“To Be a Greater Follower of Righteousness”
[O]ur Savior, Jesus Christ, knows everything about us we don’t want anyone else to know, and He still loves us...Our standing before the Lord and in His Church is…a matter of…our becoming faithful and valiant disciples of Jesus Christ...Disciples of Jesus Christ come from everywhere, in every shape, size, hue, and age, each with talents, righteous desires, and immense capacities to bless and serve. We seek daily to follow Jesus Christ with faith unto repentance and enduring joy.

Having Courage & Trusting the Lord: Stand Up for What You Believe In
Joseph Smith, the Mormon Prophet: Faith in God and a Desire to Know
Did you know that Heavenly Father knows you personally—by name? The scriptures teach us that this is true… You may not have heard the Lord call you by name, but He knows each one of you and He knows your name...How can you know that your name and needs are known by our Heavenly Father? Elder Robert D. Hales counseled: “Turn to the scriptures. Kneel in prayer. Ask in faith. Listen to the Holy Ghost."…Each of you has a part to play in this great and marvelous work. The Savior will help you. He will lead you by the hand. He knows you by name.

Some of us are the literal seed of Abraham; others are gathered into his family by adoption. The Lord makes no distinction. Together we receive these promised blessings—if we seek the Lord and obey His commandments…those who receive the Father receive all that He has. Incredible blessings flow from this oath and covenant to worthy men, women, and children in all the world. Ours is the responsibility to help fulfill the Abrahamic covenant. Ours is the seed foreordained and prepared to bless all people of the world...This is the time of the promised gathering of Israel.

Peacemaking is a Christlike attribute. Peacemakers are sometimes labeled naive or weak—from all sides. Yet, to be a peacemaker is not to be weak but to be strong in a way that the world may not understand. Peacemaking requires courage and compromise but does not require sacrifice of principle...Peacemaking is not a new thing, hot off the press. It was taught by Jesus Christ Himself...Peacemaking has since been taught by modern-day prophets from the earliest days of the Restoration even to this day.

The Story of Abraham And Lot | Animated Scripture Lesson for Kids
The doctrine of tithing is woven like a tapestry throughout the scriptures. Abraham paid tithing to Melchizedek. The children of Israel were taught to bring their tithes to the Lord… As we pay and teach our children to pay tithing, we develop a family that is deeply rooted in making and keeping temple covenants...A special peace that will surpass all understanding will come to you and your family as you pay a full tithing. You will find that all fears concerning finances and care of family will diminish. You will come to know that your Heavenly Father loves you.

As disciples, when we make and keep sacred covenants, we are blessed with spiritual power. We are connected to Christ and God the Father in a special relationship and can experience Their love and joy in a measure reserved for those who have made and kept covenants...Through true covenant discipleship, we can begin to understand better the nature of God and the joy that He wants all of His children to experience...As we bind ourselves to act as covenant disciples, in whatever our level of capacity, our relationship with the Father and the Son is enriched, our joy enhanced, and our eternal perspective expanded.
