When we have faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, we must have trust in him. We must trust him enough that we are content to accept his will, knowing that he knows what is best for us.

We must seek to be firmly rooted and converted to the gospel of Jesus Christ.

We should seek after spiritual gifts. They can lead us to God. They can shield us from the power of the adversary. They can compensate for our inadequacies and repair our imperfections.

We have the agency to choose which characteristics will define us; those choices are not thrust upon us.

Those who enjoy the blessings of liberty under a divinely inspired constitution should promote morality, and they should practice what the Founding Fathers called civic virtue.

We must change all elements of our behavior that are in conflict with gospel... covenants.

The commandment to avoid contention applies to those who are right as well as those who are wrong.
