The Peaceable Followers of Christ


 For the natural man is an enemy to God, 

and has been from the fall of Adam, 

and will be, forever and ever, 

unless he yields to the enticings of the Holy Spirit

and putteth off the natural man and 

becometh a saint through the atonement of Christ the Lord, 

and becometh as a child

submissive, meek, humble, patient, full of love, 

willing to submit to all things which 

the Lord seeth fit to inflict upon him, 

even as a child doth 

submit to his father.

 Mosiah 3:19



There is peace in Christ
There is peace in Christ
When we learn of Him
Feel the love He felt for us
When He bore our sins
Listen to His words
Let them come alive
If we know Him as He is
There is peace in Christ
He gives us hope
When hope is gone
He gives us strength
When we can't go on
He gives us shelter
In the storms of life
When there's no peace on Earth
There is peace in Christ
There is peace in Christ
When we walk with him
Through the streets of Galilee to Jerusalem
Mend the broken hearts
Dry the tear-filled eyes
When we live the way He lives
There is peace in Christ
He gives us hope
When hope is gone
He gives us strength
When we can't go on
He gives us shelter
In the storms of life
When there's no peace on Earth
There is peace in Christ
He gives us hope
When hope is gone
He gives us strength
When we can't go on
He gives us shelter
In the storms of life
When there's no peace on Earth
There is peace in Christ
When there's no peace on Earth

"I love the gospel of our Lord and Savior. 

It has brought into my life 

the greatest peace of mind, joy, and happiness 

I could ever hope to find on this earth. 

I pray that each of us might be willing and able to share this pearl of great price—

a pearl of lasting and singular beauty—

with all of our Heavenly Father’s children, 

that we may go forward 

armed with the gospel of our Lord and Savior. 

This is His work in which we’re engaged. 

God lives. Jesus is the Christ, the Savior of the world. 

This is my solemn witness to you, 

in His holy name, amen."

“The Peaceable Followers of Christ

By Elder L. Tom Perry

Of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles

Let us be peaceable followers of Christ...

 “Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy.

“But I say unto you, 

Love your enemies, 

bless them that curse you, 

do good to them that hate you, 

and pray for them which despitefully use you, 

and persecute you.”

Matthew 5:43-44

 

“But love ye your enemies, 

and do good, 

and lend, hoping for nothing again; 

and your reward shall be great, 

and ye shall be the children of the Highest: 

for he is kind unto the 

unthankful and to the evil.”

Luke 6:35


“Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, 

To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, 

and to keep himself unspotted from the world.”

 James 1:27 


“But charity is the pure love of Christ, 

and it endureth forever; 

and whoso is found possessed of it at the last day, 

it shall be well with him.”

 Moro. 7:47


Wherefore, I would speak unto you that are of the churchthat are the peaceable followers of Christ, 

and that have obtained a sufficient hope 

by which ye can enter into the rest of the Lord, 

from this time henceforth 

until ye shall rest with him in heaven.

And now my brethren, 

I judge these things of you because of your

peaceable walk with the children of men.

Moroni 7:3–4

Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in                                                                   ordinances; 

for to make in himself of twain one new man, 

so making peace;

Ephesians 2:14-14


“Peace I leave with you; 
my peace I give you. 
I do not give to you as the world gives. 
Do not let your hearts be troubled 
and do not be afraid.”
John 14:27
