How Do We Come to Know the Lord?

“A grand object of mortality is not merely learning about the Only Begotten of the Father but also striving to know Him. Four essential steps that can help us come to know the Lord are exercising faith in Him, following Him, serving Him, and believing Him. …

“On a future day, ‘every knee shall bow, and every tongue confess’ [Mosiah 27:31] that Jesus is the Christ. On that blessed day, we will know He knows each of us by name. And I witness and promise we can not only know about the Lord but also come to know Him.”

Elder David A. Bednar of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles, “If Ye Had Known Me,” Ensign, Nov. 2016, 103, 105.
