| Lord's Promise To You | What you must do | Reference |
| Greater power to resist temptation. | Begin a serious study of the Book of Mormon. Hunger and thirst after those words (the words of life). | President Ezra Taft Benson "The Book of Mormon --Keystone of our Religion" October 1986 General Conference |
| “It (the iron rod) was the word of
God; and
[note this promise] whoso would hearken unto the word of God, and would
hold fast unto it, they would never perish; neither could the
temptations
and the fiery darts of the adversary overpower them unto blindness, to lead them away to destruction.” (1 Ne. 15:23-24) Not only will the word of God lead us to the fruit which is desirable above all others, but in the word of God and through it we can find the power to resist temptation, the power to thwart the work of Satan and his emissaries. |
Read the Scriptures. Hearken unto the word of God, and hold fast unto it. |

Benson - Ensign, May 1986, Priesthood Leadership Meeting, p. 79 |
