How do I obtain a living, abiding faith?

President Joseph Fielding Smith answers:

… If we want to have a living, abiding faith, we must be active in the performance of every duty as members of this Church. …

I can't pick and choose duties. I can't do really well in my Church calling and then excuse myself for not doing my home teaching duties. I have to perform every duty. This is a great challenge for me (specifically referring to home teaching again). But a worthy one!
