I am so thankful for this truth that we can rejoice about together. This address has guided me for many years now and helped me to understand my worth to my Savior. Thank you so very much for sharing on this platform.

Have you been changed by grace? I love that sentiment.
To my fellow LDS who completely misunderstand Grace- Grace alone DOES save us; it is the ONLY thing that can. "After All We Can Do" exalts us- and there is a huge difference between the two. Salvation and exaltation are two completely different concepts; one being our minimal situation in the next life , the other being the maximal. We tend to consider the maximal to be the minimal, but our fellow Christians don't use or comprehend the our terminology. It's almost just "semantics," and yet it isn't.
To my fellow Christians that think we LDS just don't "get" Grace, I would assert that just as many of you believe saying 'I believe' once in a lifetime, then never doing a single thing to show your faith beyond going to church on Easter Sunday & slapping a Jesus fish on your car is all it takes to "receive" the gift of Grace. Yes, the gift is free, but you have to bother opening it in order to actually receive it. And yes, there are absolutely LDS who think they must work, work, work their way into heaven, but as noted, just as many in the mainstream of Christianity think they don't have to do a single thing (let alone repent for anything) to show they have bothered to unwrap Christ's gift and embrace it in their lives.
Great speech, Brother Wilcox.

Grace is such a beautiful thing. I love that we are not "earning" heaven but that we are "learning to be heavenly." So often I hear friends from other christian churches state that they follow Christ, that His Grace saves them, but them commit horrible sins and are completely okay with it. Grace alone does NOT save us. Grace mixed with ALL WE CAN DO is what saves us. The difference between happiness and joy is that you are happy to know that the Savior has saved you through grace. Joy is knowing and understanding that you have done ALL that you could do to appreciate that grace and to utilize the Atonement of Jesus Christ. I testify that Grace is real! A worker of the Kingdom of God cannot sit aside while the world gets worse! That worker is not saved by only grace. That worker is saved by grace PLUS his work. I know with all my heart that what I have said is true. In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.

Mormonism’s “restored gospel” is nothing like the biblical gospel–that Jesus is perfect for us.
The Bible tells us that it is the holiness, perfection, and righteousness of Christ that makes us acceptable to the Father.
Rather than an impossible gospel that requires individual, self-achieved perfection; the gift of “the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ for all who believe” (Romans 3:21-22) is a beautiful gospel. And it is very, very Good News for all who have sinned and fall short of the glory of God (Romans 3:23).

Amazing how he knows so much about Christ yet has not used one of his Words. This is the church's grace but not Christ. Rom 11:6 And if by grace, then is it no more of works: otherwise grace is no more grace. But if it be of works, then is it no more grace: otherwise work is no more work.

Hey what’s so funny about the young women messing up ? What is so funny about the young messing up? I don’t get why some of the audience is laughing instead of learning.

I feel like I'm talking to a wall... you could at least say SOMETHING. A dot. . ?

I can't express how much this message means to me.
For decades, I've struggled with feeling inadequate. For DECADES.
I tried, and fell, and tried and fell, and clawed my way uphill, reaching out waiting for His hand to grab mine.
This talk helped me to realize, that He's not waiting at the the top of the hill, reaching out for my hand.
He's been right by me. Holding my hand, pushing me forward, believing in me every.step.of.the.way.
He can't push me forward if I fall and choose to stay down, but He NEVER lets go of my hand, and never gives up on me. My heart is so full of gratitude for His grace, and I am finally now believing that He sees something in me, that He's seen all along, and though I might not see it for myself, I trust that HE does. And that's good enough for me.
