“The Lord Called His People Zion”
The establishment of Zion should be the aim of every member of this Church...In Zion, contentions and disputations cease, class distinctions and hatreds disappear, no one is poor—spiritually or temporally, and all manner of wickedness is no more...The ancient prophet Enoch labored many years to bring his people to this state of righteousness...Zion is established and flourishes because of the God-inspired lives and labors of its citizens. Zion comes not as a gift but because virtuous covenant people are drawn together and build it.

The Ants and the Grasshoppers | Building Zion
BUILDING ZION - by Angie Killian - Christian Song
[Being] peacemakers, as followers of Jesus Christ…is an essential part of fostering unity, peace, and healing…We live in a day when the Lord’s followers are privileged to hear His voice and respond with open hearts and minds...As the Lord hastens His work, we should love, nurture, and serve those who accept His gospel. We can help build a Zion people, where we are “of one heart and one mind, and [dwell] in righteousness.” To be one with the Lord, we must be one before the Lord. All members, regardless of baptism date, share a responsibility to welcome others.
- Quentin L. Cook, The Lord is Hastening His Work
God does “all things for [our] welfare and happiness”; that He is “merciful and gracious, slow to anger, long-suffering and full of goodness”; and that “all are alike unto [Him].” When you feel hurt, lost, scared, upset, sad, hungry, or hopelessly abandoned in life’s extremities—open the [scriptures] and you will come to know that “[God] will never desert us. He never has, and He never will...”
...I love the God of my fathers, “the Lord God Almighty,” who weeps with us in our sorrows, patiently chastens our unrighteousness, and rejoices when we seek to “give away all [our] sins to know [Him].”
- Brian K. Taylor, Am I a Child of God?

Agency is the gift to choose and act for ourselves...We are agents, and agents are responsible for something. In this case, we are responsible for the choices we make based on the knowledge we have and the gifts we are given. We cannot make a choice without being responsible for the consequences. Why do we have agency? To choose good. To choose Christ. To choose eternal life—again and again…Choosing to believe is a wise and powerful way to use our agency.

The Prophet Joseph Smith said: “The building up of Zion is a cause that has interested the people of God in every age; it is a theme upon which prophets, priests and kings have dwelt with peculiar delight;...we are the favored people that God has made choice of to bring about the Latter-day glory”.
Zion is both a place and a people...Jerusalem and its temple were called Mount Zion, and the scriptures prophesy of a future New Jerusalem where Christ shall reign as “King of Zion,” when “for the space of a thousand years the earth shall rest”.
- President D. Todd Christofferson, Come to Zion

Every day, we are approaching closer to the glorious moment when the Savior Jesus Christ will come to earth again. We know something of the terrible events that will precede His coming, yet our hearts swell with joy and confidence also knowing of the glorious promises that will be fulfilled before He returns…We know that the Savior will come to a people who have been gathered and prepared to live as the people did in the city of Enoch…You…will be at the heart of creating that society of people who will join in glorious association with the Savior. You will be an essential force in the gathering of Israel and in the creation of a Zion people who will dwell in peace in the New Jerusalem.
