Isaiah 52:7
How great is his joy in the soul
that repenteth! …
And if it so be that you should
labor all your days in crying repentance unto this people, and bring, save it
be one soul unto me, how great shall be your joy with him in the kingdom of my
Father!
And now, if your joy will be great
with one soul that you have brought unto me into the kingdom of my Father, how
great will be your joy if you should bring many souls unto me!
Doctrine
& Covenants 18:13, 15-16
Therefore, O ye that embark in the service of God, see that
ye serve him with all your heart, might, mind and strength, that ye may stand
blameless before God at the last day.
Doctrine &
Covenants 4:2
Say not ye, There are yet
four months, and then cometh harvest? behold, I
say unto you, Lift up your eyes, and look on the fields; for they are white
already to harvest.
And he that reapeth
receiveth wages, and gathereth fruit unto life eternal: that both he that
soweth and he that reapeth may rejoice together.
John 4:35-36
For
behold, the Lord doth grant unto all nations, of their own nation and tongue,
to teach his word, yea, in wisdom, all that he seeth fit that they should have;
therefore we see that the Lord doth counsel in wisdom, according to that which
is just and true.
I
know that which the Lord hath commanded me, and I glory in it. I do not glory
of myself, but I glory in that which the Lord hath commanded me; yea, and this
is my glory, that perhaps I may be an instrument in the hands of God to bring
some soul to repentance; and this is my joy.
Alma 29:8-9
For, verily, the sound must go forth from this place
into all the world, and unto the uttermost parts of the earth—the gospel must
be preached unto every creature, with signs following them that believe.
Doctrine &
Covenants 58:64
Now
these sons of Mosiah were with Alma at the time the angel first appeared unto
him; therefore Alma did rejoice exceedingly to see his brethren; and what added
more to his joy, they were still his brethren in the Lord; yea, and they had
waxed strong in the knowledge of the truth; for they were men of a sound
understanding and they had searched the scriptures diligently, that they might
know the word of God.
But
this is not all; they had given themselves to much prayer, and fasting;
therefore they had the spirit of prophecy, and the spirit of revelation, and
when they taught, they taught with power and authority of God.
Alma 17:2-3
Yea, and from that time even until now, I have labored without ceasing, that I might bring souls unto repentance; that I might bring them to taste of the exceeding joy of which I did taste; that they might also be born of God, and be filled with the Holy Ghost.
