But charity is the pure love of Christ, and it endureth forever; and whoso is found possessed of it at the last day, it shall be well with him.
In this context, charity is not an action or an attitude, it is the pure love Christ has for each of us. His love is eternal. We must open ourselves to it and allow it to possess us and fill every fiber of our beings. When we are possessed by Christ's love, it will influence us in profound ways that will change our very natures. We won't have to worry about overcoming temptations and keeping the commandments and magnifying our callings, for those things will come naturally to us through Christ's grace. Living the gospel will not be a trial and a challenge, for it will be simply who we are. It will indeed be well with us at the last day, for we will be at peace with God and with ourselves.
