The church and the whole program and proceedures are true and right. I believe that the direction for the church is a revelation to our prophets coming from the Lord. To be in the world is never an easy journey but everythings made easier if we live our life according to the principles of the Gospel. As everything we do in this world is always easy if there is a pattern and a system that is just exactly the same with our Father's plan for us. We came on earth following the pattern and system of our Lord and according to the Gospel standards we hold on to stay in the pattern. For me, everything about life on earth is a divine purpose as our life is a gift from our Father in Heaven. I believe that each one of us committed to our Father in Heaven that we will find the path back to His presence. A knowledge of Good and Evil is pretty much a hint for us that there is a God out there who is the source of all good things happening in this world. I believe that each person is rewarded according to his deeds and heart's honest desires. There are people who live their lives naturally while some are striving to do good and others too might have been trying to do best according to the Lord's will. I believe in justice as the Lord is just and judgment will always be at the end along with the consequence to our choices. The work of the Lord is not over yet but the time is far spent, there is little remaining as the church hymn goes. And it is now time for us to seek the reality of a living God seriously.
Like a President in a country, a company or an organization--God also needs people to act on His behalf to make his work done properly and to be finished in the right time. I believe that a prophet is God's servant that is very important for Him to accomplish His work. He gives instructions to the prophet for the right things He wants to happen in His kingdom on earth. We live today by a living Prophet by the name of Thomas S. Monson. The church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day saints is true. As the scripture says in Ephesians 2:20 it is built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone. I believe in Joseph Smith to be the modern prophet after the decades of apostasy Joseph followed the scripture that says in James 1:5 If any of you lack wisdom let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him. He went to the woods and asked God about the truth because he was so confused and since there was no truth about the Gospel then God later on revealed to Joseph the work for the restoration of the true Gospel. I believe we lived before the world was, we are here for a challenge to gain exaltation that only means there is life after death even greater than what we see now for it is life eternal and the bigger challenge there is to gain the posession in His Kingdom that our Father in Heaven had prepared for us.
God loves us and He is gentle and kind to us. As we all know, God gave us life and that only means there is a purpose of it and for those who might have not known yet it's about time to find out the purpose of life. Our existence on earth is a simple logic--as other's say we are here to be tested--we might neet to also ask, tested for what? Since in every test there is a failure and passing and in failure it's always a heartbreak and passing is to rejoice--we have to think that perhaps if we fail with this test, there could never be a second chance for us--once we fail we always fail. This is the right time for us to find out about how to pass the test in this life. I know that God lives, he loves us and He is the same yesterday, today and tomorrow. In Jesus name Amen.
