1Nephi The Restoration EFY CTR YSA LDS Church Jesus Christ Latter Day Saints First Vision God Father Son Gospel Restore
Description: http://www.mormon.org/mormonorg/eng/ Each of us is a child of God. He is our Heavenly Father, who loves us and wants us to return to live with Him. We can do this by living the gospel of Jesus Christ. Throughout time, God has repeatedly reached out in love to His children by revealing this gospel to prophets such as Adam, Noah, Abraham, and Moses. However, people repeatedly chose to reject the prophets and their teachings. Two thousand years ago, God sent His son, Jesus Christ, to atone for the sins of the world and to overcome death. Jesus also taught His gospel, chose Apostles, and established His Church. He gave His Apostles priesthood authority to perform ordinances and direct them to take His gospel into all the world. But just as the prophets were rejected in previous ages, the people rejected and killed His Apostles. As a result, priesthood authority was taken from the earth. Because of God's love for His children He reached out to us, just as He has done in the past. This video presents the glorious beginning of the restoration of the gospel of Jesus Christ in our time through the prophet Joseph Smith. It confirms that our Heavenly Father heard a humble prayer and through Joseph Smith restored the fullness of the gospel of Jesus Christ once again upon the earth. How can I know this is true? Your Heavenly Father is the source of all truth. He loves you and wants to answer your questions. Therefore, He will help you recognize the truth as you sincerely seek it and ask Him for guidance. You can know if the things you are learning are true if you ask your Heavenly Father in prayer. He desires for you to know the truth, and you can receive an answer from Him through the Holy Ghost. As taught in the Bible, "The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, [and] temperance" (Galatians 5:22--23). These feelings from the Holy Ghost are personal revelation to you that the restored gospel of Jesus Christ is true. You will then need to choose whether you will live in harmony with the knowledge you have received. As the Savior taught in the Bible, Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you ( Matthew 7:7). Feelings from the Holy Ghost are personal revelation to you that confirm the truth of the Book of Mormon and the gospel of Jesus Christ as restored through the Prophet Joseph Smith. The last prophet of the Book of Mormon, a man named Moroni, gave this remarkable promise to anyone who wants to know whether the Book of Mormon is true: "And when ye shall receive these things, I would exhort you that ye would ask God, the Eternal Father, in the name of Christ, if these things are not true; and if ye shall ask with a sincere heart, with real intent, having faith in Christ, he will manifest the truth of it unto you, by the power of the Holy Ghost?" ( Moroni 10:4). You can discover for yourself that what you've been learning is true by: • Sincerely praying to your Heavenly Father and asking Him if what you are learning is true. • Continuing to study and give thoughtful consideration to what you are learning. • Listening with your heart for the Holy Ghost to whisper the truth to you. • Following God's commandments so you can feel the influence of the Holy Ghost.
