Here I would like to share with you Principles of The Gospel of Jesus Christ. This was once a class taught during our Sunday school hour of church, back when we had a 3-hour block at church. These principles are fundamental to our religion.
For the most part, each principle will have its own post. the content of that will be based on those things as taught in our Gospel Principles book but will be conveyed through my own words.
Listed below the 27 of the 47 principles that are taught in the Gospel Principles book, each chapter is linked to the chapter in the book.
- Our Heavenly Father
- Our Heavenly Family
- Jesus Christ, Our Chosen Leader, and Savior
- Freedom to Choose
- The Holy Ghost
- Praying to Our Heavenly Father
- Prophets of God
- Scriptures
- *The Atonement
- *Faith in Jesus Christ
- *Repentance
- *Baptism
- *The Gift of the Holy Ghost
- The Sacrament
- The Sabbath Day
- Fasting
- Sacrifice
- Service
- The Lord’s Law of Health
- Charity
- Honesty
- Tithes and Offerings
- Missionary Work
- Obedience
- The Family Can Be Eternal
- The Law of Chastity
The items listed in bold are the principles that are at the heart of every disciple of Jesus Christ. Becoming a member of His Church requires that first we have faith in Him. Once we have faith we are instructed to repent of our sins and transgressions. It is through the Atonement that we become clean of our sins when we are baptized. Only then do we receive the gift of the Holy Ghost to be our constant companion as we strive to live worthily of His influence.
As always, if you have any questions I am here to help. In the event, I am not able to help you I will find someone who can better assist us in our learning efforts. This is just as much a learning experience for me as I hope it will be for you.
