Eternal Truths Series August - Zion
Zion
is our goal: Our desire is to build Zion on earth to provide a righteous place
for our Savior’s return. Zion will receive Him and His great work will be
carried forward.
How can we build Zion? By using the atonement, because this is its purpose; to help us become
at-one with God and with others, building unity in our core relationships and then beyond. The
Godhead is our example of complete unity. When God’s love dwells in our hearts, we are living
a Zion life. In the atonement, Christ became at-one with us and knows how to help us become
of one heart and one mind with others.
