The Spoken Word

Passages drawn from the sermons and published works that carry this theme forward.

    Brethren, you that have the principles of life in you, be sure you are gathering around you kindred principles, that will endure to all eternity.

  2. 1975·LeGrand Richards·Apostle
    Then he told him about the rise and fall of the kingdoms of this world until the latter days (and we live in the latter days), when the God of heaven would “set up a kingdom, which shall never be destroyed: and the kingdom shall not be left to other people.” ( Dan. 2:44 .)

    On one of those rare occasions when His very voice was heard, the Father testified, “Yea, the words of my Beloved are true and faithful. He that endureth to the end, the same shall be saved” ( 2 Ne. 31:15 ). Of all that the Father might have said, He stressed endurance. Why?
    “Endure It Well” — cojc
  5. 1997·Henry B. Eyring·Apostle
    The Lord went on to describe those who would be nourished by that simple doctrine and so endure, those who would inherit the celestial kingdom, as those who were childlike. It takes a childlike heart to feel the promptings of the Spirit, to surrender to those commands, and to obey. That is what it takes to be nourished by the good word of God.
    “Feed My Lambs” — cojc
  6. 2001·Gordon B. Hinckley·Prophet
    The Winter Quarters Temple property adjoins the burial ground of many who gave their lives for this cause which they regarded as more precious than life itself. Their journey to the valley of the Great Salt Lake is an epic without parallel. The suffering they endured, the sacrifices they made became the cost of what they believed.
    The Miracle of Faith — cojc
