CALLING AND ELECTION

Calling and Election is a doctrine of the priesthood that is misunderstood by many. While we are invited to make our Calling and Election sure, we are confused at how this process plays out in our individual lives. First, we must understand what "calling and election" even means. As we learn about the principles involved, the laws that must be obeyed, and the refining process that's required, the way forward is a lot more clear. Understanding the doctrine of calling and election is one of divine guidance and heavenly help.  The journey to having one's calling and election is not out of reach and can be attained to in mortality. In fact the path forward to this supernal blessing lies within the our covenantal relationships with God the Father and His Son, Jesus Christ. This episode is Part 1 of a 3 part series that explores this less often studied eternal doctrine.
