Why I am a Mormon

At a very difficult time in my life I was enveloped with such great love and service from strangers who didn't know me or my family. They took me and my family under their wings with no questions; just total acceptance. The example of such Christ like love so impressed me; I knew I had to learn more about these great people and what caused them to perfom such selfless acts of kindness.

So, I got to know them through learning about the Church from young missionaries. Here I am 14 years later, still learning about my Father in Heaven, and my brother Jesus Christ. I am so thankful to be a member of this great Church.

Now it's my turn to be of service to my brothers and sisters around the world. Why do we do this? Because God lives! Because we know and understand why we are here on this earth living the life we do. Because we know what the next step is. Because we love you, and because we are brothers and sisters and that's what family does for each other. We help each other through the good, bad, and sad times.

How I live my faith

I teach folks in our church how to research their family history through the great resources we have. It is truly inspiring to know that families can be together forever and we have a responsibility to seek out those in our family in past generations and bring them into this wonderful gospel too! I bare personal testimony the doors of heaven will open when it's time to find these precious family members. God will make the path known to you, and you will come to know God through this great resource. He loves all His children the same.

I live my faith daily in my work, at home and when I am traveling. Kindness is a great door opener no matter where you go. People recognize the light of Christ when they see it, and many of them don't even realize this is why they speak to me. I have seen the doors open to me wherever I go and this is a great witness to me of the power of God's love!

Mormons believe Jesus Christ is their Savior. Why do we need a Savior?

Lorraine answered...

Because we can't get back to our Father in Heaven on our own. We need the great attoning sacrifice of our brother Jesus to help us get back home to Him.

The fundamental principle of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints is the faith in, reliance upon, and relationship with Jesus Christ. We regard Jesus Christ as the Savior of the world. Everyone on the earth today has made mistakes. All of us have come short of the perfect example that Christ set for us. The problem is the laws of God state that “no unclean person…hath any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God.” (Ephesians 5:5) Because of these laws, we needed a way to be cleansed from these sins and mistakes. God knew that we would fall short of perfection and by His grace he provided us a Savior, Jesus Christ. Being a perfect soul without blemish, Jesus was capable and willing to take upon Himself our sins. Because He paid the penalty for our sins, the atonement, we must take upon ourselves His name to reap the blessings of forgiveness. We do this by having faith in Christ, admitting and repenting of our sins, and being baptized in the true and restored church of Jesus Christ.

Do you really believe there is a prophet like Moses alive today?

LaWana answered...

Yes, I truly believe there is a prophet today leading our church and bringing blessings into the world. Why would God provide a prophet in olden days, but not now? Did He love those people more than He loves us? Did they need guidance more than we do? Is the world less confusing now than it was then? The answers to all these questions are no. It only makes sense that God would have a prophet now as He did in days of old. He loves us just as much as He did those people long ago and we need Him just as much as they needed Him then.

As is the case throughout history God has communicated to His children through prophets. God used a humble man as a prophet to restore His Church on earth who ultimately died defending His faith.
