Description
The answer is simple yet profound. To face the future with faith, hope, and power, our lives need to be anchored to the “rock of our Redeemer” (Helaman 5:12). To help Latter-day Saints understand how to anchor their spiritual foundations to the rock of Jesus Christ, Elder David A. Bednar focuses on three divine invitations: to strengthen our covenant connection with the Father and the Son; to increase in spiritual knowledge, testimony, and conversion; and to gather gospel truths together in one. These interrelated invitations work together to help disciples seek the spiritual gift of faith in the Lord Jesus Christ and become more securely connected to Him.
Through the teachings found in The Rock of Our Redeemer, we can come to realize the blessings of relying on our Savior—blessings of purpose, power, knowledge, strength, perspective, and peace. Even when navigating the confusion and heartaches so common in the latter days, we can be blessed through the power of the Holy Ghost to “be still” (Psalm 46:10)—to have a personal, spiritual assurance that God is our Heavenly Father, we are His children, and Jesus Christ is our Savior.
