All of us can meet God's high expectations.

All of us can meet God's high expectations.

With confidence we testify that the Atonement of Jesus Christ has anticipated and, in the end, will compensate all deprivation and loss for those who turn to Him. No one is predestined to receive less than all that the Father has for His children.

Work builds and refines character, creates beauty, and is the instrument of our service to one another and to God.

With faith in the merciful Redeemer and His power, potential despair turns to hope. One's very heart and desires change, and the once-appealing sin becomes increasingly abhorrent. A resolve to abandon and forsake the sin and to repair, as fully as one possibly can, the damage he or she has caused now forms in that new heart. This resolve soon matures into a covenant of obedience to God. With that covenant in place, the Holy Ghost, the messenger of divine grace, will bring relief and forgiveness.

Whatever the cost of repentance, it is swallowed up in the joy of forgiveness.

A God who makes no demands, is the functional equivalent of a God who does not exist.
