Of Most Worth

And now, behold, I say unto you, that the thing which will be of the most worth unto you will be to declare repentance unto this people, that you may bring souls unto me, that you may rest with them in the kingdom of my Father. Amen. DOCTRINE & COVENANTS 15:6

The Church of Jesus Christ is a vehicle for the salvation of God’s children on earth. It provides the means whereby members receive the ordinances of salvation, engage together in a work of organized sacrifice, and gather to socialize with others with similar moral values. The Church offers numerous avenues for growth — various opportunities for learning, living, and sharing the gospel. The great mission of the Church is to “invite all to come unto Christ” (D&C 20:59). That mission is accomplished most directly by thousands of missionaries throughout the globe proclaiming the gospel and by sharing personal witness with neighbors and relatives boldly but without overbearance (Alma 38:12). The Prophet Joseph Smith taught that “after all that has been said, the greatest and most important duty is to preach the Gospel” (Teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith, 113). Such teaching is of greatest worth and brings the greatest satisfaction (D&C 18:10-16). (Robert L. Millet and Lloyd D. Newell. Draw Near Unto Me: Daily Reflections on the Doctrine and Covenants. 47)
