This Life Is A Life Of Choice


God sent us here to make a choice to see if we will follow him. To see if we would choose good or evil. to see if we would choose life or death. The way we can choose good or evil, life or death is by if we are going to follow Jesus Christ. The first way we follow Christ is by faith in Him and His sacrifice for us so that we can repent, which is the second part of following Him. We ask for His forgiveness and strive to not do these sins again. If we do fall back down we need to get back up again and ask for His forgiveness and keep moving forward. The third part is to be baptised like Him. After He was baptised He asked us to follow Him. In 2 Nephi 31:5 it says "And now, if the Lamb of God, he being holy, should have need to be baptized by water, to fulfil all righteousness, O then, how much more need have we, being unholy, to be baptized, yea, even by water!". Then after we are baptised we are given the Gift Of The Holy Ghost by the laying on of hands. That is the forth step in choosing to follow Christ. The last step is one of the hardest steps to follow. It is to Endure To The End. What does that mean? It means that we need to follow all of His commandment and repent of our sins that we all have and continue to have. As we go through life we just keep changing for the better here a little and there a little. Alma 37:6 "Now ye may suppose that this is foolishness in me; but behold I say unto you, that by small and simple things are great things brought to pass; and small means in many instances doth confound the wise."
