discussion of charity in Moroni 7:44-48.
