Anyway on to other cool things I mostly already knew but find rather important to bare my testimony about. Baptism, for me, was a while ago and I don't have that great of a memory so I don't exactly remember everything that was spoken about before or during. But reading about the covenants and promises I made, I worry since I'm not perfect. The sacrament has saved me multiple times from feeling so inadequate I would give up. For any who think similarly to me and feel terrible for mistakes made, might I suggest studying the sacrament and how it renews our covenants we make. As long as I humble myself, go with a broken heart and contrite spirit, truly repent, and serve Him until the end, I can feel clean again (v37).
It's cool to know the duties of elders, priests, teachers, and deacons, but that was never my responsibility (v38-67). My duty as a member of Christ's church is to manifest before the church by walking in holiness before The Lord for the rest of my life (v68-69). I will raise my children in the church, meet often in my ward, and listen to His words from old and from this age given by the prophet today (v70-71,11).
I know that this church is Christ's church because He had a hand in bringing it to pass and organizing it so that it will stay true until His second coming. I love my Heavenly Father and my Savior, Jesus Christ for bringing this church into the world so that I may be a part of it.
