Student Choice Activity Week 5 Unit 1

Choice 3-Works of Righteousness

Paul concluded his epistle to the Hebrews with some brief teachings and statements of counsel. Read Hebrews 13 and find statements about the following questions:

1.How should we treat strangers and those "in bonds"?

13:2-3- we should treat strangers and those that are in bonds like we would everyone else and even more kind then we would our own friends. We should be bound with them and helping them suffer through their adversity and help bring them up in their times of trial

2. How is marriage looked upon?

13:4- Marriage is honorable but those that are whoremongers and adulterers will be judged by God.

3.What warnings are given about covetousness?

13:5-to be content with the things that we have because God will never leave or forsake us.

4. What is "the same yesterday, and today and forever"?

13:8- Jesus Chrsi is the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever.

5. How are we sanctified?

13:12- We are sanctified through Christ's blood, which he suffered without the gate.

6. How do we respond to those who rule over us?

13: 17, 24- to obey them that rule over you and submit yourselves because they watch for our souls and also to salute them that are over us.

7. Who did Paul ask the people to pray for?

13:18- Paul asked the people to pray for him and the apostles that they would have a good conscience and in all things be willing to live honestly.

This was a really interesting chapter for me to look more in-depth to! I really greatly enjoyed reading this chapter of scripture over again and seeing how many great works of righteousness that Paul did in this chapter and that he asks us to do and live up to. He doesn't just talk about the basics of the gospel that we need to obey he goes even deeper and talks about some of the things that may be more difficult for people such as coveting and how to be sanctified and how we need to act and feel about those that rule over us. These are all very important messages that every Latter Day Saint should know in some way and be willing to follow.
