What potential we have! As Jodie pointed out, made possible by our Savior.

Only Jesus Christ was able to fulfill the law and we must accept what He did for us (died for our sins and rose again so that we might live). That means letting Christ reign in our lives, having a relationship with him and letting the world know who God really is, a loving and forgiving God that wishes everyone to be saved.

At least I know I'll have a LOT of work to do! …it means that we can aspire to be perfect, but unlike Christ, it won’t all get done here in mortality….which is good because I would hate to be bored in heaven.
