I Believe in Christ

I believe in Christ. I am so thankful for my Savior and Redeemer, my King and my Friend. I am so grateful for all the things that He has blessed me to receive—above all—salvation and the promise of eternal life. Through His love and compassion upon others, He has given me an eternal example that I can live by and refer to for every aspect of my life. Through His obedience, He has shown me the way to return to live with Him again. Through His sacrifice, He has given me the blessing of repentance and change. Through His life, He has given me the hope of becoming the best that I can be and through His death I can know that I, too, will be resurrected when He comes again. He has given me everything and asked for little in return. He has asked that I love others, as He loves me; that I would remember Him; and that I will keep the covenants that I have made through His sacrifice. He is my unending exemplar. I love Him immensely and I cannot express how much I appreciate all that He has done for me. He is my Light and my Life, and my way to true happiness. I know that when I am obedient and steadfast in His teachings, I will be blessed for the things that I do right and I will be forgiven when I repent for the things that I do wrong. The Lord loves me and I can know that He wants the best for me and that He answers me when I seek Him. I know that when we come unto Him, that He will perfect us, mould us, and make us better. He will comfort us and bless us according to our obedience and our faith.
I stand as a witness of Christ and of His teachings and I bear my declaration of His righteous life, of His redeeming sacrifice, and of His atoning death. He is our blessed Elder Brother and through Him we gain peace. I hope to continue to follow my Savior till the end of my days and I hope to gain all the faith necessary to endure and live with Him again. I love Him and I bear witness of Him, in His name, Jesus Christ, amen.
