The Book of Mormon does not replace the Bible; rather, they are companion works that together teach about God and Jesus Christ. Both volumes of scripture are a compilation of teachings as recorded by ancient prophets.

Faith in Jesus Christ, by Elder Pearson

  1. If we want more faith, we must be more obedient.
  2. Do not be casual or situational in obeying God's commandments.
  3. Faith requires exact obedience in even the small simple things.
  4. Desire, hope, and belief are forms of faith but faith as a principle of power comes from consistent behavior and attitudes.
  5. You can have spiritual power with faith.
  6. The eye of faith: ability to focus and be steadfast, nothing wavering, holding fast to gospel principles.
  7. However, there is opposition in all things. Because we can act for ourselves and must be enticed by one other the other (decisions).
  8. If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believe th. Faith and fear cannot co-exist.
  9. Faith as a grain of a mustard seed.
  10. Net faith= faith - doubt - fear - disbelief
  11. doubt leads to discouragement and greater difficulty following the spirit.
  12. Distraction eliminates the focus the eye of faith requires. It also leads to a lack of diligence. Disappointment does not have to lead to doubt or distraction.
  13. Disbelief is choosing to harden one's heart and be past feeling.
  14. God lives and loves each of us his children. Jesus Christ is our savior and redeemer. He lives. And becuase of that there is always hope smiling brightly before us.
  15. Choose to live by faith and not fear!
  16. AMEN!
