What is something that makes you happy to be a Latter-day Saint?

Answer 1

I am happy knowing I am on the right pathway to return to the Father's presence if only I keep all His commandments both out and within the Temple walls.

I am happy knowing that the Lord's true church is established here today with all its priesthood prerequisites for the furthering of man's blessings into the eternities. I am grateful for the richness and close-knit love that the sisters in the Relief Society the world over gives to all in the name of Christ.

I am happy for my good health in my old age, contributed largely in part to living the Word of Wisdom.

I am happy that I am able to withstand many of life's temptations and to live my religion regardless that my spouse is not LDS. I am grateful to her for supporting the importance of this faith although she does not accept it for herself.

These and more are some of the reasons I am happy to be a Latter-day Saint. And as important, I am grateful for the many positive LDS posters on this forum and indicated responses to this question that stand strong for the Gospel of Jesus Christ and remain united with other Latter-day Saints the world over. I thank you all for your living testimonies of Christ in your lives and the wonderful blessings He gives us as we stand true to the faith.

Don't ever go away.

Answer 2

That I have a direction in life. I know where I am going. I know what God's plan for his children is, and EVERYBODY can inherit the kingdom of God simply by the choices they make. But there is not just one thing that makes me happy, there are many. I love that I can be with my family forever, I love having the knowledge that life does not end at death. I love knowing that the good things I do here, don't end here. I love that I have the fullness of the Lords gospel and a great understanding. I know that I am a daughter of God and that makes me happy. I love that the doctrine is the same no matter what part of the country or the world you live in. When I moved to a new state- the only difference was the people I attended with- the doctrine did not change.

I love that I have a great support system. When I fall into tough times, there is someone to help boost me up. We have this wonderful system of people that help you. We also have strong youth programs, to help teach our children great values and to give them support in this sometimes troubling world. Now that I am single again, I am greatful that there is a program set up where I can go meet other single adults who share the same fatih and beliefs as I do- I don't have to meet people at the bar or online. I have formed some great friendships through this program. I love that we have a womens auxiliary where the women actualy care and look out for one another. And I love that people who are not LDS can participate in most of our programs. Lastly I am grateful that I have a living prophet who get inspiration for the church. I so thankful that there is someone guiding this church who gets revelation from the Lord that we are going in the right direction and he keeps us on track. He is the one person I can always count on leading me in the ways of the Lord. He is not guided by the changing world, the ever changing fashions and accepted behavior of the world. He is guided only by our Father in Heaven and by His Son, Jesus Christ. Those are a few of the reasons that make me happy to be LDS.

Answer 3

I know where I came from, why I'm here, and where I'm going after death. There is no question about any of these. Also, that I have the opportunity to be with my family and loved ones forever.

Also, I follow the word of wisdom, so I know that my body is free from anything that could potentially cause it harm over time. I don't have to worry about addicted to substances, and I don't have to change anything in my daily life when I get pregnant or am breast feeding. I just know that there is nothing that I take that can harm my babies.

I love that we have the opportunity to hear what God wants of us from people alive today. And knowing that we can also receive revelation if we ask God and believe He will tell us what we need to know.

I love the fact that the scriptures are more understandable because of the knowledge of the gospel. It helps me to understand what Christ really was talking about, and I know that if I have a question, I can ask God what it means, and the answer will be shown to me.

I have others, but way too many to list here!! Basically, I think my whole life is better because of the knowledge that I have. I hope to learn more and increase my knowledge through this life and beyond.

Answer 4

I really like knowing that this is the same church they had when the Apostles from the Bible where alive. When I first saw the Articles of Faith and saw that part of it, I thought "THAT'S what I want! I want a Church that's set up like it was back then, with the same authority and everything! Not some man's interpretation of what it would be, but what it actually was." For me it was the Articles of Faith that got me interested in going to church. After attending with a friend, then I began to read the BOM and after just a few chapters I was sold! I KNEW this Church was organized all those years ago, just for me - or at least it could have been. Just like Christ would have died only for me, if I were the only one to EVER need His atonement, I feel like this Church - this Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints could have (if necessary) been brought about just for me. I know it wasn't, but knowing God loves me enough to where He would do anything to help me return to Him, makes me think He would have.

Answer 5

Hey, all I can say is that I second what all the other Latter-day Saints have said! How are you going to pick a best one?

Answer 6

I love knowing that this is the same gospel that Adam and Eve were taught and the same gospel that Christ himself taught to others...what a comfort and a blessing. I love going to the temple too, I love that I, as imperfect as I am, can go to the house of the Lord and do work that is holy and sacred, I feel like that is not only a blessing but a privelage.
I love the knowledge that families can be together forever. I love my family and cannot imagine being separated from them in the eternities!!

Answer 7

I'm not a Mormon, but I'm a saint in the Latter Days.

Answer 8

I'm not a Mormon, but I'm happy to have Latter-day Saint friends because they're generally very honest.

It's a shame that they believe all that they do, but hey, whatever works for them, right?

Answer 9

All sorts of things. I love our branch. We meet with five other families and two older sisters. They amaze me and their children have been so good to mine. I can't wait for Sundays.

I love to see what the Church members do to unite with each other and help after crises. It is really inspiring.

I absolutely live for the temple. There is such a feeling of anticipation, magnificence, glory , reverence, awe....just on the grounds of the temple.

My family is such a blessing. I love hearing my little children pray. It is so sweet.

And I love the Bretheren. They are just wonderful, aren't they??

Answer 10

There's obviously the big spiritual aspects.

But sometimes it's just the little things, like I was already living the word of wisdom, so when I found out I was pregnant - guess what? I didn't have to quite anything - kind of nice.
