Taught by Heidi H.
President Joseph Fielding Smith talks about how we, as Latter Day Saints, should always seek out learning and growth. Educational, vocational, and secular knowledge are all important, but the most important knowledge we must obtain in our lives is gospel knowledge. Most importantly knowledge that Jesus is the Christ, and Savior of the world. In order to obtain that ultimate knowledge we must first search the scriptures. They were written for us in these latter days by prophets of old. President Smith teaches that we need to learn what Gods commandments are because we cannot follow them if we do not know what they are. We do this by studying the scriptures.
Beyond study we must learn the truth of the scriptures through the Holy Ghost. We do this by treasuring up the word, which means you not only read and study, but seek in humility and obedience to do the commandments given, and gain inspiration that only the Holy Ghost can provide.
As we endure into eternity. In D&C 50:24 it reads, "That which is of God is light, and he that receiveth light and continueth in God recieveth more light, and that light groweth brighter and brighter until the perfect day."
