“When I speak of having faith in Christ, I am not thinking of a passive belief. I am thinking of a faith that is active and that is expressed in the way we live. The study of the doctrines of the gospel will improve behavior quicker than a study of behavior will improve behavior. Preoccupation with unworthy behavior can lead to unworthy behavior. That is why we stress so forcefully the study of the doctrines of the gospel.”

— Boyd K. Packer
