The Divinity of All Mankind

We come to this earth to nurture and discover the seeds of divine nature 

that are within us.*

"The divine nature within each one of us is refined and magnified by the effort we

 make to draw nearer to our Father and His Son."*

"Our divine nature has nothing to do with our personal accomplishments, the status we achieve, the number of marathons we run, or our popularity and self-esteem. Our divine nature comes from God. It was established in an existence that preceded our birth and will continue on into eternity."*

“How can I develop the divine nature that is within me?”*

"President Dieter F. Uchtdorf said, “God sent you here to prepare for a future greater than anything you can imagine.”9 That future, a day at a time, comes alive when you do more than just exist; it comes alive when you live your life to fill the measure of your creation. This invites the Lord into your life, and you begin to let His will become yours.*

"Because you are His child, He knows who you can become. He knows your fears and your dreams. He relishes your potential. He waits for you to come to Him in prayer. Because you are His child, you not only need Him, but He also needs you. Those sitting around you right now in this meeting need you. The world needs you, and your divine nature allows you to be His trusted disciple to all His children. Once we begin to see the divinity in ourselves, we can see it in others."*

"I promise that as you seek to discover the depth of the divine nature that lies within you, you will begin to further magnify your precious gift. Let it guide you to become His (daughter or son), walking the path back to Him—where we will be “restored to that God who gave [us] breath.”12 In the name of Jesus Christ, amen."*


Remember the worth of souls is great in the sight of God;   For, behold, the Lord your Redeemer suffered death in the flesh; wherefore he suffered the pain of all men, that all men might repent and come unto him.  (D&C 18:10–11).
