Jesus paid the price for every sin. You may have felt that your sins are too serious or that you have made the same mistake too many times. But no matter how much we have sinned, we can always repent and be forgiven.

Repentance is a chance to become better. God will be patient with you as you work to overcome bad habits and addictions and make real changes in your life. This change is possible through Jesus Christ and His sacrifice. No matter how long it takes, it’s worth it.

Ultimately, our works alone cannot save us; we will always fall short. Only Jesus can bridge the gap and offer salvation. But we accept His grace by following Him. Ephesians 2:8–9 says:

“For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: not of works, lest any man should boast.”

Other scriptures elaborate:

“For we know that it is by grace that we are saved, after all we can do” (2 Nephi 25:23).

“Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone” (James 2:17).

You can accept His grace and gain salvation. He asks you to come unto Him, repent, and follow His divine example. He is waiting at the door, but you must “knock, and it shall be opened unto you” (Matthew 7:7).

No, missionary visits are free for everyone. Jesus Christ invites all to come unto Him “without money and without price” (Isaiah 55:1). Missionaries actually pay to see you, covering their own costs to come on a mission. Local Church leaders and class instructors don’t get paid either.

Church service times vary from congregation to congregation. However, you can always count on one main worship service for everyone, followed by classes for children, youth, and adults.

The service for everyone is called “sacrament meeting.” This meeting consists of songs, prayers, and sermons (or “talks”) given by different members of the congregation every week. But the most important part of the meeting is when we take the sacrament (which is similar to Communion) to remember the Savior.
