Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints
In his opening remarks in the October 2021 General Conference, President Russell M. Nelson declared, “There has never been a time in the history of the world when knowledge of our savior is more personally vital and relevant to every human soul. Imagine how quickly the devastating conflicts throughout the world—and those in our individual lives—would be resolved if we all chose to follow Jesus Christ and heed his teachings.”
Nelson invites all church members to listen for three important things in the conference addresses: pure truth, the pure doctrine of Christ, and pure revelation. He said, “There is such a thing as right and wrong. There is absolute truth—eternal truth. One of the plagues of our day is that too few people know where to turn for truth.”
Nelson went on to declare that “pure doctrine of Christ is powerful. It changes the life of everyone who understands it and seeks to implement it in his or her life. The doctrine of Christ helps us find and stay on the covenant path. Staying on that narrow but well-defined path will ultimately qualify us to receive all that God has.”
As he concluded his remarks, Nelson promised that the revelation received in answer to the sincere questions in believers’ hearts will be “rewarding and unforgettable.” He challenged people to seek “the ministering of the Holy Ghost to help you hear what the Lord would have you hear.”
