It's a lot easier to do something when we have seen it demonstrated by someone else.
One of the benefits of studying the scriptures is that we can study the lives of great men and women.
Jesus Christ is undoubtedly one that we can read the most about and whose example is most comprehensively documented.
Simple reading and studying his life is one half of the blessing, the rest and probably most lasting part of the blessing is when we start applying the principles demonstrated therein in our own lives.
As we aspire to live better and be better we actually become better people over time.
The rough areas of our character are smoothed of and we become more well rounded.
Jesus taught:
"That which ye have seen me do even that shall ye do."
—3 Nephi 27:21
No one else has provided a better pattern for living than Jesus Christ. As we seek to emulate Him, we can improve our own lives and the lives of people around us.
