“Take Strength Because of Their Goodness”

Joseph F. McConkie, Robert L. Millet
There is a power and a predisposition-spiritual proclivities developed in their premortal existence-with which the descendants of Jacob are born into this world. That is to say, they have been called. Yet only through faithful obedience to the laws and ordinances of the gospel can they be numbered among the chosen.
