A sessão da manhã de domingo da 194ª Conferência Geral Semestral de A Igreja de Jesus Cristo dos Santos dos Últimos Dias foi encerrada com um contraste do Salvador.
Presidente Henry B. Eyring, segundo conselheiro na Primeira Presidência, discursou sobre a simplicidade do evangelho do Salvador, que é a fé em Jesus Cristo, o arrependimento, o batismo, o recebimento do dom do Espírito Santo e a perseverança até o fim.
“Presto testemunho da obra sagrada de ensinar aos filhos do Pai Celestial a doutrina simples de Jesus Cristo, que nos permite ser espiritualmente purificados e, finalmente, sermos recebidos na presença de Deus, para vivermos com Ele e Seu Filho em glória para sempre em família”, disse Presidente Eyring.
