In church recently we talked about three important things we believe that not everyone knows.
First- You are a child of God. You have Heavenly parents- a mother and a father of your soul. If you've been to a funeral with an open casket before, you probably noticed that the body is just a body. There's no spark of life in the body anymore, just a shell. You have a soul and a body. Earthly parents provided you a body. Heavenly parents provided you a soul.
Second- Jesus Christ is your Savior and because of Him we can have eternal life. Eternal life meaning life with God verses only everlasting life meaning living forever. Jesus suffered through the agony of the atonement and crucifixion and became brilliantly resurrected so that our souls and our bodies will be perfected together forever in God's presence if we choose.
Third- We have living prophets that receive modern revelation from God, and we can also receive personal revelation from God. The line to heaven is open and we can pray and God will answer. God doesn't always answer in the way or timing we want, but God is aware and trying to communicate with us personally. Prophets are here on Earth right now and receiving guidance and direction for our times.
You can ponder over these three messages and receive your own testimony they are true.
