Holiness and the
Plan of Happiness
BY PRESIDENT HENRY B. EYRING
Second Counselor in the First Presidency
Only by faith in
Jesus Christ, continuing repentance,
and keeping covenants are we able to
claim the lasting happiness we all yearn
to experience and retain.
My prayer for today is that I may
help you understand that greater happiness comes from greater personal
holiness so that you will act upon that
belief....
The scriptures teach us that among
other things, we can be sanctified or
become more holy when we exercise
faith in Christ, demonstrate our
obedience, repent, sacrifice for Him, receive sacred ordinances, and keep our covenants with Him. Qualifying for
the gift of holiness requires humility, meekness, and patience...
Greater holiness will not come
simply by asking for it. It will come
by doing what is needed for God to
change us.
