Hearing His Voice

My young brothers and sisters, the Savior calls continually to all of us, bidding us to follow Him. The Lord taught, "My sheep hear my voice, … and they follow me" (John 10:27). You have heard the Lord's voice; you have followed Him by being baptized into His Church. Indeed, you have been called. However, to be chosen is a very different matter.

Decide now that you will do whatever it takes to remain faithful. Decide to endure to the end by following all of God's commandments. Set righteous and worthy goals for yourself. Gain an education, serve a mission, marry in the temple, and support your family both spiritually and temporally. If you have not yet gained a testimony, please get on your knees and ask Heavenly Father to help you gain a knowledge of the truth. Then, when the answer comes, commit yourself wholeheartedly to the work of the Lord. Do whatever it takes to get on the path of the chosen.
