More Than Conquerors through Him That Loved Us

"Earth life includes tests, trials, and tribulations, and some of the trials we face in life can be excruciating. Whether it be illness, betrayal, temptations, loss of a loved one, natural disasters, or some other ordeal, affliction is part of our mortal experience. Many have wondered why we must face difficult challenges. We know that one reason is to provide a trial of our faith to see if we will do all the Lord has commanded. Fortunately this earth life is the perfect setting to face—and pass—these tests."

--Paul V. Johnson, "More Than Conquerors through Him That Loved Us", April 2011 General Conference

Seeking to Know God, Our Heavenly Father, and His Son, Jesus Christ

"Without God, life would end at the grave and our mortal experiences would have no purpose. Growth and progress would be temporary, accomplishment without value, challenges without meaning. There would be no ultimate right and wrong and no moral responsibility to care for one another as fellow children of God. Indeed, without God, there would be no mortal or eternal life."
--Robert D. Hales, "“Seeking to Know God, Our Heavenly Father, and His Son, Jesus Christ", Ensign, Nov 2009, 29–32
