Romans 8 Romans 8 Elder Jeffrey R. Holland: Your Father in Heaven knows your name and knows your circumstance. He hears your prayers. He knows your hopes and dreams, including your fears and frustrations. And He knows what you can become through faith in Him. Because of this divine heritage you, along with all of your spiritual sisters and brothers, have full equality in His sight and are empowered through obedience to become a rightful heir in His eternal kingdom, an [heir] of God, and joint-[heir] with Christ [Romans 8:17]. Seek to comprehend the significance of these doctrines. ( To Young Women, Ensign or Liahona, Nov. 2005, 28).
