The Lord Is Hastening His Work
Excerpts
There is clear evidence that faith in Jesus Christ is increasing in our day. In The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, there has been a remarkable increase in converts and convert participation. …
… As the Lord hastens His work, we should love, nurture, and serve those who accept His gospel. …
To those of you who are new or returning to the faith, there are challenges you may face. Be patient with yourself. …
Receiving the ordinances and covenants and living the commandments are essential. Focus on the covenants necessary for exaltation. …
Learning the pure doctrine of Jesus Christ is a lifelong pursuit, both in understanding doctrine and living a Christlike life. Essential covenants provide a framework which we describe as the covenant path. …
If you set a goal of worthily receiving each covenant necessary for exaltation, you will be on the path that leads to the celestial kingdom. The temple and ordinances of the temple must be our focus. …
All of us feel inadequate as we strive to become like Jesus Christ. His Atonement allows us to repent daily as we fall short. …
Following the Savior and His doctrine and teachings has never been easy in a world that is constantly in commotion. … Fortunately, living prophets provide the guidance we specifically need for our day. …
… I bear my sure and certain witness that Jesus Christ lives and because of His Atonement, we can be one with Him.
