The day after Elder Clark G. Gilbert was ordained as the newest member of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, he sat down for interviews with local media and declared his testimony of the Savior, Jesus Christ.
“I know He lives. I know He loves us. I know He can help us repent and that we can be forgiven when we fall short,” Elder Gilbert said during the Friday, Feb. 13, interview.
In a Church News video titled “Clarity in Chaos,” Elder Gilbert spoke about living in the “perilous times” prophesied by the apostle Paul.
But that commotion in the world is also what is creating what Elder Gilbert calls “the most unprecedented opportunities for the Church.”
“Ancient and modern prophets have prophesied of the last days before the return of the Savior and there would be increasing darkness, but it would make the light stand out even more than ever before. And people are flocking to that, want to know that. What an exciting time to be part of the gospel of Jesus Christ.”
