"But whoso looketh into the Perfect law of Liberty, and continueth therein. . . shall be blessed in his deed" 1
True principles, once understood and rightly comprehended, often have a quality of clear pure simplicity. Yet, sometimes, the more you comprehend, the more depth you perceive the doctrine to hold. Like gazing into a deep pool of crystal clear water you may be excited and astounded to learn that the doctrine is many, many times deeper than-at first-perceived. While looking into this pool of Freedom you may discover depths "never attained to previously nor ever before had thought of." 2 Such is the doctrine of freedom.
To fully perceive the width and depth that this pool of freedom holds, we must have the "eyes of our understanding opened" 3 and our minds "enlightened" 4 by the Spirit of the Lord. Because "where the Spirit of the Lord is there is Liberty." 5
This blogspot is an attempt to explain Freedom's relationship to the Gospel of Jesus Christ. More specifically, it shows how God's law, both revealed and natural, operates to develop, promote, and protect freedom.
2. Joseph Smith, Joseph Smith History 1:74.
