pam Posted March 22 Report Posted March 22 Supposedly there is a talk that Jeffrey R. Holland gave regarding the Atonement that states (paraphrasing) "coming unto Christ involves recognizing one’s need for salvation and striving to align one’s life with His teachings." HELP!! Sound familiar to anyone? Quote

I saw that one but the one I'm thinking of was a General Conference talk. I just can't seem to find it now. But thank you for trying to help. zil2 1 Quote
mordorbund Posted March 23 Report Posted March 23 Probably not it, but similar thoughts here. Quote Sometimes—and this seems the greatest irony of all —these folks invoke the name of Jesus as one who was this kind of “comfortable” God. Really? He who said not only should we not break commandments, but we should not even think about breaking them. And if we do think about breaking them, we have already broken them in our heart. Does that sound like “comfortable” doctrine, easy on the ear and popular down at the village love-in? … Christlike love is the greatest need we have on this planet in part because righteousness was always supposed to accompany it. So if love is to be our watchword, as it must be, then by the word of Him who is love personified, we must forsake transgression and any hint of advocacy for it in others. Jesus clearly understood what many in our modern culture seem to forget: that there is a crucial difference between the commandment to forgive sin (which He had an infinite capacity to do) and the warning against condoning it (which He never ever did even once).

Carborendum Posted March 26 Report Posted March 26 possibly?... Christ's Invitation: "Come Unto Me" - Jeffrey R. Holland - BYU Speeches Quote
mordorbund Posted March 26 Report Posted March 26 Quote This year millions have been inspired by the gospel study plan known by the Savior’s invitation “Come, follow me.”Following Christ is not a casual or occasional practice. It is a continuous commitment and way of life that should guide us at all times and in all places. Quote

Sound familiar to anyone? LDSBOT.com says: I found a General Conference talk by Jeffrey R. Holland titled "Broken Things to Mend" from April 2006, where he touches on themes that sound similar to what you're describing. While it doesn't have the exact wording you mentioned, it discusses how to "come unto Christ" and how important it is to align our lives with His teachings for healing and salvation.
