Saturday Afternoon Session
Conversion to the Will of God
Excerpts
Over a lifetime of service and spiritual experiences, I have come to understand that true conversion is the result of the conscious acceptance of the will of God and that we can be guided in our actions by the Holy Ghost. …
What are the obligations that flow from conversion? …
… The Savior graciously invites us to be His voice and His hands. The love of the Savior will be our guiding light. The Savior taught His disciples, “Go ye therefore, and teach all nations” [Matthew 28:19]. And to Joseph Smith, He declared, “Preach my gospel unto every creature who has not received it” [Doctrine and Covenants 112:28]. …
For the Savior’s mandate to share the gospel to become part of who we are, we need to become converted to the will of God; we need to love our neighbors, share the restored gospel of Jesus Christ, and invite all to come and see. …
Our personal conversion includes the responsibility to share the gospel of Jesus Christ with the world.
The blessings of sharing the gospel include increasing our conversion to the will of God and letting God prevail in our lives. We bless others to experience a “mighty change” of heart” [Alma 5:14]. There is truly eternal joy in helping to bring souls unto Christ. Laboring for the conversion of oneself and others is the noble task.
