Elder Christofferson concludes multiweek Utah Area conference

PROVO, Utah — In his two most-recent general conference addresses, Elder D. Todd Christofferson of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles spoke about the doctrine of belonging and being one in Christ.

On Sunday, Aug. 20, he further built on the topic of unity, to include how young single adults can gather together in Christ by being armed with righteousness. His devotional was given in the Marriott Center at Brigham Young University and concluded the “Together in Christ” Utah Area YSA Conference.

“To me, ‘Together in Christ’ suggests that our individual commitment and loyalty to Christ quite naturally draw us together,” said Elder Christofferson. “... Being ‘armed with righteousness’ (1 Nephi 14:14), we want to gather others likewise ‘armed with righteousness’ and invite everyone who will to come together with us in Christ.”

In his address — which can be viewed on broadcasts.ChurchofJesusChrist.org — the Apostle spoke on what it means to (1) be a righteous person, (2) draw upon the righteousness of God and (3) be protected by righteousness.
