My Testimony
byI truly have a testimony of Jesus Christ and his gospel. I KNOW it to be true. It is my firm foundation. It is the way to true happiness. It is a light in the dark. It is my everything! With out it I am lost and alone. I know that Christ loves me because I have felt his spirit and I have seen his priesthood work miracles in my life. I know that if I put my life in his hands and trust in him then all shall be given unto me. I am amazed that such a perfect person would die for such an imperfect person as myself. There is nothing more powerful and beautiful then his grace and mercy. He is perfect. His gospel is perfect. I believe that he atoned for my sins so that I could be forgiven of my sins and live with him again.
Through repentance I have felt the power of his atonement. I know it to be real. His work and his glory is to bring to past the immortality and eternal life of men. Everything he does he does for us. He works so that we can be with him. He is glorious so we can turn to him and strive to obtain eternal life. Christ is selfless. He has given non stop service his whole life and continues to do so. He lives! I know he does! I would give up all worldly and temporal things just to feel his spirit for it truly is what brings happiness, TRUE happiness. Life is such a beautiful thing. We have been so blessed to be able to have our free agency to grow and improve and take risks and make changes. I feel so blessed to be able to experience this life. I love Christ’s plan. I love the opportunities it gives and the happiness it brings.
I love Joseph Smith. I know that he saw Heavenly Father and his son Jesus Christ in the Sacred Grove as an incredibly faithful fourteen year old. I know that he restored the one and only true gospel to the earth again. I know the Book of Mormon to be true. I know that Christ DID visit the Americas after his crucifixion and I know that by this the true gospel was spread on the earth by the prophets of old. I know that the Book of Mormon truly is the world of God.
I can not begin to express my gratitude for those that gave up their lives so that I could have the true gospel in my life. I know that where much is given much is required and I will do what it takes to live my life where I can give back what I have been given by serving others. I know that when I am in the service of others I am only in the service of my God. This gospel is TRUE! We have a latter-day prophet that receives revelation from God. He has truly been called of God. I love him with all of my heart.
I am so grateful for families and I truly believe that the family is the most important thing that we can focus on and support. Christ works through the family. The spirit resides in the home. I am so grateful for the tender mercies in my life that never faileth me and can get me through anything. I love this gospel and know it to be true! Christ IS the one and only way to eternal salvation!
