"How can you become converted? How can you make the gospel of Jesus Christ not
just an influence in your life but the controlling influence and, indeed, the
very core of what you are? The ancient prophet Jeremiah spoke of the law of God,
the gospel, being written in our hearts. He quotes the Lord speaking about us,
His people in the latter days: 'I will put my law in their inward parts, and
write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people.' (Jer.
31:33, Ezek. 11:19-20,
Mosiah 5:2.)
"Do you want this for yourself? I can tell you how that can happen, but it must
be something you want. The gospel cannot be written in your heart unless your
heart is open. Without a heartfelt desire, you can participate in sacrament
meetings, classes, and Church activities and do the things I will tell you, but
it won't make much difference. But if your heart is open and willing, like the
heart of a child, (See Matt.
18:3-4.) let me tell you what you can do to be converted." - D. Todd

Thou Art Converted," Ensign (CR), May 2004, p.11

"We who hold the priesthood of God cannot afford to drift.
We have work to do (see Moroni
9:6). We must arise from the dust of self-indulgence and be men! It is a
wonderful aspiration for a boy to become a man—strong and capable; someone who
can build and create things, run things; someone who makes a difference in the
world. It is a wonderful aspiration for those of us who are older to make the
vision of true manhood a reality in our lives and be models for those who look
to us for an example." - D. Todd Christofferson, "Let
Us Be Men," Ensign, November 2006
