With the coming forth of the truthfulness of the Gospel, to the Book of Mormon, the truth was once again restored here on Earth. The Book of Mormon is the word of God, translated by the gift and power of God, by the prophet Joseph Smith. I testify to you that the Book of Mormon is true. It is wonderful. It will lead you to happiness and joy here on Earth. Joseph Smith is indeed a prophet. Once you read the Book of Mormon, you will know that Jesus is the Christ. Joseph Smith was the prophet and this is the true church. The Book of Mormon is indeed the word of God.

We are led by living prophets today. Even president Gordon B. Hinckley who stands as a witness for Christ and as a prophet, seer and revelator. Indeed, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints has the fullness of the Gospel of Jesus Christ restored again here upon the Earth after the long, dark time of apostasy. I testify to you that God lives, that Jesus is the Christ and the book of Mormon is the word of God. And it has the Gospel of Jesus Christ within its pages and it, the Gospel, is the foundation of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.

And you can come to know that this is true too. By the power of the Holy Ghost, I pray with all my heart that you will take the time to read and study, ponder and pray over the Book of Mormon. And once you do that, you too will know that this is true. May the Lord bless you in your pursuit of truth and happiness.

I bear witness of these things, humbly and in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

I also believe that there is – actually, I won’t go that deep – I believe that the true Church was restored on the Earth and that the Book of Mormon is another testament of Jesus Christ and that it’s true and that Joseph Smith was a prophet and that Thomas S. Monson is the current prophet and I believe that – I don’t know, there’s a lot to believe so I might not get into that.

But I believe that we’re here on this earth to be tested. And everybody makes mistakes, nobody is perfect and God knew that. That’s why he sent his only begotten son that he could die for our sins so that we can be forgiven and we can return and live with him again. But only if we work on it. That’s basically the beliefs of the LDS Church and they’re also my beliefs. So I am LDS. I’m Mormon, as some may call it, but I try not to be judgmental. I know that Mormons have a reputation of being judgmental but I really try not to be judgmental. You know, you have to draw the line somewhere. I’m not gonna surround myself with bad influence but I’m not gonna judge somebody, I’m not gonna hate somebody just because of their lifestyle.

Question of the day: Do you believe God exists? Yes or no answers. Don’t start flaming wars – if you don’t know what that is, Google it.

The post Testimony of Book of Mormon and Gospel of Jesus Christ appeared first on TestimonyChannel.com | LDS Testimonies & Testimonies of Christ.

I have a personal testimony that we have a father in heaven who loves us very much. I know that he knows each one of us, individually by name. And I know that he takes a personal interest in our daily lives because we are all his children. I know that he loves us so much that he is willing to send his holy Son, our Savior, down to the earth to share the wonderful tidings of the Gospel.

Jesus Christ is our Savior – he walked the earth and taught his Gospel to help us to learn and know all the things we need to do in this life that we might find joy and happiness now, today. Through his Gospel we can also know those things we need to do and the ordinances we need to receive in order to return home and to live with him and our Heavenly Father again.

I know that Jesus died on the cross and in doing so, he took upon him all of our sins. I also know that he was resurrected. That he lives today and that because of his resurrection, any one of us will be resurrected and have the opportunity to receive immortality. I also know that we can all receive eternal life. But this only comes as we accept the Gospel, receive the Gospel oridnances and live the Gospel faithfully to the end of our lives.

We can have true joy and happiness right now. And despite what’s going on in the world, we live in some turbulent times and what a wonderful thing it is to have that knowledge. I know all of these things by the power of the Holy Ghost. The Holy Ghost is the testifier of truth. Through the Holy Ghost we feel piece in our hearts. When we feel that peace, love, hope, courage, faith, we can know that the things we are hearing and listening to and learning come from God, come from our Heavenly Father.

The invitation from Christ that he gave anciently to come unto him is still valid today. I share this testimony with you now in the hopes that you have a desire to learn more of him, to come unto Christ and to receive rest unto your soul now and to receive eternal happiness forever. I share this testimony with you and give you this invitation in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

Cindy: I sure can. First, my name is Cindy Lee Garic, everyone calls me Cindy. I am from Jamaica – this is a small island. But I’m here in Germany, I spent 3 months here and I return tomorrow. But I have been a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints for 13 years, this year will be 14 years. I’m 29 at the moment.

Woman: And single, available!

Cindy: Yes, I’m single. But I’ve been a member for 14 years and now I’m here to share my testimony with you.

Woman: So, can you tell us how you’ve become a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints?

Cindy: Yeah. At first, I was in Montego Bay which is the second capital in Jamaica. And I was living at home with my mother and one of my siblings and my grandmother when the missionaries from the church rode their bikes and came to the gate and knocked. I was in the hall, sitting and watching television and I invited them in. They came, sat down, introduced themselves and introduced the Church and from there, they taught us discussions and left a commitment to read the Book of Mormon, pray and to know for myself if the Church was true. At first I was reluctant, hearing all these things of the Church, I wasn’t interested. But I read for myself and to pray and from there I got my knowledge and got my answers that I was searching for.

Woman: Okay, thank you. That’s very interesting. And after you became a member of the Church, what kind of impact has it to you, in your life that you joined the Church, being a member?

