Dieter F. Uchtdorf Quotes

Christianity is a faith in which God sent his Son to die for you.

Salvation cannot be bought with the currency of obedience; it is purchased by the blood of the Son of God.

I marvel to think that the Son of God would condescend to save us, as imperfect, impure, mistake-prone, and ungrateful as we often are.

Faith is a fruit, work, or gift of the Spirit of God, whereby a poor soul is enabled through the mighty operation of God, in a sense of its sins and wretched estate to lay hold on the righteousness, blood, death, resurrection, ascension, intercession, and coming again of the Son of God which was crucified without the gates of Jerusalem, for eternal life.

Christ died for me and you, and we embrace that or we don't.
