Because He lived a perfect life, because He bore every sin and every sorrow, because He broke the bands of death, Jesus Christ alone can stand before the world and declare, “I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.” – Brian J. Holmes, ”Jesus Christ Is […]
Jesus Christ stands at the very heart of God’s plan of salvation and exaltation. Every promise of redemption, every hope of resurrection, and every assurance of eternal life flows through Him. Without Jesus Christ, there is no salvation, no victory over sin and death, and no path back to our Heavenly Father. He is the […]

There is no other event in human history as significant as the atoning sacrifice of our divine Redeemer. None else compares with it. Without it life would be meaningless. It would be a dead-end journey. With it we are assured of eternal life. Death is not the end, but rather a passing on to a more glorious […]
When you make choices, I invite you to take the long view—an eternal view. Put Jesus Christ first because your eternal life is dependent upon your faith in Him and in His Atonement.12 It is also dependent upon your obedience to His laws. Obedience paves the way for a joyful life for you today and a […]
In the meridian of time, Jesus Christ came into the world; and in three short years’ time of public ministry he marked out the pathway which leadeth unto eternal life. In other words, by the life he lived and through the teachings he gave, he proclaimed to the human family the gospel plan of salvation, […]
“Happy and forever” are not the imaginary stuff of fairy tales. True, enduring joy and eternity with those we love are the very essence of God’s plan of happiness.
