Jacob's Ladder

 

“The word abide denotes remaining fixed or stable and enduring without yielding. Elder Holland explained that ‘abiding’ as an action means ‘to stay, but to stay forever.’ That is the call of the gospel message to everyone in the world. Come, but come to remain. Come with conviction and endurance. Come permanently, for your sake and the sake of all the generations who must follow you. Thus, we abide in Christ as we are firm and steadfast in our devotion to the Redeemer and His holy purposes, in times both good and bad. We begin to abide in the Lord by exercising our moral agency to take upon ourselves His yoke through covenants and ordinances of the restored gospel. The covenant connection we have with our Heavenly Father and His resurrected and living Son is the supernal source of perspective, hope, power, peace, and enduring joy; it also is the rock-solid foundation upon which we should build our lives.” – Elder David A. Bednar
