Accumulation Quote by Roy B. Blizzard
““not really mean what it might appear to on the surface. Ben Hai Hai was not trying to correct 20th century theology. What he said is pregnant with meaning. The more one labors in acquiring knowledge and the knowledge of God, the more one labors in practicing the commandments of law, the greater one’s reward is going to be. Accumulation, or the acquiring of knowledge does not come without suffering. It is not easy. It is difficult. It only comes at a great cost – and you have to be willing to pay it. The greater price you pay, the more you will be able to do; thus, the greater your reward will be. Notice again the emphasis upon doing.””
