Amy's Testimony

I would like to bear my testimony of the truthfulness of the gospel of Jesus Christ. I know the gospel is true. Everything in this world reminds me of its truth. I know that the things I experience, love that I feel, and peace that I have are evidences of Heavenly Father’s love for me. I am his daughter and he wants me to be happy. I know that Jesus Christ is our Savior, and atoned for me that I may return to my Heavenly Father. I know that Joseph Smith was a true prophet and the man that restored the true church on the earth. I know that Thomas S. Monson is the true prophet today. He loves us, he prays for us and protects us when we listen and follow his counsel. I am so grateful for the knowledge of eternal families. I know that because of our temple sealing Jimmy and I will be together forever as long as we keep the covenants we have made. I know that when we follow all of God’s commandments we are blessed. There are many times in life that test us and try our faith, but when we stand firm we will always come out on top because the Lord loves us and is with us always. I testify of these things in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.

Jim's Thoughts

I would love to take this opportunity to share my testimony of our lord and Savior Jesus Christ. I am constantly humbled by the blessings he has brought to me. As I ponder the path that has lead me to this point in life. I can do nothing but smile at his direction, love and protection that has come my way. I have been blessed beyond all expectations with the most beautiful and amazing eternal companion I could have ever dreamed for. The spirit that she carries with her has inspired me beyond all words; I hope and pray that I can keep up with her love for life, and her constant efforts to stay on that narrow path back to our Heavenly Father. I know I never could have found her without the love and forgiveness that the Savior has given me, and I testify that he loves us all unconditionally. I acknowledge with all my heart, that all these blessings from the Lord have and will continue to be available to all, through the infinite atonement of Jesus Christ. I know that all men and women that walk this Earth can overcome any challenge or sin, through the Savior’s plan of happiness, and for that I will forever be indebted to Jesus Christ. And I hope that in the end, he will find me worthy to return and live with my Heavenly Father someday. All these things I bear testimony of, in the name of Jesus Christ, amen.

John's Testimony

I am a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (commonly known as Mormon). I was baptized when I was 8 years old by my father on Saturday, August 23 1969, then received the gift of the Holy Ghost by the laying on of hands the next day (John 3:5). My parents were of different faiths when I was born, but later converted to the restored gospel.

The dictionary defines the words to believe as: to accept as true, take to be true; to have a firm religious faith; to consider to be true or honest; to hold an opinion.
The dictionary also defines the words to know as: to be cognizant or aware of a fact or a specific piece of information; to be aware of the truth or factuality of.

Please let me share with you what once were beliefs for me, that through personal study, prayer and experience, have now become knowledge, things that I know, not just believe.

I know that we have a Heavenly Father who loves and cares about us. I know that He has a plan for all of His children here on earth, a plan of happiness. I know that Jesus Christ is our Savior and Redeemer, that through Him the bands of death were broken and that all mankind will have eternal life (Luke 24:36-39). I know that He is the only begotten Son of our Heavenly Father, an important part of this plan of happiness, and that He lives!

I know that through the Atonement of Christ, all mankind may be saved, by obedience to the laws and ordinances of the Gospel (Article of Faith 3). I know of the reality of the Holy Ghost, how he guides, protects and comforts us. I know the Father, Son and Holy Ghost to be one in purpose (John 17:21-22) but three distinct beings (Acts 7:55-56).

I know that the fullness of the gospel of Jesus Christ has been restored in these latter-days. I know that the boy prophet Joseph Smith was visited by our Heavenly Father and Savior Jesus Christ in a sacred grove in Palmyra, NY after a sincere, humble prayer. I know that there is a living prophet on the earth today, even Thomas S. Monson, who guides and assists Heavenly Father’s children as did prophets of old. I know that there are 12 living apostles on the earth today who teach and testify of Christ and His message.

I know that we have been blessed with scriptures to help us and guide us. I know of the truthfulness of the Holy Bible which contains the Old and New Testament teachings of the old world, prophesies of Christ, his birth and his ministry, teachings and example. I know that during His ministry he organized His church with apostles, prophets, pastors, teachers and evangelists (Ephesians 4:11-14). I know The Book of Mormon to be true and another testament and witness of Jesus Christ and that it supports & clarifies the Bible.

I know that the first principles and ordinances of the gospel are: first, Faith in the Lord Jesus Christ; second, Repentance; third, Baptism by immersion for the remission of sins; forth, Laying on of hands for the gift of the Holy Ghost. (Article of Faith 4)

I know that families can be together forever through sacred priesthood ordinances performed in holy temples and obedience to covenants. I know that the true and living church is on the earth today, that the truths about life’s great questions are now restored.

I know all of these things to be true through the gift and power of the Holy Ghost.

I invite all who read what I am sharing to seek this same truth and knowledge for themselves through personal prayer and revelation. I promise that you can and will receive specific answers to your specific questions regarding the truths of the gospel of Jesus Christ. I testify that our Savior lives and the fullness of His gospel is available. Will you seek Him as I have, and learn for yourself what you too can come to know?

Lynn's Testimony

In the same way that I know that the sun will rise each morning, I know that Jesus Christ lives and is the savior of the world. I know that God lives and is our father, and I know that he knows every single person on this earth. I know that Joseph Smith restored the true and living Gospel to the earth and that all of the keys, knowledge, and ordinances for salvation exist in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. I know that President Thomas Monson is the Prophet on earth today and that he speaks with God like prophets of old. I know that the Book of Mormon is true and I am incredibly grateful to a loving Father in Heaven for these incredible blessings in my life and in the lives of anyone who will come unto him.
