Adam Fell That Men Might Be

This week in my BYU-I Pathway program, we are learning more about the atonement of Christ.
We have been asked to read 2 Nephi Chapter 2. In this chapter we learn about the atonement, the grace of God, and that men (and women) are free to choose liberty or eternal life.
One of my favorite verses is verse 27 Wherefore, men are ^afree according to the ^bflesh; and ^callthings are ^dgiven them which are expedient unto man. And they are free to ^echoose ^fliberty and eternal ^glife, through the great Mediator of all men, or to choose captivity and death, according to the captivity and power of the devil; for he seeketh that all men might be ^hmiserable like unto himself.

I would love all of my blog readers to take a moment to read and ponder 2 Nephi in The Book of Mormon. I know that it will bring you peace and a message of hope.

Mathew 22:34-40

This week in my BYUI (BYU Idaho) Pathway program we learned more about becoming a true disciple of Jesus Christ. These scriptures stood out to me, Mathew 22:34-40, it reads:

34 ¶ But when the Pharisees had heard that he had put the Sadducees to silence, they were gathered together.

35 Then one of them, which was a lawyer, asked him a question,^atempting him, and saying,

36 Master, which is the great commandment in the law?

37 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt ^alove the Lord thy God with all thy ^bheart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy ^cmind.

38 This is the first and great ^acommandment.

39 And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt ^alove thy neighbour as thyself.

40 On these two commandments hang all the ^alaw and the prophets.

What I love is the simplicity of how one can become a true disciple, or follower of Christ. First, you need to love the Lord, second, you should love your neighbor as yourself. By obeying these two laws, you will be able to live a happy, faithful life, for all other commandments and laws fall back on these two great commandments. 

I know these scriptures are true. When I read these words, I feel my saviors love.

From the beginning....

I'm now attending my last semester of the Pathway program through BYU-Idaho (https://byupathway.lds.org/)! I'm super excited to be finishing up with this program, it has been a huge blessing to myself and my family! 

The religion course for this last semester is FDREL 250- Jesus Christ and the Everlasting Gospel.

This week we have a lot of scriptures & resources to read this week, and have been asked to answer the following questions-

• What is Heavenly Father's plan for His children and how does it bring about His ultimate goal and purposes for His children?
• How do gospel ordinances and covenants help you receive the “power of godliness” and fulfill God’s ultimate purpose to become like Him?

One of the scriptures we were asked to read is Moses 4:1-4

1 And I, the Lord God, spake unto Moses, saying: That Satan, whom thou hast commanded in the name of mine Only Begotten, is the same which was from the beginning, and he came before me, saying—Behold, here am I, send me, I will be thy son, and I will redeem all mankind, that one soul shall not be lost, and surely I will do it; wherefore give me thine honor.

2 But, behold, my Beloved Son, which was my Beloved and Chosen from the beginning, said unto me—Father, thy will bedone, and the glory be thine forever.

3 Wherefore, because that Satan rebelled against me, and sought to destroy the agency of man, which I, the Lord God, had given him, and also, that I should give unto him mine own power; by the power of mine Only Begotten, I caused that he should be cast down;

4 And he became Satan, yea, even the devil, the father of all lies, to deceive and to blind men, and to lead them captive at his will, even as many as would not hearken unto my voice.

As I read these scriptures I could visualize Heavenly Father, Jesus and Satan, all sitting around, talking and trying to plan how this life for us was all going to play out. 

Lucky for us all, it was Christ, who said "thy will be done, and the glory be thine forever" and because of this, he won the war in Heaven. Because of Jesus Christ, we have been given this life to learn for ourselves the things which are right and wrong. Satan wants to destroy our lives and he wants us to be miserable like him. Satan should always be known as remembered as "the father of all lies". 

These scriptures tell us what Gods plan is for us- to receive a body, and to be on earth to receive agency, and to learn for ourselves and to come unto Christ. We receive the power of Godliness by knowing that we chose in Heaven to follow Christ and agreed to come down to Earth to be tested and return to our Heavenly Father worthy and faithful. 

I would like to share my testimony, that I know that these things are true, and I bare my testimony, in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen. 

He Will Give You Help- Mormon Message

This week in my Pathway class we are reading Mosiah 4:26. We also are asked to watch 6 or more videos that pertain to the teachings of the weeks scriptures. This video was part of the six videos I watched. Stories of strength after a loved one passes is something that is always something I love to hear and learn about. Death is hard and horrible to have to deal with, but the Lord provides us with comfort in these times. I love this testimony of faith in our Savior.

I would love to know your thoughts after watching this video.
