THE FATHER-THE SON-THE HOLY GHOST

The Holy Ghost:  Testator of Jesus Christ

"No man can say that Jesus is the Lord, but by the Holy Ghost."

--1 Corinthians 12:3

The Holy Ghost bears witness of Jesus Christ. The mission of the Holy Ghost is to testify of all truth. “By the power of the Holy Ghost ye may know the truth of all things” (Moroni 10:5). If you want to know Jesus and Him crucified, to know Him as your personal Savior and Redeemer, then seek this assurance from the Holy Ghost. Humble yourself in the depths of humility, live the commandments, and perfectly honestly seek Heavenly Father in mighty prayer, asking if Jesus is the Christ, and you will receive a manifestation from the Holy Ghost that Jesus Christ is literally the Son of God, that He is the Messiah and Savior of the World. Live so that you can have the constant companionship of the Holy Ghost to guide your life and keep you on the path of righteousness that will lead you to exaltation and eternal life in the highest heaven of the Celestial World.

JESUS CHRIST: HE ATONED

Ephesians 1:7

We have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace.

We are redeemed through the shedded blood of Jesus Christ. His atoning blood gives Christ power to forgive us of our sins and imperfections. Jesus’ blood atoneth for us; we just need to apply the atoning blood of Christ into our lives through obedience to the commandments and ordinances in order for the power of the atonement to take effect in us; otherwise, we remain in our sins and fall short of the glory of God.

Jesus’ grace makes us feel rich. As we are forgiven of our sins, we become reconciled to God, and we feel peace. The peace of Christ makes us feel rich toward God, and growing rich toward God is the only true form of being rich, for herein we have potential to experience the riches of eternity in the Celestial Kingdom with Heavenly Father, Jesus Christ, the Holy Ghost, family and friends. This is exaltation, living forever in the hereafter the life that God lives now. It is all possible because of the infinite blood atonement and sacrifice of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. I know this is true.

The Atonement and Resurrection

Book of Mormon--Alma 42:23

The atonement bringeth to pass the resurrection of the dead; and the resurrection of the dead bringeth back men into the presence of God;

Since the atonement (payment for sins) brings to pass the resurrection of the dead, and the resurrection of the dead brings us back into the presence of God; THEN the atonement brings us back into the presence of God. Without the atonement of Jesus Christ, all mankind would eventually perish and become as satan, full of evil and forever  miserable.

Christ’s atonement (payment for our sins) started in Gethsemane, continued on the cross, and culminated with the resurrection.  According to the Law of Justice, everyone would need to suffer for his/her sins. But to have our sins forgiven and to be resurrection after death required a sacrifice, but it needed to be an infinite and eternal sacrifice. Jesus Christ was the only one qualified to make this atoning sacrifice.

Birth is when the spirit enters the physical body. Death is the separation of the body and spirit, when the body goes to the grave to await the resurrection, and the spirit goes to the spirit world, the world where the spirits of all people go when they die. At the appointed resurrection time, your spirit and body will be re-united and come forth to meet Christ at the judgement bar. Here you will be judged according to your thoughts, desires, and works during mortality and the spirit world existence. If you have lived a good life, obeying all God’s commandments, you can receive a Celestial body and dwell with Heavenly Father, Jesus Christ, the Holy Ghost, family members and friends in eternal life, exaltation, in the highest heaven of the Celestial world. All this is possible because of the resurrection and atonement of Jesus Christ, our elder Brother.

“For as in Adam, all die; even so in Christ shall all be made alive” (I Cor. 15:21-22).

Christ is the author and finisher of our salvation. Come unto Him and live!
