Hello, Doer of the word!

Let's dive into the invitations from Elder Ulisses Soares' April 2026 General Conference address, "Jesus Christ-the True Vine."

Invitations

1 - "[I]n this sacred Easter season, our hearts turn with deep gratitude and reverent devotion to our Savior, Jesus Christ, and remember His merciful mortal ministry, His perfect love, and His marvelous gift of the Atonement."

2 - "Abiding in Christ is not an occasional or casual act; it is a constant, conscious, and sacred choice. It is allowing His holy teachings to abide in us, elevating our thoughts and governing our words in every setting—including the digital spaces where we so often interact—and purifying and consecrating our actions unto Him."

3 - "Abiding in Christ ... is letting our daily choices be guided by the covenants we have made with Him and allowing our lives to be directed by His loving and constant influence through the Holy Ghost."

4 - "Abiding in Christ ... is choosing to listen to His voice and the voice of His servants and following what they teach, above all the enticing voices of the world."

5 - "In his first epistle to the Saints, the Apostle John taught that he who 'abideth in him ought himself also so to walk, even as he walked.' The Apostle Paul likewise testified, 'If any man be in Christ, he is a new creature.'"

6 - "[T]rue wisdom in our technological day is found in using modern tools with spiritual discernment—through the Holy Ghost—without allowing them to replace the rightful voice of the True Vine."

7 - "With patience and perfect love, He continues to invite us to come unto Him through His words and the words of those whom He has called and ordained to represent Him, to speak in His name, and to testify of Him. If we desire to bring forth good fruit, as the Savior taught, we need to receive our spiritual nourishment directly from the True Vine, for He is the source of all light and truth."

8 - "After His Resurrection, Jesus walked with two disciples on the road to Emmaus. Luke records that when they reached their destination, '[the Savior] made as though he would have gone further. But [the two disciples] constrained him, saying, Abide with us.' Those disciples invited the resurrected Savior to abide with them. Without first the desire and then the invitation, their hearts would not have been transformed, their eyes would not have been opened to recognize Him, and they would not have returned to Jerusalem to bear witness of the living Christ—the True Vine."

9 - "[I]n a world of many voices, remaining connected to the True Vine is not merely desirable; it is essential to our spiritual survival. Those who abide in Jesus Christ come to recognize and trust His voice, especially as it is spoken through those He has called to represent Him."
