Thinkin' about The Book of Mormon

The Book of Mormon is the keystone to our religion. Have you ever seen a keystone? A keystone is what they use in an arch. It is what holds both sides of the arch together. Without it, the whole thing would just crumble. It would be gone without a trace.

 

 

 

 

Its the same thing with the Book of Mormon. The Book of Mormon is what holds the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints together. I really like the Book of Mormon. To be honest, its way hard for me to read it sometimes, especially if I have been tired or just had a bad day, or whatever it is. But I can tell you the power that comes from reading the book. Its just so cool to know that because of that book, and because of the love of Jesus Christ, we can know that the Church is true. I know it, because I have read it, and I have prayed about it. There is no way that it isn't true.

 

There's a really cool movie called the Testaments. It tells the life of Jesus Christ in both Jerusalem and the American continents. (Kind of a cheesy movie.) There is one part at the end of that movie (and, go figure, kind of the key part of the Book of Mormon) when Jesus Christ appears to the people in the Americas, fulfilling a LOT of prophecies about his coming.

 

That part just tears me apart. Now, I'm not a big crying type of person, but for some reason I just get so teared up while he's talking to those people. I think it is because I wonder what it would be like to have been one of the blessed people to have been there when He was there. Could you imagine? I try to and I am just so glad that we have a record of that happening. Heavenly Father loves all of his children, and he made it possible for all of them to be able to receive the blessings of the Atonement of Jesus Christ. Of course Christ loves each and every one of us, as well. That is why He blessed everyone and visited everyone. Even Christ Himself said "Other sheep I have which are not of this fold, them also I must bring. And they shall hear my voice, and their shall be one fold, and one shepherd."

 

I really promise that the Book of Mormon is true. You as well, can know. I promise it will bless your life. It will bring happiness you never knew existed. One more thing - the Book of Mormon is either true, or it isn't. There is no middle ground. It is just up to you to decide whether or not you want to put it to the test. Read it and pray about it. That is the only thing you can do.
