"We can all expect to face trials. But great eternal promises are extended to those who persist in righteousness. The Lord has given his word that 'any man that shall . . . fail not to continue faithful in all things, shall not be weary in mind, neither darkened, neither in body, limb, nor joint; . . . And they shall not go hungry, neither thirst.' I am optimistic about what the future holds for the Lord's church and its members, but we will have to persist in righteousness and 'be faithful in all things.' The key of the knowledge of God, administered by those who keep the oath and covenant of the Melchizedek Priesthood, will enable us to come off as sons of God."
"We don't know in detail all that is going to be required of humanity, of the Saints in the uncertain days ahead. Everyday righteous living will be increasingly difficult."
A man must enter into and keep the oath and covenant of the priesthood.
"President Marion G. Romney insightfully pointed out, 'The only way a man can make the life, for which mortality is designed, is to obtain and magnify the Melchizedek Priesthood. . . . It is of utmost importance that we keep clearly in mind what the magnifying of our callings in the priesthood requires of us . ù . it requires at least the following three things: (1) That we obtain a knowledge of the gospel; (2) That we comply in our personal living with the standards of the gospel; (3) That we give dedicated service."
