Things I recently read

Today I was reading "Mine Errand from the Lord Selections from the Sermons and Writings of Boyd K. Packer". He is an apostle of Jesus Christ. Here are some quotes about the light of Christ that were interesting to me. "The First Presidency has written, "There is a universally diffused essence which is the light and the life of the world, "Which lighteth every man that cometh into the world," which proceedeth forth from the presence of God throughout the imensity of space, the light and power of which God bestows in different degrees to "them that ask him," according to their faith and obedience." "Regardless of whether this inner light , this knowledge of right and wrong, is called the Light of Christ, moral sense, or conscience, it can direct us to moderate our actions---unless, that is, we subdue it or silence it."
"The more we know about the Light of Christ, the more we will understand about life and the more we will have a deep love for all mankind. We will be better teachers and missionaries and parents, and better men and women and children. We will have deeper regard for our brothers and sisters in the Church and for those who do not believe and have not yet had conferred upon them the gift of the Holy Ghost."
"There is a "true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world." This Light of Christ is the ingredient which binds the whole human familly together and forms something of a universal conscience. There is nothing that is right that we cannot achieve if our individual and our national conscience is clear."
"The Light of Christ existed in you before you were born, an it will be with you every moment that you live and will not perish when the mortal part of you has turned to dust. Every man, woman, and child of every nation, creed, or color-everyone, no matter where they live or what they believe or what they do- has within them the imperishable Light of Christ. In this respect all men are created equally"
"If we understand the reality of the Light of Christ in everyone we see and in every meeting we attend and within ourselves, and understand the great challenge that we have-the surroundings in which we live, the danger that sometimes besets us-we will have courage and inspiration beyond that which we have known heretofore. And it must be so! And it will be so! All of this is a dimension of gospel truth that too few understand."
