“After Ye Have Obtained a Hope in Christ”
The faithful in all ages hope “through the atonement of Christ and the power of his resurrection, to be raised unto life eternal” (Moroni 7:41). More specifically, the Saints possess hope in Christ in the sense that they, through being willing to sacrifice all things for the gospel’s sake, possess a knowledge that their course in life is pleasing to God (Lectures on Faith 6:10). The Lord thereby identifies those who are willing to give up all things-their own lives included-for the furtherance of the kingdom, as being capable of handling wisely and judiciously a share of this world’s goods.
