Latter-day Saints come to know the Lord through serving our fellow man.
"Service makes us strong in our faith and useful in his kingdom. Service gives us a purpose and courage in life. It brings us closer to God and helps us refine our divine nature."
Service teaches us to love and understand others and forget our personal desires. It eliminates selfishness, pride and ingratitude and allows us to develop the virtues that the Savior possesses."
"Kindness, love, patience, understanding and unity will increase as we serve, while intolerance, jealousy, envy, greed and selfishness decrease or disappear."
Those who serve always seek to please God and live in harmony with him. They are full of peace and have a cheerful countenance and spirit of kindness. They possess the love of Christ.
"Those who serve ... are not easily discouraged, fatigued or frustrated because the promise of peace of mind and the companionship of the Holy Spirit will never abandon them."
"Christ cannot help us if we do not trust him; he cannot teach us if we do not serve him.
"He will not force us to do what's right, but he will show us the way when we decide to serve him. Certainly for us to serve in his kingdom, Christ requires that we experience a change of thought and attitude."
