40 Day General Conference Challenge DAY 17
TALK: “Conversion to the Will of God” by Quentin L. Cook
NAMES OF CHRIST: Savior, Christ Jesus
“Conversion to the Savior changes a natural man into a sanctified, born again, purified person—a new creature in Christ Jesus.”
-Quentin L. Cook
QUOTE ABOUT JESUS CHRIST:
“The Savior graciously invites us to be His voice and His hands. The love of the Savior will be our guiding light.”
–Quentin L. Cook
SCRIPTURE:
“Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.”
-2 Corinthians 5:17
INSPIRING QUOTE:
“Over a lifetime of service and spiritual experiences, I have come to understand that true conversion is the result of the conscious acceptance of the will of God and that we can be guided in our actions by the Holy Ghost.”
–Quentin L. Cook
INVITATION TO ACT:
“The Lord asks each one of us to share His gospel in word and deed. Our personal conversion includes the responsibility to share the gospel of Jesus Christ with the world.”
–Quentin L. Cook
PROMISED BLESSING:
“The blessings of sharing the gospel include increasing our conversion to the will of God and letting God prevail in our lives. We bless others to experience a ‘mighty change’ of heart. There is truly eternal joy in helping to bring souls unto Christ. Laboring for the conversion of oneself and others is the noble task.”
-Quentin L. Cook
REFLECTION QUESTION:
- How do I know that Joseph Smith was an instrument in the Lord’s hands?
LEARNING STYLE STUDY IDEA:
BOOK LEARNERS: Read this talk paying close attention to the references and clarifications in the footnotes.
MY THOUGHTS:
When did you gain your testimony of Joseph Smith? I remember being in the MTC (Missionary Training Center) the second day of my mission. Our teacher challenged our class to pray until we had a sure testimony of Joseph Smith and not to get off our knees until our prayer was answered.
I remember kneeing and praying for what seemed like forever. I prayed and waited and prayed and waited and nothing was happening. After quite a long time, the thought came into my mind, “Erin, why are you asking me about Joseph Smith? You already know. Why are you asking me about something you already know?”
I did know Joseph Smith was a prophet and had known it for most of my life. I went to bed that night with great peace and a conviction in my heart knowing Joseph Smith was a prophet, even if I couldn’t pinpoint the exact moment I knew.
