Living as Women
of Virtue,”

What Are the Promised Blessings of Living a Life of
Virtue?
D&C 121:45:
“Let virtue
garnish thy thoughts unceasingly; then shall thy confidence wax strong
in the presence of God.”
D&C 25:2:
“If thou art faithful and walk in the paths of
virtue
before me, I will preserve thy life, and thou shalt receive an
inheritance in Zion.”
President James E. Faust:
“The Prophet Joseph … said, ‘If you live up to your privileges, the
angels cannot be restrained from being your associates.’ … Hold your
soul very still, and listen to the whisperings of the Holy Spirit.
Follow the noble, intuitive feelings planted deep within your souls by
Deity in the previous world” (Ensign, May 1998, 97).
Respect for self is the
beginning of virtue in men. That man who knows that he is a child
of God, created in the image of a divine Father and gifted with a
potential for the exercise of great and godlike virtues, will
discipline himself against the sordid, lascivious elements to which
all are exposed. Said Alma to his son Helaman, “Look to God and live.”
(Alma
37:47.)
