Why Do We Serve?
Elder Dallin H. Oaks
Of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles
We should serve not for reward, duty or fear, but out of the pure love of Christ.
“Service is an imperative for those who worship Jesus Christ.”
“These first two reasons for service are selfish”
“Service out of fear of punishment is a lesser motive at best.”
“God loveth a cheerful giver.”
“Charity is the pure love of Christ.”
Scriptures
Mosiah 2:17; Matt. 25:40; Moro. 7:47
