Am I Good Enough? Will I Make It?

October 2016 General Conference

As a man struggling to keep the commandments of God, this comforting

I remember meeting Elder Cornish later that night during the Priesthood Session in Plaza 1, and after shaking hands with him, the first thing I said to him was "I really appreciated your talk this morning. It was incredible." He exchanged a few words with my mission president and then went up to sit with the brethren. Elder Cornish later spoke to our mission and two of the things he said were as follows: "President Tate asked me to speak to your mission for a purpose that I do not normally accept: he asked me to speak to you based on the conference talk I recently gave in October. That is an unusual request. But I know the Lord needs this to happen, so I happily accepted the invitation to speak to you this afternoon." This talk was basically a 45 minute version of this 10 minute talk, just with more emphasis and points that were not previously mentioned or elaborated during General Conference. The second thing that he mentioned was mind-blowing: "Remember this one important thing dear Elders and Sisters: being wrong is COMPLETELY OKAY! We are going to be wrong many times in our lives. My wife never lets me forget that! But, we have to remember that even if and when we are wrong, we need to recognize it and be humble enough to change to become more and more like Christ. Remember this one fact: Satan was cast out of heaven for rebellion. What does this mean Elders and Sisters? Satan was NOT cast out of heaven for being wrong. (5 second pause) He was not cast out of heaven for being wrong. He was cast out of heaven (3 second pause) because he Would. Not. Change. The minute we decide that we are not going to change is when our path towards eternal life becomes blocked and impassable. Keep repenting and keep trying to improve."

I really love this talk. Elder Cornish really nailed it with this talk. " If we truly repented, our former sins will not keep us from being exalted".

[MikeybthInfantryBrigade]

We are saved by Faith in Jesus Christ and not of ourselves. There is nothing we can do to please God. Only His Son pleased Him. And by His wounds we are healed from everything

i always get depressed at church because I can't shake the feeling that I'm at the bottom in the church. I'll remember the messages and try not to compare myself to others at church.

[jesusisking]

he's so sincere and this truth is beautiful. I am happy :)

[gracerichardson]

The atonement truly is an amazing gift we have. Thank you dear brother Jesus for it. I am grateful to know I am good enough as I strive to live the gospel.

[hollayevladimiroff]

God gave us the free gift of grace without works, sad that you, as a Mormon must work your way to heaven, the truth is, all you need to do is to know and believe in Him, out of that love you will please Him.

This message truly warmed my heart, the world expects so much from us and the feeling of inadequacy can be so overwhelming especially when I feel I am not achieving as much as the next person. I needed this message in my life.

[MANIVAKA]

I thank HEAVENLY FATHER, & beloved HOLY HEAVENLY MOTHER, for the amazing message from Apostle CORNISH.

[sharonflay]

It felt like like he was talking to me 💯 😀

[midnight]

This is my favorite talk since I became a member of the church of Jesus Christ of
Latter - Day Saints.

[pinecone]

Ive asked these questions a lot through the years. Repentance can be difficult but that's why the Lord came to earth and lived perfectly and atoned for our sins. May we strive to be better!

[nightlight]

I was never worried about being good enough before knowing God...Now I have sometime anxious feeling about feeling of being inadequate or doubts about life.

[kellymcdonald]
