3 Nephi 27-4 Nephi | October 19-25 Lesson 41—October 18 “There Could Not Be a Happier People” #names #namemeaning #conversion #testimony #TheChurchofJesusChristofLatterdaySaints #Zion If you could change your name, what would you change it to and why? Why are names so powerful and important? President Russell M. Nelson recently promised that if you make the correction to say you’re a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and not a Mormon and not LDS, that God will pour down His power upon you. This correction isn’t a minor inconvenience. It is a true command of the Lord. In 3 Nephi 30 verses 1-2, we learn what a testimony is based on. This two-verse testimony pleads with us to come unto Christ and be baptized. What’s your two-verse testimony? In the first part of 4 Nephi, we get a beautiful description of what Zion is/should be. Zion is people choosing to grab heaven and bring it to Earth. While there will be no more “-ites” that doesn’t mean there won’t be diversity. Zion will be diverse, but we will be one in Christ, moving forward with one accord. We will lean into the paradoxes and the fears of vulnerability, and we will embrace our differences rather than try to erase them. Are you more Zion or less Zion? What is heaven to you, and is your heaven expansive? Are you creating heaven now or are you waiting for it to come to you?
