“As an intensive care pediatrician I know if one
inappropriately rejects lifesaving treatment, it can lead needlessly to
physical death. Similarly, when we rebel against God, we reject our only help
and hope, who is Jesus Christ, which leads to spiritual death. None of us can
do this on our own power. None of us will ever be good enough, save through the
merits and mercy of Jesus Christ, but because God respects our agency, we also
cannot be saved without our trying. We can have hope in Christ because He wants
to help and change us. In fact, He is already helping you. Just pause and
reflect and recognize His help in your life. I witness to you that if you will
really try and will not rationalize or rebel—repenting often and pleading for
the grace, or help, of Christ—you positively are going to be good enough.” - Elder
J. Devn Cornish
