A Plan of Freedom

The gospel is a plan of freedom
Where appetites are in check
Our behavior becomes wholesome

As we let Christ's light direct


The gospel, said President Gordon B. Hinckley (1910–2008), “is a plan of freedom that gives discipline to appetite and direction to behavior.”1 This plan puts us on a path of increasing knowledge and capacity, increasing grace and light. It is the freedom to become what you can and ought to be. But for your freedom to be complete, you must be willing to give away all your sins (see Alma 22:18), your willfulness, your cherished but unsound habits, perhaps even some good things that interfere with what God sees is essential for you.
—D. Todd Christofferson, "You Are Free"
