The central focus of faith is the relationship with Christ, while the church serves as a facilitator of this relationship. Prophets and apostles act as accelerants to deepen this connection. Individuals often express doubts about their abilities to fulfill callings or commandments, yet binding oneself through covenant to Christ—who has the power—transcends those limitations. The Book of Mormon emphasizes conversion unto the Lord rather than merely to the church, highlighting that the primary goal is conversion to Christ. Although there is unity with the church, it is crucial to pursue both relationships for spiritual strength and empowerment.
Dr. Jenae Nelson continues to discuss Helaman 1-6, including the power of gratitude for the gospel of Jesus Christ and the Great “Coming Back” to the Church.
