"There Could Not Be a Happier People"
President Nelson spoke in general conference: “The Lord impressed upon my mind the importance of the name He decreed for His Church...” The identity and destiny of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints require that we be called by His name…There are thousands and thousands of Latter-day Saints who have courageously proclaimed the name of the Church. As we do our part, others will follow.

[T]he Savior’s Church is special only if it is built on His gospel. Without the Savior’s gospel and the authority to administer the ordinances thereof, the Church isn’t exceptional…The Savior refers to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints as “my church” because He commissioned it to accomplish His purposes—preaching His gospel, offering His ordinances and covenants, and making it possible for His power to justify and sanctify us.

[S]ome may even have wondered, “Is it even possible to go back?...Is it better to just stay lost? How will God react if I try to return?”...Our Heavenly Father will run to us, His heart overflowing with love and compassion. He will embrace us; place a robe around our shoulders, a ring on our finger, and sandals on our feet; and proclaim, “Today we celebrate! For my child, who once was dead, has come back to life!” Heaven will rejoice at our return.

This is not unusual; it is a healthy, spiritual feeling that is essential to our progress. But how often have you followed through on those feelings?... Desires change during our lives, sometimes dramatically and quickly, and sometimes gradually…When you are pure in your heart, when you desire that which is good, true, and beautiful, then you can avoid the pitfalls of life.

This doctrine of the gathering is one of the important teachings of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. The Lord has declared: “I give unto you a sign...” The coming forth of the Book of Mormon is a sign to the entire world that the Lord has commenced to gather Israel and fulfill covenants He made to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. We not only teach this doctrine, but we participate in it. We do so as we help to gather the elect of the Lord on both sides of the veil. The Book of Mormon is central to this work...

What is the key to this breakthrough in contented, happy living? It is embedded...in one sentence: “The love of God…did dwell in the hearts of the people.” When the love of God sets the tone for our own lives, for our relationships to each other and ultimately our feeling for all humankind, then old distinctions, limiting labels, and artificial divisions begin to pass away, and peace increases…If we love God enough to try to be fully faithful to Him, He will give us the ability, the capacity, the will, and the way to love our neighbor and ourselves.
