Priesthood is the means whereby the Lord acts through men to save souls. One of the defining features of the Church of Jesus Christ, both anciently and today, is His authority. There can be no true Church without divine authority.

More quotes by David A. Bednar
The tender mercies of the Lord are available to all of us and...the Redeemer of Israel is eager to bestow such gifts upon us.
David A. Bednar
Feeling the security and constancy of love from a spouse, a parent or a child is a rich blessing. Such love nurtures and sustains faith in God. Such love is a source of strength and casts out fear. Such love is the desire of every human soul.
David A. Bednar
Prayer becomes more meaningful as we counsel with the Lord in all of our doings, as we express heartfelt gratitude, and as we pray for others.
David A. Bednar
Would the Lord send one of the Twelve Apostles halfway around the world to help just one person? The answer is YES. He does it all the time.
David A. Bednar
I testify that the tender mercies of the Lord are real and that they do not occur randomly or merely by coincidence. Often, the Lord's timing of His tender mercies helps us to both discern and acknowledge them.
David A. Bednar
Asking in faith requires honesty, effort, commitment, and persistence.
David A. Bednar
Faithful parents can invite the power of heaven to influence their children. Nevertheless, those children remain agents unto themselves, and the choice to repent or not ultimately is theirs.
David A. Bednar
Steady, sustained, and incremental spiritual progress produces the fruit of steadfastness-and helps us to reduce the disparity between what we know and what we do. Testimony is strengthened and conversion unto the Lord is deepened through small and simple things done well over time.
David A. Bednar
Every sincere prayer is heard and answered by our Heavenly Father, but the answers we receive may not be what we expect or come to us when we want or in the way we anticipate.
David A. Bednar
What we know is not always reflected in what we do.
David A. Bednar
Parents should be vigilant and spiritually attentive to spontaneously occurring opportunities to bear testimony to their children. Such occasions need not be programmed, scheduled, or scripted. In fact, the less regimented such testimony sharing is, the greater the likelihood for edification and lasting impact.
David A. Bednar
I witness the reality and divinity of our Eternal Father, of His Only Begotten Son, the Lord Jesus Christ, and of the Holy Ghost. I testify that our Father hears and answers our prayers. May each of us strive with greater resolve to ask in faith and thereby make our prayers truly meaningful.
David A. Bednar
Knowing that the gospel is true is the essence of a testimony. Consistently being true to the gospel is the essence of conversion.
David A. Bednar
A grateful person is rich in contentment. An ungrateful person suffers in the poverty of endless discontentment.
David A. Bednar
If all opposition were curtailed, if all maladies were removed, then the primary purposes of the Father's plan would be frustrated.
David A. Bednar
Obedience to the law of chastity will increase our happiness in mortality and make possible our progress in eternity.
David A. Bednar
To be offended is a choice we make it is not a condition inflicted or imposed upon us by someone or something else.
David A. Bednar
Pray and seek for strength to change our circumstances rather than praying for our circumstances to be changed
David A. Bednar
Ordinary men are given the authority of the priesthood. Worthiness and willingness - not experience, expertise, or education - are the qualifications for priesthood ordination.
David A. Bednar
The Savior is the perfect example of praying for others with real intent. In His great Intercessory Prayer uttered on the night before His Crucifixion, Jesus prayed for His Apostles and all of the Saints.
