“Think of your premortal life. You were there with Heavenly Father as a spirit child. He knew you, He loved you, and He called you by name. The fact that you are born 'in the image of God' is not metaphorical. It reflects a literal, divine truth about who you are and where you came from.”
President Russell M. Nelson

“The Fall of Adam was not a tragedy or an unfortunate mistake. It was a necessary step in God's plan of happiness for His children. 'Adam fell that men might be; and men are, that they might have joy.' Joy is the purpose of the plan -- and opposition, agency, and the Atonement together make that joy possible.”
Elder David A. Bednar

“Jesus does not just show us the way. He is the way. He doesn't merely point to the truth -- He is the truth. He is the very source of light and life in all its dimensions. This is not rhetoric or poetry. It is the doctrinal foundation of every testimony borne in this Church.”
Elder Jeffrey R. Holland

“The Lord expects us to be anxiously engaged. He does not want passive disciples who wait for someone to assign them a task. The invitation to 'do many things of our own free will' is both a privilege and a responsibility. We live in a time of great urgency and great opportunity.”
President Gordon B. Hinckley
