Building Zion in your community begins with fostering love, unity, and service among your neighbors. By living the gospel of Jesus Christ and seeking to uplift others, you can create a spirit of belonging and harmony that reflects God’s kingdom.
Scripture
“And blessed are they who shall seek to bring forth my Zion at that day, for they shall have the gift and the power of the Holy Ghost; and if they endure unto the end they shall be lifted up at the last day, and shall be saved in the everlasting kingdom of the Lamb; and whoso shall publish peace, yea, tidings of great joy, how beautiful upon the mountains shall they be.”—1 Nephi 13:37
Quote
“Each one of us can build up Zion in our own lives by being pure in heart.”—Bruce R. McConkie
