A few of my favorite scriptures & quotes of Jesus Christ

These passages are more significant if you read the context that these come from.

"Yea, verily I say unto you, if ye will come unto me [Jesus Christ] ye shall have eternal life. Behold, mine arm of mercy is extended towards you, and whosoever will come, him will I receive; and blessed are those who come unto me." -3 Nephi 9:13, The Book of Mormon

"But the Lord said unto Samuel, Look not on his countenance, or on the height of his stature; because I have refused him: for the Lord seeth not as man seeth; for man looketh on the outward appearance, but the Lord looketh on the heart." -1 Samuel 16:7, The Old Testament, Holy Bible, King James Version

"The Lord works from the inside out. The world works from the outside in. The world would take people out of the slums. Christ would take the slums out of people, and then they would take themselves out of the slums.
The world would mold men by changing their environment. Christ changes men, who then change their environment. The world would shape human behavior, but Christ can change human nature."
-Ezra Taft Benson, former president of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, 1985-1994
 
"For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto Salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek." -Romans 1:16, New Testament, Holy Bible, King James Version
