Of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles

The wise use of your freedom to make your own decisions is crucial to your spiritual growth, now and for eternity.

By Ahmad S. Corbitt

First Counselor in the Young Men General Presidency

I am absolutely sure you youth can do this because of something about your identity and an enormous power within you.

God used prophets in the biblical times to relay His message and teach His children. Today, that same God is still calling prophets.

Jeremiah is smitten and put in the stocks—He prophesies that all Judah will be taken captive by Babylon.

Israel is as potter’s clay in the hands of the Lord—If nations repent, the Lord withholds the evil decreed against them—The people of Judah will be scattered.

The captivity of Judah comes because of sin and forsaking the Lord—Hallow the Sabbath day; doing so will save the people; otherwise they will be destroyed.

The utter ruin of Judah is foreseen—Israel is rejected and scattered for serving false gods—Fishers and hunters will gather Israel again, and the people will serve the Lord—The gospel is to be restored.

If the people of Judah repent, they will be preserved—The temple has become a den of robbers—The Lord rejects that generation of the people of Judah for their idolatries—They offer their children as sacrifices.
