I Believe in Christ

I believe in Christ. I believe that He is the very literal Son of God, that He dwelt with God in the spirit, as did we all, before being born into this life and that by Him and through Him were all things created. He is Jehova of the Old Testament, He was crucified for the sins of mankind and rose again the third day gaining victory over death. I believe He still lives with a glorified body of flesh and bone in the Heavens and continues to oversee the affairs of this world.
I believe the Bible to be the word of God and the Book of Mormon to be a second witness that Jesus is the Christ. Anyone who sincerely believes the Bible would welcome the Book of Mormon if they would but read it for it is the words of Christ that comes to us as the Stick of Joseph. God created all people and what He has spoken to one group of people He also speaks to another for His words and truth are eternal, never changing.
I find it interesting that the scriptures teach us that as we believe and exercise our faith in Christ we will be given more and more of His word until we know all things. Those who do not believe His words and believe in Him from them will be taken what they have, their minds will be clouded that they do not recognize truth condemning themselves. We are taught that if we believe and live His commandments and teachings that by the power of the Holy Ghost we will KNOW the truth of things.
Those who refuse to believe in Christ or even God suggest it is impossible to KNOW that God lives. They prove themselves hypocrites for the only way they could know that is if it were revealed to them by some higher power which they cannot receive for they do not believe in it. Jesus taught that each one of us may know for certain whether He be the Son of God or not if we sincerely seek to the answer for it will come to us by the power of the Holy Ghost and when we receive that witness if we will be faithful to it we can never be shaken in our faith. We need not to accept it because someone tells us, we may learn truths from others who have gained this knowledge for themselves, and then as we get on our knees and pray, asking the Father in the name of Christ, He, by power of the Holy Ghost, will bear that witness to us. This is what Christ told Peter, "man has not revealed this to you but the Holy Ghost."
It is my witness that the search for this witness is worth every effort and there is no greater happiness than having that knowledge and then living the teachings of Christ. This is my witness and testimony.
