Being Honest in Business

Jesus talks a little about business in Luke 16. He basically comments that it's wise to be a good businessman through a story. Then he makes a general statement about doing well in general:

10 He that is ^afaithful in that which is least is faithful also in much: and he that is unjust in the least is unjust also in much.

11 If therefore ye have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will commit to your ^atrust the true ^briches?

This is one of the best reasons we have "are you honest in your dealings with your fellow man?" and "is there anything involving conduct with another family member that is not in harmony with the teachings of the gospel?" in the temple recommend interview. These are two basic questions that most people outside of the church should answer well themselves. If these basic elements of a good life are not being lived, how could a person be ready for the true riches promised in the temple?

When we talk about the gospel being simple, this is one example. It is critical to be good.

Have a great day.
