Is the Gospel Unchanging?

Is The Gospel Unchanging?

A while ago, I had invited our local missionaries over for dinner. I was hoping to make dessert but didn’t know what to make. Then I remembered I had a favorite brownie recipe. Typically, when I get in a hurry, I fail to read instructions clearly as in this case. I threw everything together and baked it only to have brownies that had a weird consistency and didn’t quite bake properly. But it was my favorite recipe? How could I mess this up when I used the recipe so many times before?

The recipe itself didn’t change but how I applied it certainly did. The next time I made the brownies, I followed the instructions in proper order and ended up with a beautiful result.

The eternal truths of the gospel could be compared to my brownie recipe. Those principles or instructions do not change but sometimes the procedures around their application do.

We have seen changes throughout the history of the Church; from what to drink for the sacrament in its early years to allowing twelve-years-olds limited use temple recommends, there have been changes. I find that I keep the gospel and the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints separate. The gospel is unchanging and perfect. The Church is inspired yet when any organization is run by mortals, we will run into flaws.

We have seen changes from visiting teaching to ministering as one of the Lord’s purposes for His Church is to care for saints. We have seen shortened meeting times, changes to the youth programs and working toward reaching out to others of different beliefs in love and kindness. Though the principles do not change, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints adapts to its surroundings in a way as to bring light and love yet stand as a beacon to the world which points to the path of happiness.

Elder L. Tom Perry said, “Surely there could not be any doctrine more strongly expressed in the scriptures than the Lord’s unchanging commandments and their connection to our happiness and well-being as individuals, as families, and as a society. There are moral absolutes. Disobedience to the Lord’s commandments will always deprive us of His blessings. These things do not change.” 1

I love knowing that I live virtuously as the righteous women of scripture. I can have courage in the face of destruction like Captain Moroni and be obedient to the holy laws of God like the stripling warriors. I have often wondered what if I met Captain Moroni on his land in his time? I would recognize him by the principles he lived by. If I met any of the ancient prophets or righteous peoples, I would recognize them, and they would recognize me by actions even if we didn’t speak the same language.

Elder Perry also said, “The world changes constantly and dramatically, but God, His commandments, and promised blessings do not change. They are immutable and unchanging.”1  We can trust in the Savior and the principles of the gospel to lead us home as we are obedient to eternal laws.

    It all began with a seemingly promising investment. I had invested $413,000 through a crypto investment company introduced to me by an acquaintance on Telegram. The scheme was portrayed as highly lucrative, with enticing assurances of impressive returns. Unfortunately, this investment turned out to be nothing more than a sophisticated scam. The initial allure of high returns and a seemingly transparent process made me confident in my decision. However, everything took a disastrous turn when I attempted to access and withdraw my funds. To my dismay, I discovered that I was unable to retrieve my capital. The dashboard of the investment platform displayed my investment amount, but attempts to withdraw it were futile. Despite following the instructions given to me meticulously, the funds remained locked. This predicament was not just frustrating but devastating. The inability to access my funds pushed me to the brink of financial ruin, leading me towards bankruptcy. The emotional and financial strain was immense, and I found myself on the verge of giving up. My initial trust and optimism had turned into despair and helplessness. In my search for solutions, I came across an article on Medium discussing the recovery of funds from such scams. The article featured a recovery support team known as COINSRECOVERYWORLDWIDE. Although skeptical, I decided to reach out to them as a last resort.

Not only did COINSRECOVERYWORLDWIDE restore my financial standing, but they also helped me regain a sense of security and trust.

  • Reviews and comments can be helpful most times. permit me to share that, in the first week of March 2024, I was convinced to invest in a fake Altcoin cryptocurrency platform through someone I connected with on Telegram , which I did but unfortunately after investing my money I discovered I could not withdraw or access my account on the fake platform. Lucky for me, I came across a review on funds recovery and I contacted Coinsrecoveryworldwide Service, and through their help and support I was able to recover my money. Losing money trading crypto can be frustrating but I am happy today that my funds are recovered and I wish to share with you their contacts as i know i am not alone on this boat, nobody deserves to be in such situation.

  • My name is Rachel Frye and I want to give this testimony in respect of Dr. Odunga who made me win $2 Million Dollars in the Lottery by matching the 5 numbers for me. I am happy to be out of financial debt and be able to help my family in this seasonal period of fun and cheer. I contacted Dr. Odunga through Whats-App (+2348167159012) when I told him to help me win the Mega Millions and He told me that it would be spiritually checked if I will win the Lottery. When he informed me that I will not be able to win the Jackpot but I will win a huge amount in the lottery I was not completely sad but had great faith in him. I live in Freeland, Saginaw County, Michigan and I would say it was pretty hard to send him the money for the spell before he gave me the winning numbers to play. He sent me the numbers and I played. The next morning after the drawing, I matched the five white balls in the Aug. 4 drawing to win $1 million: 11-30-45-52-56. Thanks to the Megaplier X2, my prize was multiplied to $2 million. Thank You Dr Odunga for this wonderful experience with you. You too can contact Dr. Odunga at his Whats-App +2348167159012 or Email: odungaspelltemple@gmail.com
