Real Joy

This I do that I might establish my gospel, that there may not be co much contention; yea, Satan doth stir up the hearts of the people to contention concerning the points of my doctrine; and in these things they do err, for they do wrest the scriptures and do not understand them. D&C 10:63

The Lord said that the publication of the Book of Mormon is “to bring to light the true points of my doctrine” (D&C 10:62), fulfilling his promise to the ancient prophets by including in it “all those parts of my gospel which my holy prophets, yea, an also my disciples, desired in their prayers should come forth unto this people” (D&C 10:46). Then, as now, true disciples of Christ desire that all may receive the glad tidings of the gospel and come into the fold of Christ. To do so we must be grounded in gospel truth and humble enough to be taught by the authorized servants of the Master. If we genuinely follow the Lord and his apostles and prophets, we will stay firmly on the gospel path and not tossed to and for with every wind of doctrine (Ephesians 4:11-14). Understanding and following the true doctrine of Christ are essential to living without contention and feeling real joy. (Robert L. Millet and Lloyd D. Newell.
