Response: Dear Edoardo, this week I would really like to share with you some of the most important principles and ordinances

we belie to be true in our church, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. In order to start I would like to explain you the first principle of the Gospel that is Faith and specifically Faith in Jesus Christ. Having Faith in Jesus Christ mean to believe that He is really the only begotten son of the Father and that He was prepared and come here on earth to atone for our physical and spiritual death. Alma 32:21 is telling us that having Faith in him means that even if we did not see Him, we strongly believe that He did really perform this great atoning miracle. Once we will develop Faith in Him, we will recognize that as human we do daily mistake, big or small and because of this we are called to repent of our mistake and to do our best to follow Him. In Mosiah 26:28-32 we can read that the repentance process is essential to be numbered into the People of God. A great act of love, in order to show Him our love for Him, is to follow His example entering in covenants with Him being baptized by immersion, exactly as He showed us when He came here on earth as explained in 2 Nephi 31:5 where we can see the perfect example of Christ’s obedience to His father The second step would be to receive the gift of the Holy Ghost that would be a personal and eternal companion to guide us and protect us from dangers. If we will continue to do our best here on earth and making some higher covenants with Our Heavenly Father and Our Savior Jesus Christ, we will be promised eternal life with them and our eternal families. Word Count: 313 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
