Our lesson was given by Sandy Maxson today. We discussed two conference talks - President Nelson - "Becoming Exemplary Latter Day Saints" and Elder Ballard - "The Vision of the Redemption of the Dead".
In President Nelson’s closing remarks, he shared warnings with us along with promises that will be ours as we heed the councils received during conference and apply them in our lives. He said – “Brothers and sisters, I thank you for your faith and sustaining efforts. I leave my love and blessing upon you, that you may feast upon the word of the Lord and apply His teachings in your personal lives. I assure you that revelation continues in the Church and will continue until “the purposes of God shall be accomplished, and the Great Jehovah shall say the work is done.”
I bless you with increased faith in Him and in His holy work, with faith and patience to endure your personal challenges in life. I bless you to become exemplary Latter-day Saints. I so bless you and bear my testimony that God lives! Jesus is the Christ! This is His Church. We are His people, in the name of Jesus Christ, amen.”
Elder Ballard taught us from Doctrine and Covenants section 138. He said –“I testify that the vision President Joseph F. Smith received is true. I bear witness that every person can read it and come to know it is true. Those who do not receive this knowledge in this life will surely come to know its truthfulness when everyone will arrive in the spirit world. There, all will love and praise God and the Lord Jesus Christ for the great plan of salvation and the blessing of the promised Resurrection when body and spirit will once again be reunited, never to be separated again.
