Jesus Christ, Our Savior

See here.

On 1 January 2000, the leaders of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints released a proclamation entitled “The Living Christ.” They write,

“We bear testimony, as His duly ordained Apostles—that Jesus is the Living Christ, the immortal Son of God. He is the great King Immanuel, who stands today on the right hand of His Father. He is the light, the life, and the hope of the world. His way is the path that leads to happiness in this life and eternal life in the world to come. God be thanked for the matchless gift of His divine Son.”

The Savior is the focus of my faith, and the faith of every other Latter-day Saint across the globe. I am grateful for his atoning sacrifice, and know that it is only through this sacrifice that I can be forgiven of my sins. He is my exemplar, and by following in his footsteps I can be happiest here in this life, and live with him and the Father in the life to come.

Jesus the Christ

The message of the LDS Church is one of faith and hope. We love and worship Jesus Christ. He is central to God’s plan for our happiness. Christ’s atoning sacrifice makes it possible for us to have eternal life in the presence of God. As we live His gospel, He will mercifully forgive our sins. He will heal us and replace guilt and shame with peace and happiness.

The gospel of Jesus Christ is simple. It begins with faith in Christ. We believe in Him, trust Him, and depend on Him. Such faith leads us to repent—to stop doing things that are wrong and continue doing things that are right. Our faith in Him also makes us want to show our love by keeping His commandments, including baptism. After baptism, He promises to give us the gift of the Holy Ghost. The Holy Ghost will guide us, comfort us, and help us know the truth. We can know in our hearts peace, love, and joy. We will want to serve others. We will strive throughout our lives to please the Lord.

Jesus Christ has restored His gospel through a latter-day prophet.
