When we enter into a covenant with God, we voluntarily surrender a portion of our agency. And the consequences that come from violating the covenant are not within our control. Think of the song Choose the Right . Agency is linked to a course of choosing the right. That is why we have agency.
Agency is to be used in choosing the right.
Brother and sisters, we have received a precious gift. Agency is available in our lives through the Savior's atonement. I testify that so doing brings happiness. I want to conclude by emphasizing the unique character of this community of Saints at Ricks College. You and I have a series of responsibilities.