Cindy: Being a Latter Day Saint, being a Mormon, there are so much that you hear every day when you’re out there that sometimes, you feel like you wanna hide yourself. And for me, the impact that it has on my life is just knowing for myself that Christ – he was on the Earth, he taught these things and he wasn’t accepted. But yet, still, regardless of everything he taught, his truths, he left it and gave us a choice to follow. So the impact it has on my life is that He gave me that choice and I decided to take a step towards knowing about him. And that has had such great impact on my life because my life has turned from going in the wrong direction to going where he wants me to be.

Woman: Okay. Are your family also members of the church? Relatives?

Cindy: No. I’m actually the only member.

Woman: Okay and how do you go about it? How do you feel about being the only member?

Cindy: It’s hard because your family is great – like the Church teaches. The Church teaches that families are important and families are eternal. And because the Gospel is a part of my life, I want my family to partake in it. I want them to be where I am, I want them to have what I have. I want them to feel the love that I felt from the Savior. And it’s really hard to know that they’re not a part of it, but every single day of my life I pray, I hope and I share with them when I can. So that one day I’m hoping that they will partake of this wonderful gospel. Nothing is impossible with God – but for us, in our eyes, it might impossible. But everyone can change, that’s how I see it.

Woman: You sound like a strong woman, like you’re making the Gospel your strength, taking strength from it.

Cindy: That’s what the Gospel offers. The Gospel is the Gospel of happiness. But it also offers the comfort and reassurance that, even though I’m going through the adversities of whatever right now – with my family not being a member – it offers the reassurance that they can change. Cause if I have, then anyone can. And so that’s what gives me the strength. Christ is always there, waiting for us. We leave him but he’s always there. And so, I know that one day my family will be a part of the church. I just don’t know when.

Woman: Thank you very much. After hearing that testimony and you being the one single member of the Church in your family, it’s got to be hard, I know. But like you said, you have strength, the Gospel is giving you strength. Can you give more? Like how do you feel about the Church in general?

Cindy: I just wanna share a little bit about the truths. The Gospel is the restored Gospel. It’s always been here, it’s been here from the beginning. But because man has decided not to follow it and not be a part of it, it was taken away. And so, Joseph Smith was called by God to restore it what was then. And my testimony is to say that Joseph Smith was indeed called by God to restore his truths back on the earth, 100% so that all of us, as his children can partake on the blessings that He wants us to have in this life and prepare us for the ones to come. He knows what we want. The Gospel is the only way to complete us. I’m grateful that I’m a part of it. I’m grateful that I made that choice when I was 16. I didn’t understand everything then but making the choice has helped me so much because it has given me the assurance that God lives and that he loves us and that Jesus is the Christ.

I know that The Book of Mormon is another testament of Jesus Christ – it testifies about the Bible and it works hand in hand with the Bible. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints is for all – it adds more good to what you have. It’s not there to take away anything from anyone, but it’s just to make your life better. I know that the Savior loves, lives and loves all of us. And that, regardless of our shortcomings, he will forgive us and he will always be here. The doors of the church are always open for everyone. And I’m just so grateful to be a member of this church. I wish and hope that, for everyone that watches this video, who have questions in their minds – feel free to contact the church websites or make a comment on this video – the answers are there. We have those answers. The questions that you’re gonna ask, we have those answers for you. I know that it will be hard at first, but nothing is impossible for God. And that’s my testimony.

I know that we have a prophet today, named Thomas S. Monson. I know that the church was established by Joseph Smith and that he really did have a vision. He really did see the Heavenly Father and Jesus and was instructed to found the church, to bring it back to the Earth. I know that reading scriptures every day has improved my life. I know that repentance is the greatest blessing ever. And I know that with the atonement of Jesus Christ, through his suffering that I am able to be forgiven for my sins. That justice can be satisfied and that I can be clean, which is pretty cool.

I know that the temple is a holy place where sacred ordinances can be made for time and all eternity. Where people can be married forever and not just until death. Where you can make all the covenants you can make to get back to the Heavenly Father, to live with him in his kingdom. I know that the path to salvation is true. I know that I chose to come here and that I was chosen to come in this time because it would be hard – but I was up for it.

I know that being a woman has inspired me, that it’s helped me a whole lot already. I love going to church because I love being with my brothers and sisters. I love worshiping with people who are of the same blood, of the same flesh, of the same molecules as I am, the same beliefs. I know that the missionary work is one of the greatest works that can be done here on this earth and I look forward to the day that I will serve in mission.

I know that being a mother is a divine responsibility and a divine blessing and I look forward to the day that I’ll become a mom. I know that marriage is sacred. I look forward to being a wife too. It’s hard to consolidate everything – but I know that my redeemer lives and I know that Jesus was resurrected and that’s why the miracles of life are possible.

I know that we can make it back if we do our best. I love my Heavenly Father, I love Jesus Christ. I love the Holy Spirit and I am grateful that we are given a comforter to help us. I know my church is true. I know it with every bit of me and I’m so thankful that I have it in my life. And I’m grateful, I’m really, really grateful. I know. I say these things in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
