Tonight I read in the Ensign, the visiting teaching message and the section on what we believe. The visiting teaching message was on temple and family history work. Joseph Smith is quoted as saying, "The greatest responsibility in this world that God has laid upon us is to seek after our dead." That is quite the grand statement. I really love doing family history work. I love reading the stories of my ancestors' lives and of their faith. It makes me feel connected to them, close to them. And I believe that with that close relationship, they will help me to find and link those of our family who have not received temple ordinances yet. It is a great work to do, and I believe it must be accomplished by faithful servants on BOTH sides of the veil.
The other message I read was about Jesus as the Only Begotten Son of God. I especially liked the examples of faith of those who believed Jesus was the Son of God from the scriptures: His disciples, Martha, Adam & Eve, and Samuel the Lamanite were mentioned in this article. I do believe also that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.
