34. “..they were a very indolent people, many
of whom did worship idols, and the curse
of God had fallen upon them because of
the traditions of their fathers;
notwithstanding the promises of the Lord
were extended unto them on the
conditions of repentance. -- Alma 17:15

35. “It is easy to see how the sins of parents can
have a profound effect upon their children. In
the Ten Commandments, the Lord himself
referred to the transmittal of the “iniquity of
the fathers upon their children unto the third
and fourth generation of them that hate me.”
(Ex. 20:5.) This dramatically illustrates the
difficulty of breaking the tradition syndrome.”
James T Duke, Ensign Magazine

36. Abraham

37. Terah
Terah was a wicked idolatrous priest. He and many of his ancestors
were polytheistic (believed in many Gods).

38. 9. And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee above
measure, and make thy name great among all nations, and thou shalt
be a blessing unto thy seed after thee, that in their hands they shall
bear this ministry and Priesthood unto all nations;
10. And I will bless them through thy name; for as many as receive
this Gospel shall be called after thy name, and shall be accounted thy
seed, and shall rise up and bless thee, as their father;
11. And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse them that curse
thee; and in thee (that is, in thy Priesthood) and in thy seed (that is,
thy Priesthood), for I give unto thee a promise that this right shall
continue in thee, and in thy seed after thee (that is to say, the literal
seed, or the seed of the body) shall all the families of the earth be
blessed, even with the blessings of the Gospel, which are the
blessings of salvation, even of life eternal. Abraham 2:9-11

40. “Yea, come unto Christ, and be perfected in
him, and deny yourselves of all ungodliness; and
if ye shall deny yourselves of all ungodliness,
and love God with all your might, mind and
strength, then is his grace sufficient for you, that
by his grace ye may be perfect in Christ; and if
by the grace of God ye are perfect in Christ, ye
can in nowise deny the power of God.” - Moroni
10:32

41. “Mortal perfection can be achieved as we try to
perform every duty, keep every law, and strive to
be as perfect in our sphere as our Heavenly
Father is in his. If we do the best we can, the
Lord will bless us according to our deeds and the
desires of our hearts.” - Russell M. Nelson,
October 1995 General Conference
