The Eternal Nature of Families:
The knowledge that families can be eternal is a precious truth in the gospel of Jesus Christ. Our eternal perspective allows us to cherish and strengthen family bonds, both those of our earthly families and those we hope to create in the eternities.
Learning and Growth Through Challenges:
An eternal perspective helps us see challenges not as roadblocks but as opportunities for growth and refinement. Elder David A. Bednar teaches that "the Lord compensates the faithful for every loss." As we face trials and uncertainties, the eternal perspective assures us that our experiences are integral to our progression and eventual exaltation.
The Impact of Choices on Eternity:
Our choices have eternal significance. By making choices aligned with gospel principles, we actively shape our eternal destiny. Our decisions influence not only our lives here and now, but also have eternal ramifications.
