“Covenants with God Strengthen, Protect, and Prepare Us for Eternal Glory” by Jean B. Bingham

40 Day General Conference Challenge DAY 22

TALK: “Covenants With God Strengthen, Protect, and Prepare Us for Eternal Glory” by Jean B. Bingham

NAMES OF CHRIST: Jesus Christ, Anchor, Deliverer

“With Jesus Christ as our anchor and perfect partner, we are assured of His loving strength in trial and of eventual deliverance through Him.”

-Jean B. Bingham

QUOTE ABOUT JESUS CHRIST:

 “Keeping our covenants allows the Savior’s power to cleanse us as we learn through experience—whether it is a minor misjudgment or a major failing. Our Redeemer is there to catch us when we fall if we turn to Him.”

-Jean B. Bingham

SCRIPTURE:

Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.”

-Matthew 11:28-30

INSPIRING QUOTE:

As women who make and keep covenants with God, we share spiritual bonds that help us meet the challenges of our day and prepare us for the Second Coming of Jesus Christ. And keeping those covenants allows us to be women of influence who can draw others to the Savior.”

-Jean B. Bingham

INVITATION TO ACT:

Dear sisters, above all else, stay on the covenant path to Jesus Christ! ..Making and keeping temple covenants is available to every worthy member of the Church…Study and ask trusted sources for greater understanding of the sacred significance of the covenants you have made. Go to the temple as often as you can and listen to the Spirit.”

-Jean B. Bingham

PROMISED BLESSING:

I testify that as we choose to make covenants with Heavenly Father and access the power of the Savior to keep them, we will be blessed with more happiness in this life than we can now imagine and a glorious eternal life to come.”

-Jean B. Bingham

REFLECTION QUESTION:

  • What is one thing I can do to live “higher and holier”?

LEARNING STYLE STUDY IDEA:

STEM LEARNERS: Choose a color and mark all the times you find the word “Covenant”. Choose another color to highlight all blessings that come from keeping covenants.

MY THOUGHTS:

 I love this talk on covenants. I was blessed earlier this year to teach about the blessings of keeping covenants in nine different settings. Since then, my ears perk up every time I hear others talking about covenants. 

 

This was Sister Jean Bingham’s final talk at General Conference as our General Relief Society President. She mentioned covenants 34 times in her talk. I love how she shared so many blessings that come to us as we keep covenants.

 

Several years ago, my family and I were asked to participate in a special meeting for the “Children and Youth Program” with President Ballard, Sister Bingham, Sister Jones, Sister Cordon, and Brother Owens. I was almost sitting knee to knee with Sister Bingham for almost two hours.

 

Sister Bingham just radiated with love–I felt it every time she looked at me. As she spoke, I could feel her love for our Savior and her love for the members of the church around the world. What a special experience that was for me!
