Elder Chi Hong (Sam) Wong, a General Authority Seventy, spoke during the Sunday afternoon session of April 2026 general conference about remembering Christ. The following is a summary of what he said.
Elder Wong’s talk summary
Five verses in the Book of Mormon use the phrase “remember, remember.” They teach these principles:
1. Those who keep God’s commandments can dwell with Him “in a state of never-ending happiness” (Mosiah 2:41). “Keeping God’s commandments is a blessing, both temporal and spiritual.”
2. Those who don’t keep God’s commandments will “be cut off from his presence” (Alma 37:13). “God reminds us that His commandments are firm and that obedience to them brings promised blessings.”
3. Salvation comes “only through the atoning blood of Jesus Christ” (Helaman 5:9). “Every assurance of eternal life flows through Him.”
4. Disciples who build their foundation upon Jesus Christ “cannot fall” (Helaman 5:12). “He is the very foundation of the whole plan of salvation and exaltation.”
5. Heavenly Father “hath given unto you a knowledge and he hath made you free” to act wisely (Helaman 14:30). By internalizing Book of Mormon messages, “we will be guided to discern right from wrong.”
Remember, remember the Savior, especially in this Easter season. “He wants us to come unto Him. Let us pray unitedly that we will keep His commandments, use our moral agency wisely every day and prepare for His glorious return.”
