“Come Unto Christ and Be Perfected in Him”

George Reynolds, Janne M. Sjodahl

Take upon you the Name of Christ, and by obedience to His commands "be perfected in Him." Follow not any evil inclinations of the flesh, but "Love God with all your might, mind, and strength." Then, in His atoning blood-He doing for us that which we could not do for ourselves- we are made perfect in Him, if we keep the commandments He has given us. Our sins are therein forgiven, and we become perfect in Christ. We stand spotless before His Judgment Seat at the Last Day, and with the knowledge therein imparted, we "Can in nowise deny the Power of God."
