Sunday Recap

It is a common misconception that "Mormons aren't Christians" -

How do we help people understand that we do believe in Christ? How do we teach of Him?

-we can show it through the way that we live our lives and treat others - it should be obvious to them that we love and believe in Him!

-Service to others (gifts at Christmas that actually have to do with Christ!)

-Dont be afraid to mention church when you talk about the weekend

-We need to know Him first!

-Don't be afraid to mention his name when you're in conversation with others.

How do we bear a Christ-centered Testimony?

-No matter what principle we are testifying of, find a way to relate it back to Him

-steer away from "Thank-a-thons" and focus on what you know and believe

-live your life in such a way that all that you do is centered around and relates back to the Savior

-When you have a prompting to share your testimony, just do it!

-To testify of Him, we first need to know Him - do all you can to do so, and your testimony of Him will flow naturally

So - what is it that we do know about Him? Some things we discussed in class are:

His Divinity: He is the Firstborn and only Begotten of the Father, He is perfect, he comes from humble origins here on earth, He is our Savior

His Atonement: It is through him only that we can be saved, He was willing to do so, it gives us hope and perspective, when understood it can fill us with gratitude

The Restoration: It clarifies our understanding of Him, through it the Priesthood was restored, and through it we can grow closer to Him
