pam Posted November 20, 2010 Report Share Posted November 20, 2010 Reference Search: Jacob 5:5353 And this will I do that the tree may not perish, that, perhaps, I may preserve unto myself the roots thereof for mine own purpose.Quote for DiscussionMine own purposeThe gathering and preservation of the house of Israel is not simply a means whereby God can favor or reward a portion of his children. Rather, it is the means whereby the Holy One of Israel can make available to all men and women—those naturally of Israel and those who obtain membership by adoption—the peace and joy of righteous family living here and the fullness of eternal life in the world to come, even the continuation of the family unit into eternity (see D&C 132-19-20).Millet & McConkie, Doctrinal Commentary on the BOM, Vol. 2, p. 65 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
