Today's Favorite Verse: Alma 16:16
"And there was no inequality among them; the Lord did pour out his Spirit on all the face of the land to prepare the minds of the children of men, or to prepare their hearts to receive the word which should be taught among them at the time of his coming—"

This made me think about the First Presidency message President Nelson gave in the latest Liahona. Which was a call of unity, which would not come if there was inequality among us.

Unity = the state of being united or joined as a whole.
Equality = the state of being equal, especially in status, rights, and opportunities.

I felt this was such an important message that hopefully will be expanded upon in this coming general conference. Since President Nelson became the prophet we have been progressing up various tiers. Each step has been putrefying us to become the Zion people we need to be. A call of unity is that next step.

"...true followers of Jesus Christ yearn for peace and actively seek to build a different kind of society—one that is founded on the teachings of Jesus Christ. To this end, the Lord has charged us to “be one; and if ye are not one ye are not mine”. Indeed, unity is a hallmark of the true Church of Jesus Christ.
If we are to be the Lord’s people and be unified, not only must we treat one another as equals, but we must also truly view one another as equals and feel in our hearts that we are equal—equal before God, of equal worth and equal potential.
"First and foremost, each of us is a child of God. Second, as a member of the Church, each of us is a child of the covenant. And third, each of us is a disciple of Jesus Christ. I urge all of us not to allow any other identifier to “displace, replace, or take priority over these three enduring designations.
"God has invited all to come unto Him. There is room for everyone. We may differ in our cultures, politics, ethnicities, tastes, and many other ways. But as we unite in Jesus Christ, such differences fade in their significance and are superseded by our overriding desire to be one—so that we may be His.”
(President Russell M. Nelson, "A Pattern for Unity in Jesus Christ", Oct 2024 Liahona)
