16 Faith Strengthening Quotes From The Prophets & Apostles

16 Faith Strengthening Quotes From
The Prophets & Apostles

 

Faith is the basic building block of our spiritual life, a strong faith in Jesus Christ is vital to our survival as disciples of Jesus Christ. The first step to a strong faith in Jesus Christ is “planting” the seed of faith. (Alama 32:36) Many of us grew up singing the song “Faith” which contains this line.

“Faith is like a little seed: If planted, it will grow.”
~Beatrice Goff Jackson (Ya that is my aunt)

When I was a missionary serving in New England, our goal was to help others plant the seed of faith in Jesus Christ and His Atonement. Our meetings would often focus on strengthening our faith so that we could help others plant their seed of faith. When it comes to faith in Jesus Christ the Prophet and Apostles are especial witnesses to Jesus Christ, so I started searching for quotes on Faith. Here are some of my favorite quotes I’ve found from the Prophets & Apostles.

 

• Faith unto Salvation.

“A religion that does not require the sacrifice of all things never has power sufficient to produce the faith necessary [to lead] unto life and salvation.”
Joseph Smith (Lectures on Faith, p. 58.)

• Faith will let people repent.

Let people repent. Let people grow. Believe that people can change and improve. Is that faith? Yes! Is that hope? Yes! Is that charity? Yes! Above all, it is charity, the pure love of Christ. If something is buried in the past, leave it buried.
~Jeffrey R.  Holland

• Faith can bring hope.

Be of good cheer. The future is as bright as your faith.
~President Thomas S. Monson

• Faith in the Savior.

Faith in the Savior taught me that no matter what happened in the past, my story could have a happy ending.
~Dieter F. Uchtdorf

• How we increase in Faith.

How we live our lives increases or diminishes our faith. Prayer, obedience, honesty, purity of thought and deed, and unselfishness increase faith. Without these, faith diminishes.
~Elder Neil L. Andersen

• Focused Faith.

True faith is focused in and on the Lord Jesus Christ and always leads to righteous action. The Prophet Joseph Smith taught that “faith [is] the first principle in revealed religion, and the foundation of all righteousness” and that it is also “the principle of action in all intelligent beings””
~Elder David A Bednar

• Protect your Faith.

Because there is an adversary who delights in destroying our faith! Be relentless in protecting your faith.
~Elder Neil L. Andersen

• The Faith of a boy.

It was faith, the simple faith of a fourteen-year-old boy, that took him into the woods that spring morning. It was faith that took him to his knees in pleading for understanding. The marvelous fruit of that faith was a vision glorious and beautiful, of which this great work is but the extended shadow.
~President Gordon B. Hinckley

• Why do we need such resilient faith?

Why do we need such resilient faith? Because difficult days are ahead. Rarely in the future will it be easy or popular to be a faithful Latter-day Saint. Each of us will be tested.
~President Russell M. Nelson

• Live your Faith and share it!

One area where members can live by faith and not by fear is in our missionary effort…
Some mission presidents informed us that many wonderful members are in camouflage to their neighbors and co-workers. They do not let people know who they are and what they believe. We need much more member involvement in sharing the message of the Restoration.
~Elder Quentin L. Cook

• We can do everything with Faith.

There is no obstacle too great, no challenge too difficult, that we cannot meet with faith.
~President Gordon B. Hinckley

• Faith is a Choice

My dear friends, your faith did not begin at birth, and it will not end at death. Faith is a choice. Strengthen your faith, and live to be deserving of the Savior’s approving words: “Great is thy faith.” As you do, I promise you that your faith, through the grace of Jesus Christ, will one day allow you to stand with those you love, clean and pure in the presence of God.”
~Elder Neil L. Andersen
