“Save It Be Those Which Are Most Bitter”

Joseph F. McConkie, Robert L. Millet
The Lord’s legal administrators on earth work patiently in assisting the members of the Church to gain that vision and that commitment which will keep them in a godly walk and conversation, a life befitting membership in the Church of the Lamb (see D&C 20:69). On the road to perfection the Saints make mistakes-they sin and they stray from the paths of righteousness. Most of them, however, are eager to repent and improve their conduct, to live in such a way that they might enjoy the ratifying and comforting approval of the Holy Ghost.
