Love the Lord

The suggested worship outline for November 4, includes Moroni 10:29 as a “Scripture of Love.” Here are some additional options. All have been re-rendered, to a greater or lesser extent, into more contemporary language.

***********************************

2 Nephi 13:29

Press forward

with steadfastness in Christ,

having a perfect brightness of hope,

and a love of God

and of all people.

***********************************

Mosiah 2:19-23 (excerpts)

If you have known God’s goodness

and tasted his love,

always remember his goodness to you,

calling on the Lord’s name daily.

If you do this,

you will always rejoice

and be filled with the love of God;

and you will grow

in the knowledge of what is just and true.

***********************************

Alma 10:28-29

Be led by the Holy Spirit,

having faith in the Lord

and the love of God always in your hearts.

***********************************

4 Nephi 1:17, 20

Because of the love of God,

which lived in the people’s hearts,

there was no contention in the land.

They were one,

the children of Christ;

and they shared God’s kingdom together.

***********************************

Moroni 7:11

The things which come from God

invite and entice* people

to always do good.

Therefore,

everything that invites and entices* people

to do good,

and to love God,

and to serve God,

is inspired by God.
