“God does not have a list of favorites to which we must hope our names will someday be added. He does not limit ‘the chosen’ to a restricted few. Instead, our hearts, our desires, our honoring of sacred gospel covenants and ordinances, our obedience to the commandments, and, most importantly, the Savior’s redeeming grace determine whether we are counted as one of God’s chosen.” -Elder David A. Bednar (General Conference Oct. 2022)

Such a good thought. No one is on the outside looking in. On the flip side, whatever good you’ve done in the past doesn’t make you God’s favorite!

Yes, and that's an important thing to point out. We can be "dearly beloved" and "highly favoured," but unlike typical mortal favouritism, God looks on the inward and not the outward and God offers this special relationship to everyone, all we need to do is seek it.

@magic_honey regardless, they are favored. People dislike the truth and try to use mental gymnastics around it. Like those memes of Jesus saying, I never said it would be easy only worth it. When the truth is he literally said His yoke is easy. May be people should just start believing Jesus and the in His word choice.

@@Moore-s5p KZbin deleted my reply. Consider providing an opportunity to become chosen by exercising Faith (As laid out in Alma 32) with something that's been expressed in scripture. What might be a relevant scripture that would work here?

1 Nephi 1:20 "But behold, I, Nephi, will show unto you that the tender mercies of the Lord are over all those whom he hath chosen, because of their faith... " Also D&C 121 "Behold, there are many called, but few are chosen. And why are they not chosen? 35 Because their hearts are set so much upon the things of this world, and aspire to the honors of men, that they do not learn this one lesson- 36 That the rights of the priesthood are inseparably connected with the powers of heaven, and that the powers of heaven cannot be controlled nor handled only upon the principles of righteousness. " Gotta have Faith and have your heart in the right place. Good news is that He'll work with you with a principle like a " stepping stone". "What if personal revelation *could* work like a Q&A with the Lord, like the format in D&C 77?", you try it and find that it works (sure, you get chewed out a lot, but yore learning), then you go from there.

I agree with this. I love the gospel, but I'm not a fan of church culture, especially the judgmental stuff going on. In my personal experience, it's more of an issue in Idaho/Utah. I served my mission in NYC, and members were much more accepting of people from all kinds of different backgrounds and cultures. We could bring someone to sacrament meeting who had tattoos and smelled like marijuana, and we never had to worry about people staring or shielding their children's eyes. Can't say the same about members where I grew up. I don't want to imply that members in Idaho/Utah ought to be ashamed, as most probably aren't like that. But the truth is that they tend to be more conservative and slower to accept people who don't fit into tradition.
