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.

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
