Faith


I wanted to share something I learned on Sunday during the sacrament. I was reading in the Bible Dictionary on faith:
  • "The Lord has revealied himself, in his perfect character, possessing in their fulness all the attributes of love, knowledge, justice, mercy, unchangeableness, power and every other needful thing, so as to enable the mind of man to place confidence in him without reservation."
  • "Faith is kindled by hearing the testimony of those who have faith."
Those two sentences made me FIRST, stop in awe, and SECOND feel obligated to share my faith.  
  • We have been given every needed resource to develop our faith in Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ. It can be so EASY if we simply take the time to learn. The perfection of the Lord is what enables us to have faith--when something is perfect, there is no need for doubt. Wow, right? So simple, but so cool.
  •  I know of truth. It has touched my soul and mustered my courage. I know that our Father in Heaven loves us. I know that because of the love I feel from my family and my leaders--that couldn't exist without the Father's love. I have faith in Jesus Christ and the redemption of the atonement. 
  •  3 Nephi 18:24
    •  Therefore, hold up your alight that it may shine unto the world. Behold I am the blight which ye shall hold up—that which ye have seen me do. Behold ye see that I have prayed unto the Father, and ye all have witnessed.
