Quorum of the Twelve
We must follow the Savior, Jesus Christ, remembering him in all that we do and say. In all acts of charity given one to another, we do such things in remembrance of him.
"Therefore, for all who come unto Christ and take his name upon them through baptism, there is a great responsibility to be worthy to participate weekly in the Sacrament in order that they may renew their baptismal covenant and take his name upon them; renew their promise to keep all of his commandments; remember him; know him and comprehend his greatness."
Jesus taught how to progress beyond the behavioral Law of Moses when he gave the Beatitudes and the Lord's Prayer. He taught a law of love and forgiveness.
"How do we know if we have progressed from the 'eye for an eye' mentality and accepted his gospel to forgive and love one another? How we treat our family members, our neighbors, business associates and all we meet will reveal if we have truly taken his name upon us and do always remember him."
