We will have opportunities throughout our lives to share our beliefs, although we don’t always know when we will be called upon to do so. As an assignment in my BYUI class, I have been given an opportunity to "Share It" so I am choosing my blog forum to do so.
In my scripture reading this week, I came upon 1 Peter 3:15 "But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear."
PRINCIPLE: If your actions reflect your love and belief in God, then he will help you when you have opportunities to share the gospel with others. There will be no need to fear.
My Testimony Regarding Testimony:I believe that as a follower of Jesus Christ, I should strive to always be ready to share and defend my beliefs with meekness and reverence.
I know that in the scriptures Peter taught that Jesus Christ preached the gospel in the spirit world after His death. Jesus was the perfect example of bravely teaching and sharing His testimony with those who would listen.
I believe that I can gain a personal testimony through the Holy Ghost that Jesus is the Living Christ, that Joseph Smith saw the Father and the Son, that the Book of Mormon has a divine origin and is another testament of Jesus Christ; and as I do, I can be prepared to share my own witness of the Savior with others.
I really feel that it is my duty to witness and testify of Christ at all times and in all places. I can do this by being a living, walking example in all things. I can lift and testify from where I stand.
I am confident that as I respect, trust, and follow Church leaders and modern-day prophets, whom the Lord has called, their testimonies will help strengthen me spiritually and my testimony of Jesus Christ will grow.
I have learned that if I am prepared to share and defend my beliefs, at all times, I will be directed and led to those that may want to know more about the gospel.
