The Book of Mormon: An Introduction

Many people have heard about the Book of Mormon, but have never read it.  Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints believe it to be another Testament of Jesus Christ, just as the Old and New Testaments found in the Bible. 

If you haven't read it, I say read it.  I love its simple message of Christ and our Heavenly Father's dealings with the ancient Americas.  I love the feeling I get when reading:  peace, and joy. 

At the end of the Book of Mormon, a prophet named Moroni gives a promise found in Moroni Chapter 10, verses 3-5, "Behold, I would exhort you that when ye shall read these things, if it be wisdom in God that ye should read them, that ye would remember how ^amerciful the Lord hath been unto the children of men, from the creation of Adam even down until the time that ye shall receive these things, and ^bponder it in your ^chearts

 And when ye shall receive these things, I would exhort you that ye would ^aask God, the Eternal Father, in the name of Christ, if these things are not ^btrue; and if ye shall ask with a ^csincere heart, with ^dreal intent, having ^efaith in Christ, he will ^fmanifest the ^gtruth of it unto you, by the power of the Holy Ghost.

And by the power of the Holy Ghost ye may ^aknow the ^btruth of all things.

I have done this.  I know the Book of Mormon is true.  I know God has once again revealed new scripture to help us in mortality.  Please read the Book of Mormon, and pray about it.  I know if you ask with a sincere heart, asking in the name of Christ,  having an intent on acting on your answer, you will be given an answer it is true.   I can't say the answer will come immediately, but I do know it will come in a time and in a way that will be the most growth for you personally.

Jesus the Christ

Jesus Christ is our Savior and Redeemer.  Our older Brother, and friend.  He is the Creator of the Earth and the one who has permitted us to return to the Father.  He works under the instruction of God, our Heavenly Father for our salvation and exaltation.  He willingly chose to suffer in our behalf for the many sins we each have made and still make. 

I love this scripture I feel that it helps others understand why I love Jesus Christ. "And we talk of Christ, we rejoice in Christ, we preach of Christ, we prophesy of Christ, and we write according to our prophecies, that our children may look for a remission of their sins." 2 Nephi 25:26

I like this statue of Christ in the Temple Square North Visitors Center in Salt Lake City, Utah

I feel His open arms helps us understand His undeviating love for each of us to become more like Him.  His way is a way of peace and happiness. 

The more I live as Christ would the more I feel complete.  I find my life gets easier, despite my work load being the same.  I find myself as being kinder, more understanding of others, smiling more, and being able to focus on what is really important in life.
