Agree

This is another topic that has interesting and less obvious scriptures that cover a range of concepts. The idea behind "agree" is pretty much the same in all the scriptures, that two or more people or ideas are aligned, but how this concept is used is where the diversity comes from.

For example, in Matthew 5:25 the Savior is using "agree" to give a practical commandment that also has spiritual implications:

25 Agree with thine adversary quickly, whiles thou art in the way with him; lest at any time the adversary deliver thee to the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the officer, and thou be cast into prison.

Following this command can not only keep us out of trouble, but it also helps us develop peacemaker characteristics.

Even though most of the verses seemed not to have a theme, I noticed that two of them had to do with standing as a witness. Mark 14:56 speaks of people trying to prove something that was false but their witnesses did not agree. In the end their argument was thrown out. Why I believe this is interesting is because of the contrast it shows to 1 John 5:8:

8 And there are three that bear witness in earth, the Spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these three agree in one.

There is truth out there and one way to recognize it is to see if the arguments or parts agree with each. I have heard some people say that when they found the LDS church it was like they had pieces of a puzzle that finally fell into place - they finally agreed with each other. That is how I feel about the gospel as well. There are parts of it that do not make the most sense to me but the parts that I do understand do not contradict each other. In all the chaos that life seems to give us, I find comfort in knowing that there is order and strength in the gospel.
