"The Savior and His servants (See
D&C 1:38.) do not speak words of complacency but teach what people need to
know. Through the ages, history attests that contemporary critics have pressed
Church leaders to modify a decree of the Lord. (For examples, see
1 Sam. 8:4-7;
Matt. 7:21;
Luke 6:46;
3 Ne. 14:21.) But such is
eternal law, and it cannot be altered. Not even for His Beloved Son could God
change the law that required the Atonement. Divine doctrines cannot be squeezed
into compact molds to make them fit fashionable patterns of the day. Nor can
they be fully expressed on a bumper sticker." - Russell M. Nelson, "Constancy
amid Change," Ensign (CR), November 1993, p.33

"We see about us constant change. Even the pace of life itself has speeded up.
Sometimes it seems that the world is undergoing such throes of change that
people are disoriented, not knowing what is of value. Right and wrong, however,
are as they always were. The principles of the gospel are unaltered. All of
men's evil speaking and all of men's evil acting cannot alter one jot or tittle
of the commandments of God." - Spencer W. Kimball, "Hold
Fast to the Iron Rod," Ensign (CR), November 1978, p.4

"In
this uncertain world, there are some things that never change: the perfect love
of our Heavenly Father for each of us; the assurance that He is there and will
always hear us; the existence of absolute, unchanging truths; the fact that
there is a plan of happiness; the assurance that success in life is attained
through faith in Jesus Christ and obedience to His teachings because of the
redemptive power of His Atonement; the certainty of life after death; the
reality that our condition there is set by how we live here. Whether one does or
does not accept these truths does not alter their reality. They are the
fundamental building blocks of a living testimony. A strong testimony is the
unshakable foundation of a secure, meaningful life where peace, confidence,
happiness, and love can flourish. It is anchored in a conviction that an
all-knowing God is in command of His work. He will not fail. He will keep His
promises."

Ensign (CR), November 2001, p.87

“The battle of life is essentially a battle between obedience or disobedience to
eternal law; between good and evil; between right and wrong. The Lord desires
His children to win salvation; Satan, an apostate son of God, seeks to enslave
them in his own dark kingdom.” - John A. Widtsoe,
“Evidences and Reconciliations,” p. 217

“Embedded in the gospel of Jesus Christ there are eternal principles and truths
that will last far longer than the principles of building ships and roofs. You
and I, as members of the Lord’s true Church, have special access and insight
into these eternal principles and truths, especially when we listen to the
Spirit for individual guidance and hear the prophet’s voice as he declares the
will of God to the members of the Church. You and I both know how important
these eternal principles and truths are in our lives. I’m not sure those early
pioneers could have faced the perils and uncertainties of the future without
them, and neither can we. They are the only true and eternal way to face the
future, especially in these increasingly perilous and uncertain times in which
we now live.” – L. Tom Perry, “The Past Way of Facing
the Future,” Ensign, November 2009
