God Will Have a Tried People
Elder Howard W. Hunter
Of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles
Elder Hunter taught, through Samoan long-boat races and faithful lives like Job's, that resistance and trials propel spiritual progress.
“Resistance creates both the opposition and the forward movement.”
“We came to mortal life to encounter resistance.”
“I shall come forth as gold.”
“Suffering can make saints of people”
Scriptures
2 Ne. 2:11; D&C 121:7–8; Job 23:10; 2 Ne. 4:20
