Share in your own words several insights as though you are really trying to teach someone. Include at least three scripture references to support the truths you teach (you may reference them, but there is no need to quote them). Share your testimony as you would when teaching someone. Your response will be evaluated by the following criteria: 1. 200–300 words in length (please include your word count at the botom of the section). 2. Include at least 3 scripture references . Response:

- I was thinking a lot about what is mentioned in Moses 4:6 when it talks about Satan not knowing the mind of God, when it says “knew not” in the scripture, the footnote of John 16:1-3 mentions not knowing the Father or Christ. I think to be in line with God and His plan for us, we have to submit to his will, judgement, and guidance and work on our relationship to truly “know him”. I will say that looking back, my life went smoother, and I was able to feel God’s love and blessings for me when I followed Him and his plan for me, even if I don’t exactly know what I’m doing, I can trust in God and know that I will be forgiven if I trespass. - In Moses 6:56-57 , it mentions agency. And what a gift it is! We are freer when we align ourselves with Christ, even though that is not what the world says. I know the difference of living with and without Christ’s influence in my life and it is black and white. I was happier, the world seemed brighter, and more importantly, I knew that I was forgiven. God gives us trials and opportunities to see what the opposite of his love, warmth, and good is. And knowing that he gives us opportunities to excel and further our knowledge and relationship with Him? That just makes me want to us my Agency is the way that it was intended, but to use it to stay close to Him. Word Count: 258 4. Synthesis: Personal Relevance and Application to the Real World There are many serious challenges people encounter on a daily basis that are consequences of living in a fallen world. The gospel truths taught in the Articles of Faith have tremendous power to help people find answers, rise above problems, or simply feel God's love and concern for them again. Each week you will choose an issue (below) and think deeply about how the truths in that week’s Article of Faith can offer hope to those who are experiencing the problem. If you have another issue that particularly interests you, then choose your own: abortion abuse/bullying addiction depression divorce domestic violence energy/environmental issues violence gambling genocide homosexuality international terrorism
