“It is not enough merely to speak of Jesus Christ or proclaim that we are His disciples. It is not enough to surround ourselves with symbols of our religion. Discipleship is not a spectator sport. We cannot expect to experience the blessings of faith by standing inactive on the sidelines any more than we can experience the benefits of health by sitting on a sofa watching sporting events on television and giving advice to the athletes. . . .
“Ours is not a secondhand religion. We cannot receive the blessings of the gospel merely by observing the good that others do” (Dieter F. Uchtdorf, “The Way of the Disciple,” Ensign, May 2009, 76–77).
