Teachings of Presidents of the Church: Joseph Fielding Smith
1. Jesus Christ is the Only Begotten Son of God and the Savior of the world.
May I say, as plainly and as forcefully as I can, that we believe in Christ. We accept him without reservation as the Son of God and the Savior of the world.
2.We become the sons and daughters of Jesus Christ through His Atonement and through our covenants of obedience to Him.
Our Heavenly Father trusted Christ to create this world. We are spiritually born of him through our covenants. Children learn how to live through their parents examples. Christ set the perfect example for us.
Christ is the Son of God by spirit and birth. But he is our father because he offers life through the atonement. He has given us eternal life. We also take upon his name, which defines our relationship to him. That's where some think that Christ, God, and the Holy Ghost are all one being. They are one in purpose, but separate beings.
3. The Savior has revealed Himself in this dispensation, and each of us can have an abiding testimony of Him.
How can we reveal to others that we believe in Christ?
-Picture on the wall
-Say the full name of the Church
-Wear a CTR ring or Young Womens Medallion
4. We all should pattern our lives after the life of Jesus Christ.
3 Nephi 27:27 "What manner of men ought ye to be? Verily I say unto you, even as I am."
1) Be baptized and believe as Christ did
2) Worship the Father as He did
3) Do the will of the Father as He did
4) Seek to do good as He did
5) Ask yourself, what would Jesus do?
