The Doctrine of Christ

The doctrine of Christ is such a great thing it is all about you making a choice and that makes me think of a quote by Doc. Seuss that talks about choices "you've got brains in your head feet in your shoes you can steer yourself any way you choose you're on your own and you know what you know and it's up to you to decide where you'll go well that's something well isn't that something.". Its such a great statement if you think about it. The reason why is because if you are going to follow anything Jesus Christ has set up you have to choose to. That is the first step to have faith in him and once you do that you can start to repent of the things you have done wrong in your life. After you make that choice you will want to make the choice to get baptised so that you follow Christ example and receive the gift of the Holy Ghost so that we can have the Spirit of God with us at all times as we live in a way to be worthy to have it. We learn about this in many different places in the Scriptures but one of them is in The Book of Mormon in 3 Nephi 11:37-39

"37 And again I say unto you, ye must repent, and become as a little child, and be baptized in my name, or ye can in nowise receive these things.

 38 And again I say unto you, ye must repent, and be baptized in my name, and become as a little child, or ye can in nowise inherit the kingdom of God.

 39 Verily, verily, I say unto you, that this is my doctrine, and whoso buildeth upon this buildeth upon my rock, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against them.".

As we build on the rock of Christ there is one more thing we must do to inter into the kingdom of God and that is to endure to the end. and that learn about in this in 2 Nephi 31:20

 

"20 Wherefore, ye must press forward with a steadfastness in Christ, having a perfect brightness of hope, and a love of God and of all men. Wherefore, if ye shall press forward, feasting upon the word of Christ, and endure to the end, behold, thus saith the Father: Ye shall have eternal life."

This means that you need keep living the commandments of God and living in a clean manor. The best way to keep close to the Lord is by studying the Scriptures so that you can keep learning about Christ and what he has done for you and what he will keep doing for you. I know that as you keep moving forward and living in the way the Lord wants you to he will bless you and that it will bring great joy to your life. This is a great thing that we all have the opportunity to inter into. I know it will bless your life greatly.

Living the Gospel

Mosiah18:8-10

8 And it came to pass that he said unto them: Behold, here are the waters of Mormon (for thus were they called) and now, as ye are desirous to come into the fold of God, and to be called his people, and are willing to bear one another’s burdens, that they may be light;

 9 Yea, and are willing to mourn with those that mourn; yea, and comfort those that stand in need of comfort, and to stand as witnesses of God at all times and in all things, and in all places that ye may be in, even until death, that ye may be redeemed of God, and be numbered with those of the first resurrection, that ye may have eternal life—

 10 Now I say unto you, if this be the desire of your hearts, what have you against being baptized in the name of the Lord, as a witness before him that ye have entered into a covenant with him, that ye will serve him and keep his commandments, that he may pour out his Spirit more abundantly upon you?

I know this to be true that as you come unto the Lord that you will want to help every one and to do anything and every thing you can for them. As you do this the will pour his Spirit out on you more abundantly they you will ever know.
