Talk
I am currently attending the Preach My Gospel Sunday School class. This last week Sister Ure was called upon to answer the question, “What is the gospel of Jesus Christ?” She had talked about this question with her family, and provided an answer she had gotten from her daughter, Caroline. The gospel of Jesus Christ is to “Come unto Jesus.”
Perhaps we hear the invitation of the Savior, “Come unto me, all you who are heavy laden, and I will give thee rest; Take of my fruit and you will be blessed.”
And so we ask ourselves, what are the blessings of coming unto Christ. Page 1 of the Preach My Gospel Manuel refers to Doctrine and Covenants
The Savior defined His gospel to include some very vital and basic doctrines. He came into the world to do His Father’s will, and His Father sent Him into the world to be lifted up on the cross. By His Atonement and Resurrection, all men will be lifted up to stand before Christ to be judged of their works, whether they be good or evil. Those who exercise faith in Christ, repent of their sins, and are baptized in Christ’s name can be sanctified by the Holy Ghost. If they endure to the end, they will stand spotless before Christ at the last day and will enter into the rest of the Lord. (Preach My Gospel pg 5)
Obedience to Jesus Christ is a lifelong commitment. Through exercising faith, repenting,
being baptized and committing to serve Christ, and then receiving the Holy Ghost, we
can experience healing, forgiveness of sins, and complete conversion to the Savior and
His gospel. (PMG pg 6)
“Preach the first principles of the Gospel—preach them over again: you will find that day after day new ideas and additional light concerning them will be revealed to you. You can enlarge upon them so as to comprehend them clearly. You will then be able to make them more plainly understood by those [you] teach.”( PMG pg 6)
