“His Faith and Hope is Vain”

Joseph F. McConkie, Robert L. Millet
Compare 1 Corinthians 15:14, 17.

“Faith and Hope”

When one has faith and hope in Christ, he trusts in Christ. He yields his heart unto Christ and seeks to do only those things which please his Master. He is meek- is in complete control of his emotions and of his desires, is teachable and malleable. He is lowly in heart- he knows that of himself he is nothing, “even less than the dust of the earth” (Mosiah 2:25; Mosiah 4:2); he knows that only in and through the Redeemer can he have hope for success and happiness here and hereafter.
