Commenting on the positive things “Mormonism” brings to the world, Adam S. Bennion wrote the following:
A Philosophy of Grace and Works. So often in discussions men get lost as between faith and grace and works. It is clear that our redemption is made possible by that the greatest gift of God to man can be realized without effort. Such an idea runs counter to the scripture and to every experience we have in life. It squares with reason that when we have done all that we can in and of ourselves, then God sublimates our efforts through his mercy. (Adam S. Bennion, The Candle of the Lord [Salt Lake City: Deseret Book Company, 1958], 81)
