40 Day General Conference Challenge DAY 36
NAME OF CHRIST:
“May we continually experience the mighty change available to each of us through the virtue of the Word.”
-Mark D. Eddy
QUOTE ABOUT JESUS CHRIST:
“I testify that our Heavenly Father has given us the word because He loves us perfectly and wants each of us to return home to live with Him forever. I testify of ‘the Word … made flesh,’ (John 1:14) even Jesus the Christ, and of His power to save and to redeem us. I know that His virtue flows through the words of His prophets, both past and present.”
-Mark D. Eddy
SCRIPTURE:
“Hearken unto these words and believe in Christ; and if ye believe not in these words believe in Christ. And if ye shall believe in Christ ye will believe in these words, for they are the words of Christ, and he hath given them unto me.”
-2 Nephi 33:10
INSPIRING QUOTE:
“Ultimately, the virtue of the word of God is the Lord Jesus Christ. As we comprehend this more fully, we can make an eternally significant connection between the role of His prophets and the Redeemer Himself. Our love for Him, our desire to draw closer to Him and to abide in His love, will motivate us to try the virtue of the word in our lives—both the virtue that flows from Him as our personal Savior and Redeemer and the virtue that flows from Him through the words of ‘the chosen vessels of the Lord.’”
-Mark D. Eddy
INVITATION TO ACT:
“We will come to discern that, as helpful as other sources may be in our study of the Savior and the words of His prophets, they must never become a replacement for them. We must drink deeply and often directly from the source… I plead with you to experience the virtue of the word of God, particularly through the Book of Mormon, every day of your life.”
-Mark D. Eddy
A PROMISED BLESSING:
“There is virtue in the words of ancient and modern prophets precisely because their words are the Lord’s words. My dear friends, accepting this eternal truth is critical to our spiritual survival in the latter days when, as prophesied, there is ‘a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of the Lord.’ (Amos 8:11)”
-Mark D. Eddy
REFLECTION QUESTION:
- What changes have I noticed in my life as I read the scriptures?
LEARNING STYLE STUDY IDEA:
STEM LEARNERS: Make a study plan to get into the Book of Mormon more each day.
MY THOUGHTS:
There is power in the Book of Mormon–and drink from it directly! This theme was repeated over and over again in General Conference. Find time to be in the Book of Mormon everyday which testifies of The Word–even Jesus Christ.–Erin
