Meekness and lowliness create a state of righteousness—one reflecting charity in its fulness—which leads to reverence for God, which is the precursor to faith and hope. The inevitable blessing of this process is that one is filled with charity, without which man is nothing. It is one eternal round—faith, hope, and charity sustaining and cultivating one another in an inseparable partnership of divine grace analogous to the work of God: “wherefore, the course of the Lord is one eternal round” (1 Nephi 10:19; see also Alma 7:20; 37:12; D&C 3:2; 35:1).
