“The Lord commands: ‘Hold up your light that it may shine
unto the world. Behold I am the light which ye shall hold up—that which ye have
seen me do. I have commanded that ye should come unto me, that ye might feel
and see; even so shall ye do unto the world; and whosoever breaketh this
commandment suffereth himself to be led into temptation.’ Choosing to not hold
up the gospel light moves us to the shadows, where we are susceptible to
temptation. Importantly, the converse is true: choosing to hold up the gospel
light brings us more fully into that light and the protection it provides
against temptation. What a tremendous blessing in today’s world! Joy. Hope.
Sustaining power from God. Protection from temptation. Healing. All of
these—and more (including forgiveness of sins)—distill upon us from heaven as
we share the gospel.” – Elder Marcus B. Nash
