More quotes by Jeffrey R. Holland
I testify that one cannot come to full faith in this latter-day work—and thereby find the fullest measure of peace and comfort in these, our times—until he or she embraces the divinity of the Book of Mormon and the Lord Jesus Christ, of whom it testifies.
Jeffrey R. Holland
We declare that one who uses the God-given body of another without divine sanction abuses the very soul of that individual, abuses the central purpose and processes of life.
Jeffrey R. Holland
It is obvious that the bumper sticker question What would Jesus do? will not always bring a popular response.
Jeffrey R. Holland
Even if you cannot always see that silver lining on your clouds, God can, for He is the very source of the light you seek. He does love you, and He knows your fears. He hears your prayers. He is your Heavenly Father, and surely He matches with His own the tears His children shed.
Jeffrey R. Holland
If for a while the harder you try, the harder it gets, take heart. So it has been with the best people who ever lived. (The Inconvenient Messiah, BYU Speeches, Feb 15, 1982)
Jeffrey R. Holland
I am convinced that missionary work is not easy because salvation is not a cheap experience. Salvation never was easy. We are the Church of Jesus Christ, this is the truth, and He is our Great Eternal Head. How could we believe it would be easy for us when it was never, ever easy for Him?
Jeffrey R. Holland
Defend your beliefs with courtesy and with compassion, but defend them.
Jeffrey R. Holland
I ask for a stonger and more devoted voice... a voice for good, a voice for the gospel, a voice for God.
Jeffrey R. Holland
The Atonement of Jesus Christ is rightfully seen as the central fact, the crucial foundation, and the chief doctrine of the plan of salvation, which we are called to teach.
Jeffrey R. Holland
No one has failed who keeps trying and keeps praying.
Jeffrey R. Holland
Faith is for the future. Faith builds on the past but never longs to stay there. Faith trusts that God has great things in store for each of us and that Christ truly is the “high priest of good things to come” (Hebrews 9:11).
Jeffrey R. Holland
Some blessings come soon, some come late, and some don't come until heaven but for those who embrace the gospel of Jesus Christ, they come.
Jeffrey R. Holland
Let people repent. Let people grow. Believe that people can change and improve.
Jeffrey R. Holland
Just because God is God, just because Christ is Christ, they cannot do other than care for us and bless us and help us if we will but come unto them, approaching their throne of grace in meekness and lowliness of heart. They can't help but bless us. They have to. It is their nature.
Jeffrey R. Holland
For 179 years [The Book of Mormon] has been examined and attacked, denied and deconstructed, targeted and torn apart like perhaps no other religious history – perhaps like no other book in any religious history- and still, it stands.
Jeffrey R. Holland
There is no convenient Messiah. Salvation comes only through discipline and sacrifice.
Jeffrey R. Holland
I especially wish to praise and encourage young mothers. The work of a mother is hard, too often unheralded work... Do the best you can through these years, but whatever else you do, cherish that role that is so uniquely yours and for which heaven itself sends angels to watch over you and your little ones.
Jeffrey R. Holland
Perhaps no more beautiful passages have ever been written about the Savior's atonement and crucifixion than those written by Isaiah.
Jeffrey R. Holland
Trust in God. Hold on to His love. Know that one day the dawn will break brightly and all shadows of mortality will flee.
Jeffrey R. Holland
So we have neighbors to bless, children to protect, the poor to lift up, and the truth to defend. We have wrongs to make right, truths to share, and good to do. In short, we have a life of devoted discipleship to give in demonstrating our love of the Lord. We can’t quit and we can’t go back.
