What Does It Mean To Take Upon Us the Name of Jesus Christ?


Elder Dallin H. Oaks of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles helps answer this question in his general conference talk “Taking upon Us the Name of Jesus Christ” (Ensign, May 1985, 80).

1. As we take the sacrament, we can willingly renew the covenant we made at baptism—to remember the Lord and keep His commandments.

2. We can proclaim our belief in Him to others (see D&C 18:21).

3. We can serve Him by doing the work of His kingdom (see Hebrews 6:10).
