“Burying our weapons of rebellion against God simply means
yielding to the enticing of the Holy Spirit, putting off the natural man, and
becoming a saint through the atonement of Christ the Lord. It means putting the
first commandment first in our lives. It means letting God prevail. If our love
of God and our determination to serve Him with all our might, mind, and
strength become the touchstone by which we judge all things and make all our
decisions, we will have buried our weapons of rebellion. By the grace of
Christ, God will forgive our sins and rebellions of the past and will take away
the stain of those sins and rebellions from our hearts. Our Heavenly Father and
His Son, our Redeemer, have confirmed Their unending commitment to our ultimate
happiness through the most profound love and sacrifice. We experience Their
love daily. Surely we can reciprocate with our own love and loyalty.” – Elder
D. Todd Christofferson
