Option #1 Find Solutions in the Scriptures to Everyday Problems

1. Within the Church we have a lot of petty arguments and problems. Here is a scripture that will help resolve that issue, if we choose to do it:

2Fulfil ye my joy, that ye be likeminded, having the same ^alove,being of ^bone ^caccord, of one mind.

 3Let nothing be done through ^astrife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each ^besteem other better than themselves.

The answer is love and respect. Do as Jesus Christ would. 

2. Many times kids will rely on their parent's testimony and not build their own. In the scriptures it says:

12Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, ^awork out your own ^bsalvation with fear and trembling.

 13For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do ofhis good pleasure.

So we need to be working out our OWN salvation through finding things out for ourselves. We have to have our own personal testimonies in order to be saved. 

3. When investigators join the Church, and their family will have nothing to do with them the scriptures teach us that:

7But what things were gain to me, those I counted loss for Christ.

Sacrificing for the Lord isn't really sacrificing because you get something better in return for your obedience to Him.

4. Just in writing this paper I am learning how to "feast upon the words of Christ." The entire verse goes like this:

3^aAngels speak by the power of the Holy Ghost; wherefore, they speak the words of Christ. Wherefore, I said unto you, ^bfeast upon the ^cwords of Christ; for behold, the words of Christ will ^dtell you all things what ye should do

You search for the answer and God will give it to you.

Choice #1 Live as Saints Should Live

1. Salvations is nearer than we know. I think that it has two meanings. One, that we don't know when we will meet God. Two, I believe it means that our opportunity to get close to our Heavenly Father readily available if we let it.

2. Here is a list of what Paul taught would help lead to salvation:

- Present your body as a living sacrifice

- Be transformed by the healing powers of the Lord

- Cleave to what is good

- Give hospitality

- Be of one mind with the Saints

- Let your soul be subject to higher powers

- Do that which is good

- Keep the commandments

3. Paul was cautioned about judging because it will all come back around if you do it. He was told that we are all brothers and sisters, and we need to judge, and just leave that to our Heavenly Father. The most important thing to remember is that you should treat others like yourselves. 

4. Paul called members of the Church, saints.

Choice #3 Baptism

1. We need to rid ourselves of all sin before we are baptized. That and we need to repent of all of them.
2. Baptism represents the birth and death of our Savior.
3. We need to be baptized by immersion because it is symbolic of Christ's body rising back to life.
4. We can maintain the newness of life by remembering why we were baptized and then keep our promises we made at our baptism.
5. According to Mosiah we learn that our natural man should be left in the water after baptism.

Freedom is weird to think about. It is sometimes hard to see that freedom comes from rules and commandments. We are all owned by our Heavenly Father, so we need to keep his commandments if we want to remain free from the consequences of sin.

Choice #2 Forgiveness

1. He explained that if any did give grief they need to understand that first, he loves them. Then second, they need to forgive, so that they can know the love the Lord has for them.

2. If you forgive someone, God will forgive you as well. What great love our Savior has for us!

3. If we don't forgive then we won't be forgiven by God or others. We can't be blessed until we show mercy towards other and let God do the judging. Not to mention, you won't be able to feel God's love for you if you don't forgive. That is a big burden of anger to hold by yourself.
