The Truth

When I joined the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints I wanted to believe it was the true church. As I began to experiment with the gospel I began to believe it was. Then, a few years ago as I sat reading the Book of Mormon some strange ideas crept into my head.

Is the Book of Mormon really true? Have I wanted to believe so badly that I have fooled myself into thinking it true.? Was Joseph Smith really called by God to restore the gospel? How could all these things be known anyway?

These ideas and thoughts hit me hard so I pushed back form my CCTV, leaned back in my chair and pondered all this.

I thought about five miracles that happened in my life after I joined the church. These were things that had never happened, should not have happened, but they did happen with no explanation. I thought about trying and testing the gospel for twenty or so years. I thought about how my life was and how different it would have been had I not become a Mormon.

Then, it became obvious. The Church of Jesus Christ is true! The Book of Mormon is true! Joseph Smith was a prophet chosen by God to restore the His church!

While I don't know everything I know these things. And, I know you can know them, too. You can know the truth by experimenting withe the gospel and seeing it does work. Your can know by reading and studying the scriptures faithfully. You can know thorough prayer and the Holy Ghost.

In the name of Jesus Chlrist, Amen
