Discipleship
"Discipleship is the pursuit of holiness and happiness. It is the path to our best and happiest self."
—Dieter F. Uchtdorf, "Of Regrets and Resolutions", Liahona and Ensign, October 2012
Topics: Discipleship"'If ye love me, keep my commandments,' Jesus said. So we have neighbors to bless, children to protect, the poor to lift up, and the truth to defend. We have wrongs to make right, truths to share, and good to do. In short, we have a life of devoted discipleship to give in demonstrating our love of the Lord."
—Jeffrey R. Holland, "The First Great Commandment", Liahona and Ensign, November 2012
Topics: Service, Discipleship, Charity"We are created in the image of our heavenly parents; we are God's spirit children. Therefore, we have a vast capacity for love—it is part of our spiritual heritage. What and how we love not only defines us as individuals; it also defines us as a church. Love is the defining characteristic of a disciple of Christ."
—Dieter F. Uchtdorf, "The Love of God", Liahona and Ensign, November 2009
Topics: Love, Discipleship"Wherever you now find yourself on the road of discipleship, you are on the right road, the road toward eternal life. Together we can lift and strengthen one another in the great and important days ahead. Whatever the difficulties confronting us, the weaknesses confining us, or the impossibilities surrounding us, let us have faith in the Son of God, who declared, 'All things are possible to him that believeth.'"
—Elder Neil L. Andersen, "What Thinks Christ of Me?", General Conference, Apr. 2012
Topics: Discipleship"I testify that as you love Him, trust Him, believe Him, and follow Him, you will feel His love and approval. As you ask, 'What thinks Christ of me?' you will know that you are His disciple; you are His friend. By His grace He will do for you what you cannot do for yourself."
—Elder Neil L. Andersen, "What Thinks Christ of Me?", General Conference, Apr. 2012
Topics: Faith, Jesus Christ, Discipleship"President Monson has described our day as moving away ‘from that which is spiritual … [with] the winds of change [swirling] around us and the moral fiber of society [continuing] to disintegrate before our very eyes.’ It is a time of growing disbelief and disregard for Christ and His teachings. In this turbulent environment, we rejoice in being disciples of Jesus Christ. We see the Lord’s hand all around us. Our destination is beautifully set before us. ‘This is life eternal,’ Jesus prayed, ‘that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.’ Being a disciple in these days of destiny will be a badge of honor throughout the eternities."
