Quote "We show by our behavior what we believe. Surely we are standing as witnesses of God when we sustain his living prophets, especially when we know what it means to sustain. We will abide by the direction and counsel of the prophets. We indeed become witnesses when we make this solemn covenant."
~Sister Janette Hales Beckham
Question "What commitments are part of our baptismal covenant? In what ways do you try to keep those commitments?"
The commitments that we make during our baptism include keeping the commandments, and serving the Lord with all our hearts, might, mind and strength. We are promising to stand as a witness of Him at all times, and in all things, and in all places. We are promising to bear one another's burdens, to comfort those that stand in need of comfort, and to mourn with those that mourn.
We should all be striving to follow Jesus Christs' example on this earth...and he did all of those things, and so much more. It is impossible for us to be perfect as He was, but we can look to see how He lived His life, and look at the commandments He has given us to live by, and strive to be better each day than we did the day before.
