Great FHE tonight

In Matthew 5:48 it states: "Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect." And it's cross reference for "perfect" is Doctrine and Covenants 67:13 it says: "Ye are not able to abide the presence of God now, neither the ministering of angels; wherefore, continue in patience until ye are perfected."

Perfection is not something we are going to reach in our mortal life. The Lord wants us to live our lives so we can return to Him and live with Him in the Celestial Kingdom. That is where we reach our state of perfection. What a great Family Home Evening we had tonight discussing this topic with the boys.
