Detail from I See the Son of Man, by Walter Rane

“When you climb up a ladder,” Joseph Smith taught, “you must begin at the bottom, and ascend step by step, until you arrive at the top; and so it is with the principles of the gospel—you must begin with the first, and go on until you learn all the principles of exaltation” (Teachings of Presidents of the Church: Joseph Smith [2007]268).

Sometimes that ladder of exaltation seems impossibly high, but we were born to climb to the top with the Savior’s constant help. Whatever limitations we may see in ourselves, Heavenly Father and His Son see something glorious in us, something godlike. Just as Jesus Christ “was in the beginning with the Father,” so “ye were also” (Doctrine and Covenants 93:21, 23). Just as He “continued from grace to grace, until he received a fulness,” so also “you shall receive grace for grace” (verses 13, 20). The restored gospel teaches about the true nature of God, and so it also teaches about your true nature and destiny. You are a literal child of God with the potential to “in due time receive of his fulness” (verse 19).

What Church leaders have said about this week's Come, Follow Me

The Orem Utah Hillcrest Stake of the Church Of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is comprised of six English-speaking wards (congregations), one Spanish-speaking ward, two single adult wards, and a care center branch.

Church is a refuge from the chaos of everyday life. Attending services and activities gives us time to worship God and associate with others who are trying to be better and live more like Jesus did.

No matter where you are in life, you belong and are needed in His Church. Won’t you please join us?
