Christ Is Risen; Faith in Him Will Move Mountains
Excerpts
Faith in Jesus Christ is the foundation of all belief and the conduit of divine power. …
Everything good in life—every potential blessing of eternal significance—begins with faith. Allowing God to prevail in our lives begins with faith that He is willing to guide us. …
My dear brothers and sisters, my call to you this Easter morning is to start today to increase your faith. Through your faith, Jesus Christ will increase your ability to move the mountains in your life. …
Your mountains may be loneliness, doubt, illness, or other personal problems. Your mountains will vary, and yet the answer to each of your challenges is to increase your faith. …
… May I offer five suggestions to help you develop that faith and trust.
First, study. …
Second, choose to believe in Jesus Christ. …
Third, act in faith. …
Fourth, partake of sacred ordinances worthily. …
And fifth, ask your Heavenly Father, in the name of Jesus Christ, for help. …
Faith in Jesus Christ is the greatest power available to us in this life. All things are possible to them that believe [see Mark 9:23].
Your growing faith in Him will move mountains—not the mountains of rock that beautify the earth but the mountains of misery in your lives. Your flourishing faith will help you turn challenges into unparalleled growth and opportunity.
On this Easter Sunday, with my deep feelings of love and gratitude, I declare my witness that Jesus Christ is indeed risen. He is risen to lead His Church. He is risen to bless the lives of all of God’s children, wherever they live. With faith in Him, we can move the mountains in our lives.
