CLICK TO READ  Jacob 1:14-192:1

What we learned...
"If we are supposed to be a teacher of some sort and we don't do our job, then the sins of the people that we don't teach will be upon our heads (v. 19)." (Kenyon)

"You can't go into the kingdom of heaven if you haven't repented of all your sins (v. 19). " (Shaylee)

"Just because you're born into the church doesn't necessarily mean that you're righteous. Your actions determine that (v. 14)." (Brandon)

"Jacob received his errand in the temple (v. 17)." (Jaron)

"An errand is a responsibility." (Maycee)

"Over time if we're not doing what we're supposed to be doing - being righteous - then our hearts will harden (v. 15)."  (Mom)

"Like what Jacob said about his responsibilities, the Lord said that parents will be held responsible for the sins of their children if they do not teach them the gospel. We teach you by studying the scriptures together, having family home evenings, going to church, serving others, and being a good example. But mom and my motivation for doing all this is not out of fear for being held accountable for your sins but out of love because we want you to have a fulness of joy and receive eternal life and be with our family for eternity."  (Dad)
