Healed by Faith: A Savior’s Promise
By Bishop Gordon Rust
Many quiet moments and life-changing events have deepened my faith in Jesus Christ, but one stands out from my mission: I was diagnosed with cancer. At a time when I felt lost, having just had surgery, I met Elder M. Russell Ballard in Washington, D.C., who testified of the Savior’s love and promised me that I would be healed if I remained faithful. That sacred moment, confirmed through prayer and personal revelation, reminded me that God knows me personally.
Since then, I have striven to grow closer to Christ, and this commitment has brought greater clarity, peace, and purpose. I testify that His Atonement is real—through Him, we find strength to endure, the power to forgive, and the hope to begin again. Let us build our testimonies together—what experiences have strengthened your faith in Jesus Christ?
