Now is the Time to Draw Closer to the Savior

In the final days leading up to the Second Coming, Jesus Christ taught His disciples about the coexistence of the righteous (“wheat”) and the unrighteous (“tares”) until His return. In a world where the wheat and tares grow side by side, how do we deepen our commitment to the Savior, Jesus Christ?
"As we strive to live as disciples of Christ, we find peace and divine guidance, even in a world filled with challenges. Elder Neil L. Andersen shared "It is a wondrous journey to be wheat among the tares, sometimes fraught with heartache but always calmed by the maturing and assuring settling of our faith." (General Conference Oct. 2022)

I regret being a tare. Let it be known the world over: if you want to be happy and love God, don't break His commandments. Keep them. Keep your covenants. The harvest is soon. I've been trying to repent, but my sins are great and my pride strong. Faithful saints, please pray for my soul.

[@churchofjesuschrist]

Hi @kalejuice5701, we all fall short and need the mercy and grace of our Savior each day. Repentance is a chance to become better. God will be patient with you as you work to overcome bad habits, addictions, and make real changes in your life. This change is possible through Jesus Christ and His sacrifice. No matter how long it takes, it’s worth it. Learn more about repentance here: www.comeuntochrist.org/beliefs/forgiveness/being-forgiven?cid=42001274

How do we stand stronger as wheat among the tares? Or how do we make sure we are not lost to the tares? How do we ensure we are not a tare ourselves? 1. Study the life of the Savior Jesus Christ and His atoning sacrifice 2. Promises, covenants, repent daily, ask for forgiveness, and take the sacrament 3. Treasure defend protect and safeguard the Gift of the Holy Ghost

[@AuDHD_Mom]

"...the wheat will GROW..." We must be willing to put in the effort to always be growing. It's a daily, hourly thing! I tell children that we pause to pray to help us focus on the beautiful things of life and all that we have been given by a Father in Heaven who loves us. And just as the moon reflects the light of the sun, we, too, can reflect the light of the Son of God as much as we get to know Him and love Him. It takes effort and consistency, but it is possible.

[@PatriciaKhauya-mf7fs]

I love Jesus as my personal saviour, my redeemer and it's my desires to come closer to Him daily by confessing my sins daily. I am happy because am a child of God

I had a dream in 2017 if anyone is interested in hearing. Where a giant eagle could not escape the grasp of the river monster. And as the people on the shore watched it get taken down into the depths, it shed it's feathers trying to fight itself free. The people on the shore ran in haste to gather and preserve the feathers from being lost and ruined. As they knew the many feathers to be so sacred and had such a power as to allow the eagle to rise up to our Heavenly Father, acting as a channel and messenger between the people and Him. And the people were able to preserve those feathers and use them to bless their people and the earth. Takeaway: Go to, and obtain as many of these feathers as possible. And keep them and use them well and in holiness. For the very sake of humanity and to preserve the connection between our Heavenly Father in fulfilling his work and his glory. Else the heavens be shut upon us. 🙏

Beware of "Another Jesus, another Christ"or another Gospel

[@anthonymixa4431]

Hi Friend, I appreciate your comment. The Book of Mormon is another testament (or witness) of Jesus Christ. The same Jesus Christ that was born in Bethlehem, died on Calvary, and rose again the third day. The restored Church of Jesus Christ teaches the same gospel that He taught during His ministry on earth. The gospel of Jesus Christ is faith in Jesus Christ, repentance, baptism, receiving the Holy Ghost, and enduring to the end.

[@pinecone7562]

Same gospel. Only one Jesus of Nazareth

I know some are fearful but I am filled joy and anticipation for Jesus to come and wipe pain, hurt, and injustice from the world.

[@warrenallen4200]

Can some of you help me understand why the world looks forward to a second coming that Jesus, the apostles, Josephus and at least 4 respected first century Roman historians say happened in 73 AD? Are we sure that we are not looking forward to the third coming of Jesus Christ just like the book of Revelations says we are?

[@warrenallen4200]

@ And if I show this, do you promise to explain the reasoning for the world’s ignoring the second coming and the looking forward to past events?

[@warrenallen4200]

@@travismarin2595 Alright Travis. The evidence of the second coming is hidden in plain sight in the scriptures. If you are interested, I will get you started on the path. If not, I understand. I’m sure you are accomplished and proficient at scripture study. Let’s start with Matthew 16. In M 16 Jesus began to open the eyes of his 12 special disciples as to the near future (a future they would be integrally involved in). Read verses 19-21 carefully and contemplate the foretelling of the conclusion of this first Earthly mission, including Jesus’ death and resurrection. Then read verses 27-28 and contemplate Jesus return “in the glory of the Father…with His angels (not the Father’s angels)…and reward man according to their works”. (Three distinct aspects of the second coming.) Then Jesus says to His disciples SOME of them will live to see the second coming. Not one or two, but some. If this peaks your interest, I will show you more tomorrow night.
