Jesus Christ

The doctrine of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (Mormons) is centered on the birth, life, death, and Resurrection of Jesus Christ. We believe that Jesus is the Savior of the World, the Messiah that was promised from the foundation of the world. He is "the way, the truth, and the light" and the only way back to God. Jesus was born into the world to show us by example how we should live and provide a way for us to return to God. The Atonement of Jesus Christ is the way for us to receive forgiveness and continue on the path to our Father in Heaven. Christ is so fundamental to the church, enough that the church is named after him. We believe that the church is literally His church and that He governs it through chosen leaders (Prophets and Apostles). Jesus Christ does live and Mormons revere him as the Savior of all mankind. I know that He lives and the life He lived gives me hope everyday.

Introduction

During a recent General Conference of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (commonly referred to as Mormons), a talk was given on defending the beliefs of the church. I've been thinking for awhile what I could do to define my religion and not let others define the church from the outside. This blog will introduce, support, and defend the beliefs of Mormons. The blog is meant to inform and be a way for others to learn more about the church; it is intended to be simple and not extremely long. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is similar too many other Christian churches. Jesus Christ is central to the church. We believe that he is the literal Son of God, the Savior of the World.
