Jesus Christ Is the Strength of Youth
Elder Dieter F. Uchtdorf
Quorum of the Twelve Apostles
“Jesus Christ Is the Strength of Youth”
Elder Uchtdorf teaches that Jesus Christ is the best guide for making choices. He also introduces the new For the Strength of Youth guide.
What would the Savior say if he was here today?
He would not minimize mistakes but would encourage you to change. “Fear not, doubt not, be of good cheer, let not your heart be troubled.”
You would have a special connection with him. One the scriptures call being “yoked with Christ.”
God would want you to see your unlimited potential as His child. One day you can inherit ALL that He has.
“When you have important choices to make, Jesus Christ and His restored gospel are the best choice. When you have questions, Jesus Christ and His restored gospel are the best answer. When you feel weak, Jesus Christ is your strength.”
At the heart of God’s plan for your happiness is your power to choose. The choice seems easy, but in this world it does not seem so easy – Paul describes as “looking through a glass darkly.”

NEW: For the Strength of Youth Publication!
Personal choices should not be based on what is convenient or popular. Let God prevail.
Subtitled “A Guide for Making Choices” - new guide focuses on values, principles and doctrine instead of every specific behavior.
“The best guide you can possibly have for making choices is Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ is the strength of youth.”
Through His prophets, the Lord has been guiding His people in that direction, to increase their spiritual capacity and follow Him in higher and holier ways.
“Is it wrong to have rules? Of course not. We all need them every day. But it is wrong to focus only on rules instead of focusing on the Savior. You need to know the whys and the hows, and then consider the consequences of your choices.”
