"Those who are committed to Christ ’stand as witnesses of God at all times and in all things, and in all places‘ that they may be in ’even until death’ (Mosiah 18:9). They ‘retain the name’ of Christ ‘written always’ in their hearts (Mosiah 5:12). They take upon themselves ’the name of Christ, having a determination to serve him to the end’ (Moroni 6:3).
"When we live a Christ-centered life, ’we talk of Christ, we rejoice in Christ, we preach of Christ’ (2 Nephi 25:26). We ’receive the pleasing word of God, and feast upon his love’ (Jacob 3:2). Even when Nephi’s soul was grieved because of his iniquities, he said, ’I know in whom I have trusted. My God hath been my support.’ (2 Nephi 4:19-20.)
“We remember Alma’s counsel: ’Let all thy doings be unto the Lord, and whithersoever thou goest let it be in the Lord; yea, let all thy thoughts be directed unto the Lord; yea, let the affections of thy heart be placed upon the Lord forever. Counsel with the Lord in all thy doings.’ (Alma 37:36-37.)” (The Teachings of Ezra Taft Benson, p. 11)

"Parents must first teach of Christ. We can see that not all activities we could engage in are of equal weight, even though they may appropriately be a part of a spiritually balanced family unity development program. Some concerns have higher priorities. We remember the words of Nephi as he counseled: ’And we talk of Christ, we rejoice in Christ, we preach of Christ, we prophesy of Christ ... that our children may know to what source they may look.’ (2 Nephi 25:26.) What inner strength would be in every person if he knew that the Master and His teachings were indeed his great source of guidance, his great source of correct example, his great source of help! That is our prime goal in all our teaching in the home. (The Teachings of Spencer W. Kimball, p. 333)

“I emphasize the ’all-ness’ of the baptismal commitment. Witnessing of God is not confined to a specific time, place, or circumstance. It is not something to be done once and then forgotten. It is not something to be reserved for a select few. It is not something to be jealously hoarded. Those who enter the Church through the waters of baptism covenant to do what Nephi declared: ’For we labor diligently to write, to persuade our children, and also our brethren, to believe in Christ, and to be reconciled to God; for we know that it is by grace that we are saved, after all we can do… . And we talk of Christ, we rejoice in Christ, we preach of Christ, we prophesy of Christ, and we write according to our prophecies, that our children may know to what source they may look for a remission of their sins.’ (2 Nephi 25:23, 26.)” (The Seven M’s of Missionary Service, chapter 3 under the heading, “ A Warning”)

"In pleading with men to believe in Christ and be reconciled to God so as to gain a remission of their sins, Nephi said: ’…we talk of Christ, we rejoice in Christ, we preach of Christ, we prophesy of Christ,…[for] the right way is to believe in Christ, and deny him not; and Christ is the Holy One of Israel; wherefore ye must bow down before him, and worship him with all your might, mind, and strength, and your whole soul; and if ye do this ye shall in nowise be cast out.’ (2 Ne. 25:26, 29.)
"Thus we are bold to extol his holy name, to proclaim that he is the Lord Jehovah, the Great I Am, the Creator of heaven and earth and all things which in them are. And thus we testify that he is the God of Israel, the promised Messiah, the Only Begotten, the Son of God.
"Our proclamation is that he came into the world to ransom men from the temporal and spiritual death brought upon them through the fall of Adam; that he was born of Mary, inheriting from her the power of mortality, which is the power to die; that he is literally the Son of God, in the same sense in which all men are the offspring of mortal fathers; and that he inherited from his Father the power of immortality, which is the power to live.
“We know that because he is the Only Begotten in the flesh, he was able to work out the infinite and eternal atonement, whereby all men are raised in immortality, which is redemption from the temporal fall, while those who believe and obey his laws are raised also unto eternal life, which is redemption from the spiritual fall.” (Conference Report, Oct. 1970, p. 127)
