Articles of Faith 1

Articles of Faith #1 ~ “We believed in God, the Eternal Father, and His Son, Jesus Christ, and in the Holy Ghost.”

I have prepared lesson on these series of Article of Faith for both Issac and Annabelle as they need to memorize all 13 Article of Faith and explain the meaning of them.

We are spirit children of Heavenly Father, and we lived with Him before we came to earth. His plan allows us to choose to live with Him again.

Heavenly Father has all knowledge and He has all power. He is the Father of our spirit. He hopes we will talk to Him in prayer every day.

Jesus Christ is Heavenly Father’s Only Begotten Son. He came to earth to receive a body and to atone for all the sins of mankind. Because Jesus Christ, we can return to live with Him and Heavenly Father again.

There are many names for Jesus Christ in the scriptures: Creator, Son of God, Savior, Redeemer, Jesus Christ, Good Shepherd, Prince of Peace, King of Kings, Firstborn and Messiah.

The Holy Ghost has a spirit body. He helps and comforts us. Through promptings, he helps us make good choices and know the difference between right and wrong.

The Holy Ghost is the third member of the Godhead. He can give us promptings to help you choose the right. We can feel the promptings of the Holy Ghost. Listen for the Holy Ghost “in your mind and in your heart” (D&C 8:2). After we are baptized and confirmed, the Holy Ghost can be our “constant companion” (D&C 121:46).

Heavenly Father, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Ghost are three separate beings. Heavenly Father is eternal, which means that He exists forever and is perfect.
