Elder Jeffrey R. Holland
“True charity … is shown perfectly and purely in Christ’s
unfailing, ultimate, and atoning love for us. … It is that charity—his pure
love for us—without which we would be nothing, hopeless, of all men and women
most miserable. …
“Life has its share of fears and failures. Sometimes things
fall short. Sometimes people fail us, or economies or businesses or governments
fail us. But one thing in time or eternity does not fail us—the pure love of
Christ” (Christ and the New Covenant [1997], 337).
