Quotes

1. The words “come unto Christ” are an invitation. It is the most important invitation you could ever offer to another person. It is the most important invitation anyone could accept. From the beginning of the Restoration of the gospel in this dispensation, it has been the charge given by Jesus Christ to His representatives. Their charge has been “to warn, expound, exhort, and teach, and invite all to come unto Christ.” - Elder Eyring

2. “When you have faith in Christ, you believe in Him as the Son of God, the Only Begotten of the Father in the Flesh. You accept Him as your Savior and Redeemer and follow His teachings. You believe that your sins can be forgiven through His Atonement. Faith in Him means that you trust Him and are confident that He loves you.

3. “Hope is trust in God’s promises, faith that if we act now, the desired blessings will be fulfilled in the future.”

4. “Charity is having patience with someone who has let us down. It is resisting the impulse to become offended easily. It is accepting weaknesses and shortcomings. It is accepting people as they truly are. It is looking beyond physical appearances to attributes that will not dim through time. It is resisting the impulse to categorize others.” - President Monson.

5. “Virtuous people are clean and pure spiritually. They focus on righteous, uplifting thoughts and put unworthy thoughts that lead to inappropriate actions out of their minds.”

6. D&C 88:118, 131:6, 2nd Nephi 4:15-16

7. “Patience in the capacity to endure delay, trouble, opposition, or suffering without becominging angry, frustrated, or anxious. It is the ability to do God’s will and accept His timing.”

8. “Humility is the willingness to submit to the will of the Lord and to give the Lord the honor for what is accomplished. The opposite of humility in pride. Which means to put greater trust in oneself than God.”

9. “Diligence is steady, consistent, earnest, and energetic effort in doing the Lord’s work. The Lord expects you to work diligently-persistently and with great effort and care. Don’t wait for your leaders to tell you what to do. Pray for guidance and strength.

10. “Obedience is the first law of heaven. It is an act of faith.” “The discipline contained in daily obedience and clean living and wholesome lives builds an armor around you of protection and safety from the temptations that beset you as you proceed through mortality.” - ELder L. Tom Perry.
