Conversion and Sabbath

I really like this quote by Elder Peterson which basically tells us that we can gauge our own level of conversion by how well we observe the Sabbath and keep it holy.

"We can readily see that observance of the Sabbath is an indication of the depth of our conversion.

Our observance or nonobservance of the Sabbath is an unerring measure of our attitude toward the Lord personally and toward his suffering in Gethsemane, his death on the cross, and his resurrection from the dead. It is a sign of whether we are Christians in very deed, or whether our conversion is so shallow that commemoration of his atoning sacrifice means little or nothing to us."-- Mark E. Peterson, formerly of the Quorum of the 12 Apostles, April 1975 General Conference
