Correct knowledge of and faith in the Lord empower us to hush our fears because Jesus Christ is the only source of enduring peace.

As you do your part to build your faith in the Savior, I promise you that heaven will compound this gift of faith, and you will have the spiritual strength to repent of your sins and not return to them.”
