Notes from a talk Jacob gave regarding conversion

I took some notes during a talk Jacob gave a few months ago regarding conversion:

1.) What is conversion?

God's purpose and glory is to bring about the immortality and eternal life of man.  We have to become converted in order for this purpose to be fulfilled.

2.)  Am I converted and how do I know that I am?

  • Book of Enos (my soul hungered, wrestle with God, change of heart and exercising faith changed his heart to be concerned for the welfare of others both Nephites and Lamanites)
  • 4th article of faith (faith, repentance, baptism, gift of the holy ghost)
  • Have an intense drive to succeed
  • Have humility

3.)  How can I help others become converted?

  • We are called to share our testimonies with others.
  • We are called to serve here and we are called to serve now.
