Episode notes
Weakness Is Not The Same As Sin
- Weakness is a condition of mortality distinct from sin and often lacks rebellion.
- Jesus Christ offers a different dimension of grace to address weakness beyond justifying and sanctifying grace.
Atonement Includes Enabling Power
- Elder Bednar teaches that the Atonement includes enabling power, not just redeeming power.
- Many mistakenly try to progress from good to better by grit instead of relying on Christ's enabling grace.
Pray Specifically For Strength
- Pray specifically for strength to do the thing you cannot do rather than only asking God to change your circumstances.
- Requesting targeted enabling opens you to revelation and practical help to act differently in your situation.
