Ways to “Come Unto Christ”

The invitation “come unto Christ” is an invitation to become like Him. Here are some examples of ways I can become like Him:

• Accept or seek out every good thing that comes from Heavenly Father
• Don’t accept or seek out things that are “evil gifts”
• Don’t touch things that are not clean (spiritually speaking)
• Wake up
• Be alert
• Keep temple covenants
• Do what I can to strengthen the stake and ward I am in
• Enlarge the borders of my capacities, friendships, love
• Repent and turn to Christ to make up for where I cannot make up, and eventually become perfect with His help
• Deny myself of ungodliness; spoil myself with godliness
• Love Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ with every corner of my mind
• Love Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ by using my physical and spiritual strength to do good things
• Love Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ with the power that comes from being able to be the only one to make choices for my life

When I come to Christ completely, I then qualify for the grace He offers those who do. His grace is enough that I can be perfect—not alone, but “in Him.” By leaving evil and loving God, I meet His standard for receiving His reward: helping me where I have fallen short and thereby making me perfect.
