mikbone Posted May 14, 2013 Report Share Posted May 14, 2013 If you had to pick what you think are the most important virtues what would they be. Im my opinion, the most important are humility and work ethic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seminarysnoozer Posted May 14, 2013 Report Share Posted May 14, 2013 Empathy. That is what is required to love your neighbor as your self. That is the virtue that allowed our Savior to know our sins and pay for them. And, I believe, that is the method by which glory can be given vicariously. Just like when your own child does well in school, there is a joy that is had more than if another child did well, that feeling of joy is through the level of empathy one has for their own children. Eternal joy is obtained in a similar way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikbone Posted May 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 15, 2013 Without work ethic (diligence) what is love, integrity or compassion? I have known many people who view themselves as virtuous in ideal (love, compassion, etc), but without the action to back it up it isn't really functional. All hat and no cattle. Show me a man with godly humility and work ethic and I see the making of something great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pam Posted May 15, 2013 Report Share Posted May 15, 2013 Well you did ask us what were OUR ideas of important virtues. Are you wanting to debate the work ethic that you chose because no one else mentioned it? I agree it's important but you did ask our most important virtue.

Based on Moroni 7: 42-47I just was about to.. Without charity you are nothing. Without Charity you cannot enter into the celestial kingdomFaith, Hope, And Charity is all one needs. The rest fall into place.Faith leads to Charity, Hope comes from living faith and gaining charity. Also Charity increases by gaining hope.... Than you will at some point gain a perfect faith.

ElectofGod Posted May 15, 2013 Report Share Posted May 15, 2013 Charity is different than Love too. It involves love but there is more too it. Its the pure love of Christ. Though Love is a sealing force of heaven. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anddenex Posted May 15, 2013 Report Share Posted May 15, 2013 PC is correct, Charity is the only virtue which states, if you have not you are nothing. A person may have faith, hope, patience, etc..., but without charity they are nothing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skalenfehl Posted May 15, 2013 Report Share Posted May 15, 2013 Charity. Without charity, I am nothing. If I am found with charity at the last day, it shall be well with me. Edit: looks like it's already been mentioned, in which case, I agree! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
