"In order to bestow His blessings on His children in a just and
equitable manner, the Lord has instituted laws that govern those
blessings that He wants all of us to enjoy....
"The Lord knew from the beginning that we, His children, would be faced
with temporal and spiritual adversities during this mortal life. Indeed,
these adversities are a vital part of this mortal probation. He knew
that we would stand in need of His blessings throughout our lives in
order to not only survive our individual trials, but also to enjoy a
degree of comfort and even prosperity.
"Thus the law of tithing, which was instituted from the beginning. We
know from the scriptures that Abraham was blessed through his obedience
to this law, and we now have that same law as it was reiterated by the
Savior during His visit to the inhabitants of the American continent
almost 2,000 years ago:
"'Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in
my house; and prove me now herewith, saith the Lord of Hosts, if I will
not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing that
there shall not be room enough to receive it.' (3
Nephi 24:10–12; see also
Malachi 3:10–12.)"

Law of Tithing," Ensign, November 2006

Making the covenant to
be a disciple of Christ is the beginning of a lifelong process, and
the path is not always easy. As we repent of our sins and strive to do
what He would have us do and serve our fellowmen as He would serve
them, we will inevitably become more like Him. Becoming like Him and
being one with Him is the ultimate goal and objective—and essentially
the very definition of true discipleship. - Daniel L. Johnson, "Becoming
a True Disciple," Ensign (CR) November 2012
