Treasure Christ in Your Hearts and Minds

DC 43:34

Hearken ye to these words. Behold, I am Jesus Christ, the Savior of the world. Treasure these things up in your hearts, and let the solemnities of eternity rest upon your minds.

Jesus bears witness of himself, “I am Jesus Christ, the Savior of the world.” In His own words He declares His true identity leaving no doubt that He is the living Christ, the Savior, the Deliverer, and the Emancipator of mankind. When Jesus appeared to the Nephite saints at Bountiful in 34 AD following His resurrection, He descended out of heaven and made His appearance and introduced himself with the words, “Behold, I am Jesus Christ.” He is the center and heart of all righteous things. He is the light and life of the world. Treasure in your hearts and minds always thoughts of Christ and His teachings. Think of the eternities ahead. Seek to live righteously now while in mortality because following death and resurrection, we will all live forever, and we must live obedient lives now in order to live eternally in a happy, exalted state. We are now determining the type of life we will live in the hereafter by the way we live now in this mortal probation.

Apply our hearts and minds to a greater sense of things of the spirit and of eternity. We become what we think about; therefore, think about: (1) Christ, (2) His gospel, (3) Living obedient lives, and (4) Serving others.

Strive to always remember Christ and become like Him.
