Following Christ is not a casual or occasional practice but a continuous commitment and way of life that applies at all times and in all places.
"come, follow me," the Savior said.
Then let us in his footsteps tread,
For thus alone can we be one
With God's own loved, begotten Son.
All of the messages of this conference help us follow in the footsteps of our Savior, whose example and teachings define the path for every follower of Jesus Christ.
Latter-day Saints understand that we should not be "of the world" or bound to "tradition of men," but like other followers of Christ, we sometimes find it difficult to separate ourselves from the world and its traditions. Some model themselves after worldly ways because, as Jesus said of some whom He taught, "they loved the praise of men more than the praise of God"
Savior may I learn to love thee,
Walk the path that thou hast shown
Savior, may I learn to love thee-
Lord, I would follow thee.
Following Christ is not a casual or occasional practice but a continuous commitment and way of life that applies at all times and in all places.
But at least we can understand that achieving this ultimate destiny in eternity is possible only if we follow our Savior, Jesus Christ, who taught that "no man cometh unto the Father, but by me"
Is it enough alone to know
That we must follow him below,
While trav'ling thru this vale of tears?
No, this extends to holier spheres
For thrones, dominions, kingdoms, pow'rs,
And glory great and bliss are our,
If we, throughout eternity,
Obey his words, "Come, follow me."
He invites all of us who are heavy laden to come unto Him, to learn of Him, to follow Him, and thus to find rest to our souls.
