Children are constantly learning. Help them see that Heavenly Father will help them learn about Him if they obey His commandments.

Read Doctrine and Covenants 63:23 to the children, and ask them to listen for what God will give us if we keep the commandments. Help them understand that “mysteries” are things that God can teach us more about, like how to become more like Jesus Christ.

. . . JESUS MADE RESURRECTION POSSIBLE . . .
I will be resurrected.
Either now or in the future, the children you teach will be comforted to know that because of the Savior’s Atonement, all who have died will be resurrected one day.
-
Show the children a picture of one of your loved ones who has died, and share a story about that person. Read Doctrine and Covenants 63:49 to the children, and testify that one day that person will “rise from the dead” and never die again. Ask the children if they know someone who has died. Testify that we will all be resurrected because of Jesus Christ.
-
Show pictures of the burial and Resurrection of the Savior (see Gospel Art Book, nos. 58, 59). Invite them to talk about what is happening in the pictures. Invite the children to lie down as you tell about Jesus’s burial and to stand up as you tell about His Resurrection. Read Doctrine and Covenants 63:49, and bear your testimony that we will all rise from the dead one day just like Jesus did.

. . . RESPECT SACRED THINGS . . .
I should treat sacred things with reverence.
We live in a day when sacred things are often disregarded or even mocked. You can help the children develop a sense of reverence for sacred things.
-
Read to the children from Doctrine and Covenants 63:64: “That which cometh from above is sacred.” Ask them to think of an item that is special to them, such as a favorite toy or book. How do they take care of it and protect it? Help them think of things that are special—or sacred—to Heavenly Father. How should we speak of these things? How should we treat them?

Sing with the children a song about reverence, such as “Reverently, Quietly” (Children’s Songbook, 26). Help them think of ways they can show reverence for sacred things.
Doctrine and Covenants 63:58–64
I should not take the name of God in vain.
The children you teach may hear others using the name of God in irreverent and profane ways. How can you help them understand that the names of Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ “must be spoken with care”? (Doctrine and Covenants 63:64).

Read to the children from Doctrine and Covenants 63:58: “This is a day of warning.” Ask them to talk about warnings they hear from their parents, teachers, and Church leaders. Then help them find warnings from the Lord in verses 58–64. What are some appropriate ways to “use the name of the Lord”? (verse 62).
-
Review together “Language” in For the Strength of Youth (pages 20–21). Ask the children to make small posters reminding them of something they learned about how to use the names of Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ.
-
Sing together a song about reverence, such as “Reverence Is Love” (Children’s Songbook, 31). How can we make sure that we are reverent when we speak about Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ?

. . . CTR & GOD WILL TEACH ME . . .
As I keep the commandments, God will teach me His truths.
The “mysteries of [God’s] kingdom” are available only to those who keep God’s commandments. This is why they are mysteries to many people. This principle will help the children as they seek truth.
-
Write on the board If I keep the commandments, then, and ask the children to write on the board different ways to finish the sentence.
DOWNLOAD Scooping Up Ice Cream Blessings build-a-cone (HERE or below)Ask them to read Doctrine and Covenants 63:23 and find something they can add to their list. Show the children a glass of water, and ask them how the truths of the gospel are like water to us.

. . . CHASTE THOUGHTS & ACTIONS . . .
Doctrine and Covenants 63:13–23
Chastity means keeping my thoughts and actions pure.
Most people would acknowledge that adultery is wrong. But in Doctrine and Covenants 63:13–19, the Savior made it clear that lustful thoughts also have grave spiritual consequences. “Why is lust such a deadly sin?” Elder Jeffrey R. Holland asked. “Well, in addition to the completely Spirit-destroying impact it has upon our souls, I think it is a sin because it defiles the highest and holiest relationship God gives us in mortality—the love that a man and a woman have for each other and the desire that couple has to bring children into a family intended to be forever” (“Place No More for the Enemy of My Soul,” Ensign or Liahona, May 2010, 44).
What consequences does the Lord mention in Doctrine and Covenants 63:13–19 that will come to those who do not repent of unchaste thoughts and actions? Note the blessings the Savior promises in verses 20 and 23 to those who are faithful. What blessings have come into your life from obeying the law of chastity? How does the Savior help you remain or become pure?
