Work is a central idea in the beliefs of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, or the Mormons. The purpose of life for Latter-day Saints is not only to achieve eternal life, but to build up the kingdom of God on earth in preparation for the Second Coming of Christ. Since the Mormon Church has a lay clergy, all active members have work to do in their own wards and stakes. Latter-day Saints also have work to do in their communities, in their families, and in the world. It is the Lord's work.

  • Work is a central idea in the beliefs of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, or the Mormons.

Since the Mormon Church has a lay clergy, all active members have work to do in their own wards and stakes. Latter-day Saints also have work to do in their communities, in their families, and in the world. It is the Lord's work. I know without question, my brothers and sisters, that God lives. I testify to you that this is His work. I testify as well that our Savior Jesus Christ is at the head of this Church, which bears His name. I know that the sweetest experience in all this life is to feel His promptings as He directs us in the furtherance of His work. I felt those promptings as a young bishop, guided to the homes where there was spiritual—or perhaps temporal—want. I felt them again as a mission president in Toronto, Canada, working with wonderful missionaries who were a living witness and testimony to the world that this work is divine and that we are led by a prophet. I have felt them throughout my service in the Twelve and in the First Presidency and now as President of the Church. I testify that each one of us can feel the Lord’s inspiration as we live worthily and strive to serve Him.
