Yesterday in class we talked about how charity is sometimes thought of in the same way as the Atonement. It seems like a inanimate object that is a bit untouchable. Something that is just there. However, we talked about how, in actuality, Christ is the embodiment of charity. He is made of charity, because charity is the pure love of Christ.
When charity is acting upon us to do something, it is actually Christ's love acting in our lives. We feel His love work within us and we choose to go out and show this love to someone else.
If you take verse 45 in chapter 7 of Moroni and replace the word charity with Christ it gives us another perfect understanding of how Christ really is. Just try it.
When I think of the word "charity," I am reminded of the phrase: "Charity never faileth." Because it doesn't. Here, again we can replace charity with Christ. "Christ never faileth" is also very true.
If we apply these things in our lives we will have a better understanding of the power of charity.
