"It is one thing to talk about the gospel, but it is quite another to live
it. It is one thing to preach about Christ, but it is another to follow in
his footsteps.
"When the gospel is incorporated in the life of each one of us, it molds
our decisions and determines our actions. We become models and examples
who can teach others the path to follow leading to life eternal only when
we live the principles of the gospel.
"In the great mission to which we have been called, to be saviors of men,
may we follow the admonition of the Lord:
"'Verily I say unto you all: Arise and shine forth, that thy light may be
a standard for the nations.' (D&C
115:5.)" - Angel Abrea, "The
Sure Sound of the Trumpet," Ensign (CR), May 1984, p.70

Have we thought about the tremendous spiritual deterioration that results
from not keeping the Sabbath day holy? This commandment involves much more
than just resting from our labors. Keeping the Sabbath day holy inherently
builds spiritual character and prepares us for what is to come. By
observing this commandment, we will have power over evil; we will be more
capable of keeping the commandments of the Lord and maintaining ourselves
unspotted from the sins of the world. (See D&C
59:9.) - Angel Abrea, "The
Little Things and Eternal Life," Ensign (CR) October 1981

According to the radius of our activity, or within our sphere of
responsibility, each one of us influences a certain number of God’s sons
and daughters. Our attitudes, actions, and words convey messages to
others which in some way affect their lives, either positively or
negatively. - Angel Abrea, "The
Sure Sound of the Trumpet," Ensign (CR) October 1984

Jesus Christ did not alter concepts in order to make incorrect actions
compatible with a false sense of reality; he always clarified them in
order to eliminate neutrality and ambiguity and to expose hypocrisy and
deviant actions, thereby setting the standard by which the children of
God will be judged.
He described things as they were and lived his life as a clear example
to us all of how to live and how to act, even saying, “For I have given
you an example” (John
13:15). - Angel Abrea, "Assurance
That Comes from Knowing," Ensign (CR) May 1988

We must have
patience in order to withstand pain and grief without complaint or
discouragement, which detract from the Spirit. It’s necessary to
have patience in the face of tribulation and persecution for the
cause of truth, which sets an example because the manner in which we
bear our cross will be an influence to others to help lighten their
load. - Angel Abrea, “Patience
in Affliction,” Ensign (CR) April 1992

Patience
must
be our constant companion during the journey which carries us toward
that great goal, “Continue in patience until ye are perfected,” the
counsel the Lord
gave to the elders of the Church. (D&C
67:13.) – Angel Abrea, “Patience
in
Affliction,” Ensign (CR) May 1992
