A revelation which sought to prepare the Saints for the more comprehensive law of Christ disclosed the underlying principle of that law. The Lord admonished: “Let every man esteem his brother as himself, and practice virtue and holiness before me.” He then stressed: “And again I say unto you, let every man esteem his brother as himself.” Of the central idea of consecration, Joseph Smith said: “Now for a man to consecrate his property, wife and children, to the Lord, is nothing more nor less than to feed the hungry, clothe the naked, visit the widow and fatherless, the sick and afflicted, and do all he can to administer to their relief and their afflictions, and for him and his house to serve the Lord.” On these principles social justice was to be established among the Saints.Share
