Have you ever wondered what your name means. Why did your parent spend time deciding what to name you?
Does your name have a special meaning?
In Genesis 17:1-8 we learn that the Lord changed Abram's name to Abraham. "Abram" means exalted father and "Abraham" means father of a multitude.
This change served as an additional testimony of the Lord's promise to Abraham. He told Abraham that he would be the father of nations.
Today the Lord does not change our given names. Instead through baptism we take upon us the name of Jesus Christ. For this reason we are known as "Christians" or "Saints." A saint is a purified follower of Christ.
During sacrament we receive the name of the Lord (Doctrine and Covenants 20:77, 79).
We discussed making a mental checklist before taking the sacrament to decide if we are worthy enough to partake of the sacrament. You can decide what is on this list.
We discussed five desires you may have and Abraham's desire. He desired to be righteous.
Compare your desires to Abrahams.
We discussed what may it difficult for Abraham.
Please make sure to read your scriptures for tomorrow.
