Week 13 - Sicherheit für die Seele

Liebe Grüße!

 

This was a great week! I am not going to write too much due to time, but I do want to say a few things that really sealed my testimony this week. 

 

After coming to Germany, I realized that there are many, many different beliefs and books out there. It is easy to get lost and confused. I think that this doctrine is explained perfectly in 1 Nephi 13-14. My dad sent me the talk by Elder Holland called 'Safety for the Soul.' It talks plainly and simply about the Book of Mormon. It really gives powerful testimony of the divinity of the Book of Mormon. 
After reading this talk, I read in the Book of Mormon. Not just read, but this time I would highlight every reference to Christ and His Atonement. The Book of Mormon is powerful. 

 

Through the Book of Mormon, not only can one find answers to literally any question, especially questions of the soul, but one can come to know of the Divinity of Christ (that is interesting to think about: Divinity of Christ) and come to know Him and His doctrine. If the Book of Mormon is true, than everything the Church teaches is true. Every doctrine and principle. Every calling. The prophet's teachings. Some people receive doubts that seem pretty small, and end up leaving the church because of it, overlooking the Book of Mormon. The Book of Mormon can resolve ANY doubt. I can testify of that because of the role of the Book of Mormon in my life, my testimony, and my conversion. It really is the word of God. It contains the fulness of the gospel that was lost during the Great Apostasy. A man can come closer to God by abiding by its precepts than by any other book. 

 

There are so many teachings and books out there. How can we know which ones are true? How about ask God himself which book, which teachings are His? The Book of Mormon can deepen anyones conversion, and convert anyone, if only they let it. 

 

Ich hoffe, daß alles gut geht! Auf Wiedersehen!
