“Come, Follow Me”

Russell M. Nelson · April 2019 · Sunday Morning Session

In truth, the Savior Himself has made it abundantly clear that while His Resurrection assures that every person who ever lived will indeed be resurrected and live forever, much more is required if we want to have the high privilege of exaltation.

Daughters of God

Gordon B. Hinckley · October 1991 · General Women’s Meeting

Beyond the wonderful and descriptive words found in sections 76 and 137 [D&C 76; D&C 137] we know relatively little concerning the celestial kingdom and those who will be there.

“Thou Shalt Receive Revelation”

Bruce R. McConkie · October 1978 · Sunday Afternoon Session

Joseph Smith and Sidney Rigdon, on February 16, 1832, at Hiram, Ohio, saw in vision the kingdoms of glory in the eternal world and received such an outpouring of grace and truth as has seldom come to mortal men.

The Testimony of Jesus

D. Todd Christofferson · April 2024 · Sunday Afternoon Session

Those in the celestial kingdom are “they who received the testimony of Jesus, … who are just men made perfect through Jesus the mediator of the new covenant.” The inhabitants of the second, or terrestrial, kingdom are described as essentially good, including the “honorable men of the earth, who were blinded by the craftiness of men.” Their principal limiting trait is that they “are not valiant in the testimony of Jesus.” By contrast, those in the lower, telestial kingdom are those who “receiv...

Brothers and sisters, more than half of adults in the Church today are widowed, divorced, or not yet married.

Valiant in the Testimony of Jesus

Quentin L. Cook · October 2016 · Saturday Afternoon Session

Eternal life is the greatest gift of God and is bestowed on those who “keep [God’s] commandments and endure to the end.” On the other hand, eternal life with our Heavenly Father is denied those “who are not valiant in the testimony of Jesus.” There are a number of stumbling blocks to our valor that can prevent us from reaching the goal of eternal life.

Choose Wisely

Create or Continue Priesthood Links

Keith K. Hilbig · October 2001 · Priesthood Session

If one fails to obtain or to honor the Melchizedek Priesthood, his link will be missing, and eternal life will be unattainable (see D&C 76:79; 84:41–42)—hence, our great effort as a church to teach the message of the Restoration to all who are willing to listen and to prepare all who are desirous for the blessings of the priesthood and the temple.

“Apply the Atoning Blood of Christ”

Neal A. Maxwell · October 1997 · Saturday Afternoon Session

Brothers and sisters, Christ paid such an enormous, enabling price for us!

“Swallowed Up in the Will of the Father”

Neal A. Maxwell · October 1995 · Saturday Afternoon Session

A second group of members are “honorable” but not “valiant.” They are not really aware of the gap nor of the importance of closing it (see D&C 76:75, 79).

“Settle This in Your Hearts”

Neal A. Maxwell · October 1992 · Sunday Morning Session

Such members accept callings but not all of the accompanying responsibilities; hence, their Church chores must often be done by those already “anxiously engaged.” Some regard themselves as merely “resting” in between Church callings.

Witnesses of Christ

Dallin H. Oaks · October 1990 · Saturday Afternoon Session

In contrast, in his vision of the three degrees of glory, the Prophet Joseph Smith described those souls who go to the terrestrial kingdom as the “honorable men of the earth,” who were “not valiant in the testimony of Jesus” (D&C 76:75, 79).
