In this week's Come, Follow Me readings, these verses in section 1 ("the Lord's preface"), identify purposes of the Doctrine and Covenants and show that wherever we are in our personal journey in mortality, the Doctrine and Covenants can bring us closer to the Savior.
Of these verses in D&C 1, President Ezra Taft Benson said, "the Lord relates how people’s lives had been changed through the revelations and lists the blessings they enjoy, blessings that readers of the Doctrine and Covenants may receive today...."
24 Behold, I am God and have spoken it; these commandments are of me, and were given unto my servants in their weakness, after the manner of their language, that they might come to understanding.
25 And inasmuch as they erred it might be made known;
26 And inasmuch as they sought wisdom they might be instructed;
27 And inasmuch as they sinned they might be chastened, that they might repent;
28 And inasmuch as they were humble they might be made strong, and blessed from on high, and receive knowledge from time to time.
