"But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things and bring all things to your remembrance" (John 14:26-27.)

I have been rereading the Book of Mormon with these questions in mind: "Who am I so that I can know Christ better?" and "What do I need to know about Jesus Christ so I can grow closer to Him?" I want to know Jesus Christ. I want to follow His teachings and become more like Him and the only way I know how to do this is to read and know his teachings through reading and studying scriptures and then to act. 


As I am doing this I have had the most calm and peaceful feeling come into my life. School has started again, and usually for me, it isn't a time of peace at all, but a time of stress and worry because I know that things are going to go crazy and fall apart pretty soon. But this time, even though I know things will go crazy and there is going to be a falling apart, I am not afraid. There is this peaceful feeling that is pervasive in my life that I want to stay and never leave. The biggest difference is that I am seeking and asking these questions as I read each day. I am amazed at the answers I am receiving. 


Book of Mormon: Another Testament of Jesus Christ confirms the teachings of Christ in the Bible, that Christ lives, and loves all of us, yes, every single soul on the earth, no matter their religion. He wants everyone to hear the gospel and to live it because it is "the manner of happiness" (2 Nephi 5:27). "There is no other way or means whereby man can be saved, only in and through Christ. Behold, he is the life and the light of the world. Behold, he is the word of truth and righteousness" (Alma 38:9). 


Interestingly enough, Testament in the archaic definition is "a covenant between God and the human race" (merriam-webster). In the Book of Mormon, God makes the same covenants He made with the people He did in Jerusalem, they followed the Mosaic Law and when He appears to them on the American continent after He has been resurrected, He makes the same covenants with them He teaches and gives in the New Testament. It is beautiful and wonderful to know that He teaches the same things to all people. He loves us no matter when we live or lived. 


As I am reading the scriptures, the feeling of peace over wells me. Christ said, "But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you. Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid" (John 14:26-27). I know as I seek His truth, not the worlds truth, I will be taught by the Holy Ghost and I will continue to have peace. It feels so good! 


The Book of Mormon: Another Testament of Jesus Christ is true. It testifies of Christ and of His life and teachings. The Holy Ghost "will teach you all thing"- This I testify.
