These verses have played a big part in my life, how has what is said affected you in your life?

D&C 6: 21 Behold, I am Jesus Christ, the Son of God. I am the same that came unto mine own, and mine own received me not. I am the light which shineth in darkness, and the darkness comprehendeth it not.
22 Verily, verily, I say unto you, if you desire a further witness, cast your mind upon the night that you cried unto me in your heart, that you might know concerning the truth of these things.
23 Did I not speak peace to your mind concerning the matter? What greater witness can you have than from God?
24 And now, behold, you have received a witness; for if I have told you things which no man knoweth have you not received a witness?

Answer 2

Boy, do I have a story for y'all!!!

Once I had a really tough decision- rock and a hard spot!... The decisions between a good choice and a bad are easy to make, but the choices that are between a bad and a bad... or a good and a good-- those are tough!!

This particular decision was between two good choices. There was no clear-cut "best" option. I'd been praying and fasting about this decision for about 3 months, with no progress. Even after talking with friends, parents, other mentors, I still really didn't know what I should do.

One night, I went to talk to a friend.... and we talked for a pretty long time, too. On the way home, I was thinking about the whole situation AGAIN, and I though, "Ok, I've been trying to see option A as the right thing, and I haven't felt calm and confident about it, just worried- what if THAT is my answer? What if option B is the right thing for me right now?...."

At that moment, I felt as if an arm wrapped around my shoulders, and the thought, "That's what I've been trying to tell you," came into my mind.

I knew that option B was what I needed to be doing at that time in my life.

Too often we look for signs & wonders to affirm our testimonies and question the witness of the Holy Spirit as it whispers to our souls. But that peace which cometh from God is so profound - in it one can listen and hear the questions which perplex not only mankind, but all the universe answered. These verses remind us to trust ourselves and have not only faith, but confidence in our quiet testimonies and witnesses pertaining to the kingdom of God.

Answer 5

Have your ever apprehensive approximately wether of no longer you relatively are a Christian? A Christian is everyone who has the Spirit of God residing in him. in case you have essentially depended on Christ on your salvation and recognized him as Lord, then the Holy Spirit has come into your existence, and you're a Christian. you will no longer be attentive to the Holy Spirit has come while you're waiting for a definite feeling; you would be attentive to he has come because of the fact Jesus promised he could. while the Holy Spirit is working interior you, you will have self assurance that Jesus Christ is God's Son and that eternal existence comes from him(1John 5:5), you will start to act as Christ directs(Romans 8:5, Galatians 5:22,23), you will discover help on your every day issues and on your praying(Romans 8:26,27), you would be empowered to serve God and do his will(Acts a million:8 Romans 12:6ff); and you will grow to affix God's plan to construct up his church(Ephesians 4:12,13). If a guy have not the Spirit of Christ it relatively is because of the fact his temple(physique) is unclean, for the Spirit of Christ won't be able to stay in an unclean physique and consequently we are none of His. as quickly as we've given our existence to Christ his Spirit keeps to be in us because of the fact our sins have been washed away and now our residing house(physique) has been swept sparkling from sin and the Spirit can proceed to be in us and we in Him. the affection of God in no way ceases to amaze me. compliment the Lord!

Answer 8

Jesus said in the last days many would show up and say that Jesus was in fact the Christ of God but they would bring with them false doctine and a false spirit.


Then he showed me Joshua the high priest standing before the angel of the LORD, and Satan standing at his right side to accuse him. The LORD said to Satan, “The LORD rebuke you, Satan! The LORD, who has chosen Jerusalem, rebuke you! Is not this man a burning stick snatched from the fire?” Now Joshua was dressed in filthy clothes as he stood before the angel. The angel said to those who were standing before him, “Take off his filthy clothes.” Then he said to Joshua, “See, I have taken away your sin, and I will put rich garments on you.” Then I said, “Put a clean turban on his head.” So they put a clean turban on his head and clothed him, while the angel of the LORD stood by. (Zechariah 3:1-5.)

If even the high priest Joshua was dressed in filthy garments and needed snatched from the fires of hell and judgment, how do you expect to be dressed in white linen yourself? Speak up as to how then can your deeds justify you before God or make you perfect? They cannot for:

‘But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteous acts are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away.’ (Isaiah 64:6.)


Without holiness no one can see the Lord. God sees the heart, there is nothing he does not know and he says deep down all men’s hearts are wicked and decietful and full of vanity. No man is righteous in themself. No amount of good works can undo, make right or make clean any dirt that is there. No amount of effort can earn you salvation. If your heart - your underwear - is dirty it will remain dirty unless it is washed or replaced. Let the angel of the Lord - that is Jesus Christ - give you clean clothes to wear as you will find them nowhere else for there is no other name under heaven and earth by which men may be saved. ‘Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved.‘ (Acts 4:12) and “Jesus said to him, ‘I am the way, and the truth, and the life, no one comes to the Father but through Me’” (John 14:6).

God says to you, come wash your underwear - that is your most innermost being - your heart and sinfulness and iniquities - and make yourself spiritually clean. Your works cannot make you clean, even if you run back and forth from the end of the earth to the corners of heaven. Only Christ’s blood and then the coming of the Holy Spirit upon you can make your coloured garments become white. He calls out to men and women and beckons them to Him to continually dwell in his temple and for them to become temples filled with his presense, holiness and righteousness - and his Holy Spirit.

God beckons Latter Day Saints to buy from God white garments to clothe their nakedness, their shame, their sin, their pride. There is nothing that is hidden that will not be revealed, no deeds or intentions or motives that will not be exposed.

Be prepared to have your undergarments displayed before God on the day of judgement. Do you want them shown up as the filthy garments they are or do you want them washed white in the blood of Christ?

‘I advise you to buy from Me gold refined by fire so that you may become rich, and white garments so that you may clothe yourself, and that the shame of your nakedness will not be revealed; and eye salve to anoint your eyes so that you may see.’ (Revelation 3:18)
