Moroni 7:3 ". . I would speak unto you that are of the church, that are the peaceable followers of Christ, and that have obtained a sufficient hope by which ye can enter into the rest of the Lord, from this time henceforth until ye shall rest with him in heaven."
I am a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
I own the fact that I'm not always peaceable.
I want to be peaceable.
But I don't want to be passive.
This seems a fine line to me.
Are peaceable and passive synonyms?
Jesus Christ is peaceable.
Yet even in his extremity, he was entirely active, present, bold, steadfast, true, intentional.
Never passive.
Always perfectly in control of himself.
Never ever in control of others.
Even when he knew that he could be in control.
Of everything.
Amazing grace!!
I have hope and a desire to be Christlike. Maybe not "sufficient" hope.
Yet.
And I am working on that.
*This chapter tells us how to go about being Christlike -- thinking, saying, and doing what He would think, say and do.
