Baptism, Our First Covenant, p.63-65
In Moroni 6:1-4, what are the qualifications someone must meet to be baptized? Why are each one of these so important? What does it mean to bring forth fruit meet that they were worthy of it? Why is this so important? We know baptism is a covenant and sacrament is the renewing of that covenant (or promise), so what does it mean to you to come to the sacrament table each week willing to qualify for the partaking of the sacrament? How can you better prepare to partake of this covenant each week?

to be baptized, you need to have come forth bringing "fruit meet that they were worthy of it," a broken heart and a contrite spirit, and you needed to take upon them the name of Christ. These are the things that Moroni said that you needed in order to be baptized
ReplyDeleteand neither of them were received unto baptism if they took upon the name of christ having a determination to serve him in the end
ReplyDeleteContrition and a broken heart help you rely on Heavenly Father so you are willing to follow him. Determination is needed because it is a long road after baptism.
ReplyDeleteOur names are taken so we can continue to help each other fulfill our covenants of Baptism. It takes the good word of God, coming together to build up each other and remind each other of our covenants and partake of the sacrament with continued determination in order to continually fulfill that covenant.
