What do the scriptures teach, and why are they so important? The scriptures teach us about God and His Son Jesus Christ, they are the way that we can strengthen our faith in Them! Jesus suffered for our sins so that we might repent and become clean again. I know that this is the only way that we can return to live with God again someday. I know that Jesus is the true living Christ!
“In the end, the central purpose of all scripture is to fill our souls with faith in God the Father and in His Son, Jesus Christ—faith that They exist; faith in the Father’s plan for our immortality and eternal life; faith in the Atonement and Resurrection of Jesus Christ, which animates this plan of happiness; faith to make the gospel of Jesus Christ our way of life; and faith to come to know ‘the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom [He has] sent’ (John 17:3).” (Elder D. Todd Christofferson; of the Twelve) The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.
