Moroni 10:3-5
2) What principle or doctrine is taught?
The truth of all things
3) What message for improvement is taught?
When you read the scriptures you need to ponder them, ponder them with your whole heart. As you do that to remember how merciful the lord has been to you though everything. You need to ask God in the name of Christ if these things are NOT true. When you are doing so, you need to do it with a sincerer hear and real intent and have faith that the truth will be manifested to you. It will be manifested to you by the Holy Ghost, and by that power you will know the truth of all things.
4) How can I apply this principle, doctrine, or message in my life?
Chapter 10 in my Book of Mormon is marked above it “Elder Millers Chapter – REMEMBER” It only took me so long to get to reading it and really understanding why he wanted me to read it and know what it meant. I have done the things that were asked in those 3 versus, and I have had the Holy Ghost testify to me that the scriptures are true. These are the words of the prophets of old teaching us through the past. I see so much of the world in the scriptures, I can put myself in there and sometimes my heart is filled with guilt and sometimes gladness.
As I read the scriptures I ponder and I pray, like the song, “Search, Ponder, and Pray, are the things that I must do. The spirit will guide and deep inside, I know the scriptures are true” I know that my Heavenly Father has been more than merciful to me, and given me many second chances, so many, I have lost count. When I go unto him every time my heart is full, so full, I know all that he has done for me and all that he wants me to do through the scriptures. Over the last year it has become marked up and notes written in it. I have had people tell me I mark my scriptures wrong, but I have had so much to learn and so much to discover that I had to mark it up, it is all so important and amazing and is FOR ME.
I know the scriptures are true. I sat in the temple and read and prayed. I finished the Book of Mormon and sat there in the temple so full of the spirit and it was testified to me that they are. Tears were streaming down my face and my life felt like a load had been lifted off of me. I absolutely 100% know that the Book of Mormon is the word of God, and it was written for this age and time. I need to know the things and I need to help others understand and feel the spirit. I am a light to the world and the more I know the better I am to everyone who needs me. I use the scriptures all the time in my life, it is the best place for advice and answers, ANYTHING can be related to a scripture. They are one of the biggest comforts in my life. As I read I am filled with the spirit and I love having that in my life. Those versus speak truth, that is what I did and I got those answers. I have been blessed beyond measure.
