Gospel Principles
Unit 7: Perfecting Our Lives
Chapter 31: Honesty
Concept 1: Introduction

"The thirteenth article of faith says, "We believe in being honest.  "The Book of Mormon tells us about a group of people who were "distinguished for their zeal towards God, and also towards men; for they were perfectly ahonest and upright in all things; and they were firm in the faith of Christ, even unto the end." (Alma 27:27).  Because of their honesty, these people were noted by their fellowmen and by God.  It is important to learn what honesty is, how we are tempted to be dishonest, and how we can overcome this temptation.

Alma 27:27  "And they were among the people of Nephi, and also numbered among the people who were of the church of God.  And they were also distinguished for their zeal towards God, and also towards men; for they were perfectly alma/honest and upright in all things; and they were firm in the faith of Christ, even unto the end."

What would a society be like where everyone was perfectly honest?"

Moroni 10:4-5
  "4 And when ye shall receive these things, I would exhort you that ye would ask God, the Eternal Father, in the name of Christ, if these things are not true and if ye shall ask with a sincere heart, with real intent, having faith in Christ, he will manifest the truth of it unto you, by the power of the Holy Ghost.
  5 And by the power of the Holy Ghost ye may know the truth of all things."
