We Believe in Jesus Christ

Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, frequently referred to as “Mormons”, believe in Jesus Christ, his life, mission, teachings, atonement, crucifixion, and resurrection. The temple is one of the most visible and significant symbols of this belief in resurrection and eternal life because of the sacrifice of our Savior. In temples, members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints make sacred covenants to follow Christ. Joseph Smith said this about members of the church, “We believe in being honest, true, chaste, benevolent, virtuous, and in doing good to all men; indeed, we may say that we follow the admonition of Paul--We believe all things, we hope all things, we have endured many things, and hope to be able to endure all things. If there is anything virtuous, lovely, or of good report or praiseworthy, we seek after these things”.

Elder Jeffrey R. Holland

“Opposition turns up almost anyplace something good has happened. It can happen when you are trying to get an education. It can hit you after your first month in your new mission field. It certainly happens in matters of love and marriage. … There are cautions and considerations to make, but once there has been genuine illumination, beware the temptation to retreat from a good thing. If it was right when you prayed about it and trusted it and lived for it, it is right now. Don’t give up when the pressure mounts. … Face your doubts. Master your fears. ‘Cast not away therefore your confidence.’ Stay the course and see the beauty of life unfold for you.”
