"SERVICE Mosiah 2: 17 And behold, I tell you these things that ye may learn wisdom; that ye may learn that when ye are in the service of your fellow beings ye are only in the service of your God. Matthew 25:40, 45 40 And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me. 45 Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me. [emphasis added] Luke 6:31 And as ye would that men should do to you, do ye also to them likewise. Do you see a pattern here? This notion that when we do something for, or to, others we are doing the same to God is not a new doctrine found in just the Book of Mormon. Both of the other scriptures are statements made by Jesus during his mortal ministry. We cannot separate our attitudes toward our fellow man from our attitudes toward our God, for they are one and the same. What we do to one, we do to the other. How we treat one, we treat the other. What Christ has given us in these three verses, and what King Benjamin was trying to demonstrate to his people, is that how we treat others is of a celestial concern. We are all responsible for each other."
