Who is Christ?
Jesus Christ is the Son of God. He was born to His mother, Mary, in a place called Bethlehem. During His life, He taught many people His Gospel, established His church and performed many miracles. The most important thing that Christ did was to sacrifice His life for each of us. His sacrifice is called the Atonement. It includes His suffering in the Garden of Gethsemane, His death on the cross and His resurrection when He rose from the dead to live again. In the Garden of Gethsemane Christ suffered for all of our pains and afflictions and paid the price for our sins. Because of Jesus Christ’s sacrifice for us, because of His Atonement, we can all be forgiven of our sins and we can live again after this life. We can also overcome all things because of His Atonement. His Atonement is infinite. It is limitless.
What Does It Mean to Believe in Christ?
If we believe something, we follow it. If we believe in Christ, we will follow Him. He taught that we must have faith in Him, repent of our sins, be baptized, receive the Holy Spirit and continue to be faithful throughout our lives. If we believe in Christ, we will be obedient to His teachings. If we do these things we can live forever with God after this life and we will experience true, lasting happiness and joy in this life and after this life. We will of course have challenges, sorrows, fears, etc. but we will know better how to face them and how to overcome them.

I believe in Christ

His voice is heard, “Ye shall obtain!”

With Him I’ll stand in that great day
When on this earth He comes again
