The Neal A. Maxwell Institute for Religious Scholarship

Elder Maxwell was a member of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles when he delivered this General Conference address in April 1994.

In the journey of discipleship we lose our old selves. The natural man and the natural woman are “put off,” and then we find ourselves having become more saintly. We see such saintliness all about us in the Church—quiet, good women and men, not particularly status-full, who are becoming saintly. This is what should be happening in the lives of members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
