THOUGHTS REGARDING THE FOURFOLD MISSION OF THE CHURCH OF JESUS CHRIST OF LATTER-DAY SAINTS

This Book delves into my perspective on the fourfold mission of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, emphasizing its core values of love and obedience to our Heavenly Father and His Son, Jesus Christ. This mission is deeply connected to the life and Atonement of Jesus. Originally, it began as a threefold mission, as endorsed by President Spencer W. Kimball in 1981. This threefold mission encompassed proclaiming the gospel, perfecting the saints, and redeeming the dead. President Kimball beautifully expressed, "All three are part of one work—to assist our Father in Heaven and His Son, Jesus Christ, in their grand and glorious mission to bring to pass the immortality and eternal life of man" (Moses 1:39). (See Ensign, May 1981, p. 5). Church members serve as instruments in the hands of God, actively contributing to the achievement of this grand and glorious mission.
