“We don’t join the Church for fellowship alone, important as
that is. We join for redemption through the love and grace of Jesus Christ. We
join to secure the ordinances of salvation and exaltation for ourselves and
those we love on both sides of the veil. We join to participate in a great
project to establish Zion in preparation for the Lord’s return. President
Russell M. Nelson recently wrote: ‘Once you and I have made a covenant with
God, our relationship with Him becomes much closer than before our covenant.
Now we are bound together. Because of our covenant with God, He will never tire
in His efforts to help us, and we will never exhaust His merciful patience with
us. Each of us has a special place in God’s heart. Jesus Christ is the
guarantor of those covenants.’ If we will remember this, the Lord’s high hopes
for us will inspire, not discourage, us. ” – Elder D. Todd Christofferson
