Question 7

5 / 5 pts

In one paragraph (75–150 words), describe the path and principles necessary for building and establishing Zion in Enoch’s day (Moses 6–7).

Your Answer:

The principles necessary for building Zion is first, to become of one mind. They must work together in their best efforts to help and support each other. Second, they must strive to become holy people and strive to uphold the commandments given to them by our Heavenly Father. They must live their lives by modeling the attributes of a Celestial Kingdom resident. Third, they must look after the needy and the poor to a point where no one is poor or needy anymore.

 

Question 8

5 / 5 pts

In 1–2 paragraphs (100–200 words), discuss how at least two principles of Zion taught by Elder Christofferson that are similar to the experience of the people of Enoch and Church members living today who charged with the building and establishment of Zion (Moses 6–7).

Your Answer:

Our Church has already started on the path of working together as a unit. I'm so proud of the fact that our LDS food storage has helped so many people in the world who do not  have much. Its not perfect yet but most of us are putting our best efforts together to reach out to anyone in need. I've been involved in some of the volunteer work that our Church members took part in, in feeding the hungry in our country. I remember there was a pile of trash left after prepping the food and one by one, the members came together to clean and take the trash out. By the end of it, the whole area was super clean as if a mountain of trash never existed there before. This was a unity in my eyes and how amazing when the saints come together to work for the betterment of each other. 

As Zion was a place with people that have pleased the Lord with the way they have lived their lives, I believe we as members are doing our parts to come together as a unit as well. I believe we still have a lot to learn but I'm excited to see the efforts we are putting into working together to help each other.
