May 4 — Conquering the World Because of Him. Hebrews 10:19-20 “Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus, 20 By a new and living way, which he hath consecrated for us, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh.”

What a relief for the weary soul in knowing Jesus made direct access to God a possibility! No matter where a believer goes, His Holy Spirit is right there. 1 Corinthians 3:16, 6:19. No temple recommend necessary!
In response to Mr. Bednar’s comment in his General Conference talk, we have to ask how they’re going to ‘conquer the world’ inside a building no one else is allowed to enter?
1 John 5:4 states only those who are born of God will overcome the world. (BTW, the Greek transliteration for overcome is conquer.) The Mormon people disqualified themselves from the ability to do this because they’ve rejected the Jesus of the Bible. Their Jesus is a created being, literally begotten by an exalted man.
