In 2024, the Record magazine is exploring six of the 28 fun- damental beliefs of the Seventh-day Adventist Church, as well as featuring a conference president on the cover. The March/ April issue examines the thirteenth fundamental belief, the Remnant and its Mission and features Elton DeMoraes, Texas Conference president. Seventh-day Adventists believe that the universal church is composed of all who truly believe in Christ, but in the last days, a time of widespread apostasy, a remnant has been called out to keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus. How does this core Adventist belief shape our faith journey?

As the year begins to wind down and the holiday season picks up, we wonder where the time has gone, yet keep moving forward at a steady, if not quicker, pace. We prepare to gather with friends and family, looking forward to thankful dinners and holy nights. During this time, reflect on God’s gift of salvation. How has your life been impacted by His grace? This issue we focus on our salvation through Jesus’ birth, sacrifice and return. How do we show our gratitude to the Lord for the earthly and heavenly life He has given us? How can we enrich our understanding of our Savior’s humble birth and promised return? May your heart continually long for Jesus’ return and may you cherish the life He has given you.
