“As we strive to build faith in the Savior, we may not fully
comprehend God’s love for us, and we may obey His laws out of a sense of
obligation. Guilt may even become our primary motivator rather than love. As we
seek to increase our faith, we may be confused by what James taught. He
reminded us ‘faith without works is dead.’ We may stumble if we think
everything depends on us. An overdependence on ourselves can impede our ability
to access the powers of heaven. But as we move toward true faith in Jesus
Christ, our mindset begins to change. We recognize obedience and faith in the
Savior qualify us to have His Spirit always to be with us. We recognize obedience
to God’s commands enables us to be trusted of Him. With His trust comes
increased light. This light guides our journey and allows us to see more
clearly the path we should take.” - Elder Larry S. Kacher
