Priesthood
Doctrine & Covenants 107
When you have questions about the priesthood, this is the section to turn to. Just a couple of quick summaries:
We're taught some of the fruits or gifts of the Spirit in verse 30 - righteousness, holiness, humility, meekness, patience, faith, virtue, knowledge, temperance, godliness, kindness and charity.
This section also teaches a bit about the patriarchal order and that God's plan includes fathers passing blessings on to their children.
It ends with the reminder to work hard and be diligent. Priesthood means service. Service means work, but what a glorious work it is.
