"Arise and Come Forth unto Me"
No one is more on our side than the Savior.…[His] grace is ever ready and ever present…But just how many times will He forgive us?...On one occasion Peter asked the Savior, “Lord, how oft shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? till seven times?”… “Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee, Until seven times: but, Until seventy times seven.”…The Lord used the math of seventy times seven as a metaphor of His infinite Atonement, His boundless love, and His limitless grace.

Temptation Fades as We Seek Christ in Every Thought
[O]ne of the fundamental needs we have in order to grow is to stay connected to our source of light—Jesus Christ. . He is the source of our power, the Light and Life of the World...Jesus said, “I am the light [that] shineth in darkness, and the darkness comprehendeth it not.” That means no matter how hard it tries, the darkness cannot put out that light. Ever. You can trust that His light will be there for you.

Ultimately, the Lord wants our hearts; He wants us to become new creatures in Christ. As He instructed the Nephites, “Ye shall offer for a sacrifice unto me a broken heart and a contrite spirit.” Sacrifice is less about “giving up” and more about “giving to” the Lord...As we observe our covenants by sacrifice, we are made holy through the grace of Jesus Christ; and at the altars of the holy temple, with broken hearts and contrite spirits, we give our holiness to the Lord.

Why Did Jesus Tell All People to Sacrifice a Broken Heart and a Contrite Spirit? (Knowhy #198)
We will find our Father’s voice in many places. We will find it when we pray, study the scriptures, attend church, engage in faithful discussions, or go to the temple…Seeking His voice in any one of these places is good, but seeking it in many of them is even better. And when we hear it, we need to follow the direction that is given...The more diligently we seek His voice, the easier it becomes to hear. It is not that His voice gets louder but that our ability to hear it has increased.

When Christ physically visited the Nephites at their temple, His invitation was not to stand at a distance and look upon Him, but to touch Him, to feel for themselves the reality of the Savior of humankind. How can we draw close enough to gain a personal witness of Jesus Christ?... Look for Christ everywhere―I promise He is there! True joy rests on our willingness to come closer to Christ and witness for ourselves.

Luke 24 | The Risen Lord Jesus Christ Appears to the Apostles | The Bible
During the Lord’s…ministry in the New World, He...succinctly summarized the fundamental principles of His gospel…The Savior also taught the people to come unto Him through sacred covenants...He emphasized the eternal importance of the ordinances of baptism and of receiving the Holy Ghost. In a similar manner, you and I are admonished to turn toward and learn from Christ and to come unto Him through the covenants and ordinances of His restored gospel.
