MY TESTIMONY

“I know we are children of God—a loving, eternal Heavenly Father. He created us, He knows us, He loves us, and He is wholly invested in our eternal salvation as His divine children. Jesus Christ is my Savior. Through His infinite Atonement and Resurrection, I will live again and be blessed with eternal life.

I am a deeply flawed human being. I strive to be like Christ, and I fail miserably. But there is joy in the struggle. To be human is to experience pain, weakness, and hardship—and it is for our good. The Atonement of Jesus Christ is all-powerful—it perfectly understands every one of God’s children. It can heal, comfort, strengthen, and transform anyone who turns to Him.

I know that God speaks to His children. Anyone can hear Him if they open their heart and humble themselves before Him. The Spirit is real. It cannot be measured in a lab, but it can be felt. The Spirit speaks truth, it comforts, it guides, and most of all, it reveals the love of God.

Just as the Old and New Testament testify of Christ, so does the Book of Mormon. It is the word of God—another testament of Jesus Christ. And I know this, because I have received a spiritual witness.

It wasn’t the logic of man. It wasn’t science. It was revelation.

God spoke to my heart and my mind—so vividly, so clearly—that I cannot deny it.

I invite anyone to challenge my testimony—not with me, but with God. Take it to Him. Go straight to the source. Use the divine power He has given you, and ask for yourself. Don't seek answers from men—go to your Father in Heaven, in humble, sincere prayer—and listen for the Spirit.

I cannot convert or convince anyone. That’s not my job—and it’s not how truth works.

A testimony is personal. It requires effort. It requires sincerity. No one gave me mine. I had to seek it, work for it, and ask God for myself.

All I can do is bear witness.

And if you sincerely seek truth—if you come before Him with a humble heart, with real intent, truly desiring to know—I promise you, He will speak to you.

I know it.”

“Behold, I would exhort you that when ye shall read these things, if it be wisdom in God that ye should read them, that ye would remember how merciful the Lord hath been unto the children of men, from the creation of Adam even down until the time that ye shall receive these things, and ponder it in your hearts.

And when ye shall receive these things, I would exhort you that ye would ask God, the Eternal Father, in the name of Christ, if these things are not true; and if ye shall ask with a sincere heart, with real intent, having faith in Christ, he will manifest the truth of it unto you, by the power of the Holy Ghost.

And by the power of the Holy Ghost ye may know the truth of all things”
