READ
D&C 100
16 For I will raise up unto myself a pure people, that will serve me in righteousness;
D&C 101
3 Yet I will own them, and they shall be mine in that day when I shall come to make up my jewels.
4 Therefore, they must needs be chastened and tried, even as Abraham, who was commanded to offer up his only son.
5 For all those who will not endure chastening, but deny me, cannot be sanctified.
18 They that remain, and are pure in heart, shall return, and come to their inheritances, they and their children, with songs of everlasting joy, to build up the waste places of Zion
Activity
Materials:
2 jars
1 cup of water
2 tbsp dirt
Filter (I used coffee filters that I had to use as a filter for masks. Pieces of old shirts or cloth works well too.)
Process:
Add the water and dirt to one of the jars. Put the filter over the second jar and secure in place with rubber band. Explain, that when we come to earth, we are like this jar, and we need to be sanctified or purified in order to be with Heavenly Father again. We can become purified and sanctified by following the commandments of Jesus Christ and allowing Heavenly Father and Jesus to guide us and by following their commandments, even when it is hard. Have your children think of examples.
Poor the water through the filter. Clean out the jar of mud and place a new filter on that jar. Continue moving the water back and forth between the two jars, replacing the filter each time. When your water is clear. Explain that though the water is clear, it is not pure enough to drink yet.
Poor that water into a small sauce pan, and bring to a boil for about 2 min. Explain that just as boiling the water kills all remaining germs, the Atonement of Jesus Christ kills any impurities in us.
When the water is done boiling, Poor it into a heat resistant dish to cool. When it is cool enough, it will be pure enough to drink.
