Quick Quotes on Scriptures
 "I hope that [scripture study] will become
something far more enjoyable than a duty; that, rather, it will become a love
affair with the word of God. I promise you that as you read, your minds will
be enlightened and your spirits will be lifted. At first it may seem tedious,
but that will change into a wondrous experience with thoughts and words of
things divine."
-Gordon B. Hinckley, "The Light within You,"
Ensign, May 1995, 99.
"It is incumbent upon each of
us to do everything we can to increase our spiritual knowledge and
understanding by studying the scriptures and the words of the living
prophets. When we read and study the revelations, the Spirit can confirm in
our hearts the truth of what we are learning; in this way, the voice of the
Lord speaks to each one of us. As we ponder the teachings of the gospel and
apply them in daily living, we become better prepared to receive
additional light and truth."
-M. Russell Ballard, "Marvelous Are the
Revelations of the Lord," Ensign, May 1998, 32
"Brothers and sisters, I testify that the scriptures have been 'kept and
preserved [for us] by the hand of the Lord . . . for a wise purpose in him.'
Lehi prophesied, 'These plates of brass should never perish; neither should
they be dimmed any more by time.' The Lord covenanted with Enos to
preserve and bring forth the scriptures 'in his . . . due time.' Of the Book
of Mormon, the prophet Moroni recorded, it was 'written and sealed up, and
hid up unto the Lord, that they might not be destroyed.' The scriptures
which we have give prophecies and promises, and they have been fulfilled in
our day. "What a glorious blessing! For when we want to speak to God,
we pray. And when we want Him to speak to us, we search the scriptures."
-Robert D. Hales, "Holy Scriptures: The Power of God unto Salvation,"
Ensign, Nov. 2006, 26-27
"As we study the scriptures, we notice that the Savior ministered
to people according to their specific needs. . . ." Jesus showed patience
and love to all who came to Him seeking relief for their physical, emotional, or
spiritual illnesses and who felt discouraged and downtrodden. "To follow
the Savior's example, each one of us must look around and reach out to the sheep
who are facing the same circumstances and lift them up and encourage them to
proceed on the journey towards eternal life." -Ulisses Soares, "Feed My Sheep,"
Ensign, Nov. 2005, 98
