Our belief in Christ

As Christians the main commonality we share is our belief in Jesus Christ.  We believe He is our Savior and Redeemer. We learn not only from the Bible of the role Christ plays in our redemption, but also in modern day scriptures. As I have mentioned in previous posts, I am a Mormon.  I know that God continues to speak to us in modern times.  I also know there are more scriptures of God's words to His children throughout the world than just the Bible. In the book of Moses, found in the Pearl of Great Price, we learn because of Him, we can be redeemed. 

Moses 5:9 "And in that day the Holy Ghost fell upon Adam, which beareth record of    the Father and the Son saying: I am the Only Begotten of the Father from the beginning, henceforth and forever, that as thou hast fallen thou mayest be redeemed, and all mankind, even as many as will."

I know that Christ is not only my older brother, but he is my Redeemer, Savior, and King.  He is the way back to our Father in heaven.  I am grateful to have scriptures which testify of Him and His role in the plan God has for us.  As it says in John 14:6

 "Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me."

I also know that we have a prophet today who continues to guide and direct his children on the Earth.  God has not forgotten us and still speaks to us.  I will end this post with a quote from our current prophet, President Russell M. Nelson, 

"I am thankful for [Jesus Christ's] loving-kindness and for His open invitation to come unto Him. ...I testify of Jesus Christ as the Mast Healer. ..."Jesus is the Christ, the Messiah, the Son of God, the Creator, the great Jehovah, the promised Immanuel, our atoning Savior and Redeemer, our Advocate with the Father, our great Exemplar.  And one day we will stand before Him as our just and merciful Judge."
