LDS Quotes About Enduring to the End
“As you build your lives in obedience to the gospel and
strive to achieve your goals, do not become discouraged by temporary setbacks
and disappointments. Remember that ‘it must needs be, that there is an
opposition in all things.’ You will grow and learn by overcoming
obstacles. The Lord has admonished all of us to ‘keep [His] commandments and
endure to the end.’”
Elder Joseph B. Wirthlin, Live in Obedience, April 1994 General Conference
"George Macdonald has said that God is easily pleased, but
hard to satisfy. As a Father, God is delighted with our first and further
steps, but He knows how straight, how narrow, and how long the ensuing path is.
Again, how vital endurance!"
Elder Neal A. Maxwell,
Endure it Well, April 1990 General Conference
"Often we do not know what we can endure until after a trial
of our faith. We are also taught by the Lord that we will never be tested
beyond that which we can endure"
Elder Robert D. Hales,
Behold, We Count Them Happy Which Endure, April 1998 General Conference
"The basic requirements for enduring to the end include
knowing who we are, children of God with a desire to return to His presence
after mortality; understanding the purpose of life, to endure to the end and
obtain eternal life; and living obediently with a desire and a determination to
endure all things, having eternal vision. Eternal vision allows us to overcome
opposition in our temporal state and, ultimately, achieve the promised rewards
and blessings of eternal life."
Elder Robert D. Hales,
Behold, We Count Them Happy Which Endure, April 1998 General Conference
"As individuals, we do not know when the end of mortality
will come. We need to develop the ability to endure and complete our
responsibilities of today, however difficult the days ahead may be."
Elder Robert D. Hales,
Behold, We Count Them Happy Which Endure, April 1998 General Conference
“Your responsibility to endure is uniquely yours. But you
are never alone. I testify that the lifting power of the Lord can be yours if
you will ‘come unto Christ’ and ‘be perfected in him.’”
“This power to endure is critical in those two most
important relationships we enter into in life. One is marriage; the other is
membership in the Lord’s Church.”
Elder Russell M. Nelson,
Endure And Be Lifted Up, April 1997 General Conference
"Each of you who really wants to endure to the glorious end
that our Heavenly Father has foreseen should firmly establish some personal
priorities. With many interests competing for your loyalty, you need to be
careful first to stay safely 'on the boat.' No one can serve two masters."
Elder Russell M. Nelson,
Endure And Be Lifted Up, April 1997 General Conference
“Enduring to the end is not just a matter of passively
tolerating life’s difficult circumstances or ‘hanging in there.’ Ours is an
active religion, helping God’s children along the strait and narrow path to
develop their full potential during this life and return to Him one day. Viewed
from this perspective, enduring to the end is exalting and glorious, not grim
and gloomy. This is a joyful religion, one of hope, strength, and deliverance.”
"The blessings that come to us from enduring to the end
in this life are real and very significant, and for the life to come they are
beyond our comprehension."
