As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in him:
Rooted and built up in him, and stablished in the faith, as ye have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving. - Col. 2:6-7"We are empowered by faithful Latter-day Saints who are disciples of Jesus Christ, not just members of the Church," said Elder V. Dallas Merrell of the Seventy in the April 1993 general conference. "The power of the Church is based profoundly on discipleship that is rooted in individual faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. Our faith is demonstrated at the waters of baptism, by worthily partaking of the sacrament, in temple worship, and in the integrity of our daily lives. True disciples seal their faith in service that is motivated by love for the Savior and for the people of the earth. . . .
"Finally, the source of the Church's power involves continuous improvement. Our most fundamental doctrines impel us to improve, individually and collectively."
