"The Lord has revealed himself and his perfect character, possessing in their fulness all the attributes of love, knowledge, justice, mercy, unchangeableness, power, and every other needful thing, so to enable the mind of man to place confidence in him without reservation.
Strong faith is developed by obedience to the gospel of Jesus Christ."
And I thought to myself,
How amazing it is that we have the scriptures, which are made by God, we hear the creation story, which tells us of all the things that he has made. That we have countless scripture and church stories, that tell us of the nature of God. How great to have a living prophet who tells us once again the nature of our God, and the will of God.
In our church, Our Heavenly Father and our Savior show us what they have created, so that we might understand their love, their workings, their law, their very natures. BY THEIR FRUITS YE SHALL KNOW THEM. As we learn of the 'fruits' that God and the Savior have, we draw closer to them. When we understand the Nature of God, and how God works, we can have UNRESERVED FAITH IN HIM. Because our faith is based on truths. Reality. The way things really are. God loves us. He is intimately concerned and connected to our daily lives. As we come to know him, we come to know ourselves.
Is'nt the gospel wonderful! Learning in the gospel makes life so enjoyable and Full!
