Six steps to becoming true disciples of Jesus Christ — President Russell M. Nelson
In addressing saints in October 2022, President Nelson suggested six areas of focus that will help us become true disciples of Jesus. The steps are as follows:
- Increase your capacity to receive revelation. “When the Lord knows you are eager to communicate with Him, He will teach you how to hear Him.”
- Fill your life with truth. “I plead with you to be discerning about how and where you seek truth.”
- Refuse to let opposition to truth weaken your testimony. “Our Father and His Beloved Son would not have sent you to earth now if They had not known you had the strength, wisdom, and insight to be able to discern what is right and what is not right.”
- Serve and worship in the temple as much as you can. “In this day of intense deception and evil, there is nothing that will protect you more than regular time in the temple.”
- Realize just how vital you are to the gathering of Israel. “Any time you do anything to help someone find or stay on the covenant path, you are helping to gather Israel.”
- Expect joy. “True joy comes by living in harmony with the teachings of Jesus Christ.”
