Religion

Religion and faith in God are very important in my life. In fact, my religion is a way of living every day. It gives divine purpose to life. Religion helps me to understand my own nature.

Religion and faith also provide a foundation of truths to guide my life. I believe that God has revealed Himself and His truths to man. As a Latter-day Saint, I believe that God has a plan for us. We refer to this as the Plan of Salvation. My wife and I made the choice to follow God's plan and to teach our children to follow the plan.

The Plan of Salvation teaches us that we are literally children of God. We lived with Him prior to birth. Jesus Christ, a Son of God, is our brother. We are divine in our natures with capacity to become like Our Father and Our Brother.

The most important religious principle we learn is FAITH - faith in God and Jesus Christ. Faith is a principle of action. When we have faith, we obey God's commandments. We repent. Repentance is the process by which we change, improve and become more like God, Our Father.

Repentance is possible because of the atonement of Jesus Christ. I believe that Jesus is the Savior. He took upon Himself the sins of all people, died upon the cross and became a vicarious sacrifice for all mankind. Through faith in Him and His atonement, we can can be forgiven for violating God's commandments or sinning.

I hope to use these pages to share my beliefs regarding God and the principles of my religion. If you wonder why I would do this, I can only reply that God has given me a great gift and I want to share it.

May God bless you as you ponder the things of eternity.
