Three years ago, President Russell M. Nelson began General Conference with these profound words: β€œPure revelation for the questions in your heart will make this conference rewarding and unforgettable.” He continued, β€œIf you have not yet sought for the ministering of the Holy Ghost to help you hear what the Lord would have you hear during these two days, I invite you to do so now.” He urged everyone to make the conference a time of feasting on the messages from the Lord through His servants.

 

The scriptures link three powerful words together: faith, hope, and charity. The gift of hope is described as a priceless endowment from God. Often, the word hope is used in the context of things we simply wish to happen, such as, β€œI hope it won’t rain” or β€œI hope our team wins.” But President Nelson’s focus was on sacred and eternal hopesβ€”those centered in Jesus Christ, the restored gospel, and the confident expectations of the promised blessings of righteousness.

 

Our hope of eternal life is assured through the grace of Christ, as well as through our own choices. This combination allows us the remarkable blessing of returning to our heavenly home, where we can live forever in peace and happiness with our Heavenly Father, His beloved Son, our faithful family, and precious friends. It also includes the righteous men and women from every continent and century on Earth.

 

We will experience both joy and sorrow as we are tested and proven in this life. However, our ultimate victory comes through faith in Jesus Christ as we triumph over sins, difficulties, temptations, and unfairness.
