Faith- believing without seeing.

- This can be a lot easier said than done. I find myself forgetting the promises given to me and doubting at times and then realizing like it says in Ether 3 that Heavenly Father is the "God of truth, and canst not lie." (Ether 3:12) So when we are promised something by Him it will come either in this life or in the next, but we also much be willing to listen to Him and live our lives according to his counsel.

 "...they who shall believe on my name;... shall become my sons and my daughters." (Ether 3:14)
- Do we truly believe in the name of Jesus Christ our Redeemer? That He has redeemed us from the fall and is the ultimate and only source of Salvation.

What would that be like to be the brother of Jared and have "faith no longer, for he knew, nothing doubting." Ether 3:19

- I think that is a goal of everyone's but it is also a goal we can't achieve on our own. We must have for help and become humble to our Savior and our Heavenly Father to truly gain that faith we need to get us through this life and to our ultimate goal of living like and becoming like our Father in Heaven.

Blessing- Heavenly Father is amazing and gives us what we need when we need it in order to help us grow the way He wants us to.

Heber J. Grant said "I have heard men and women say that they were going to let their sons and daughters grow to maturity before they sought to teach them the principles of the gospel, that they were not going to cram the gospel down them in their childhood, before they were able to comprehend it. When I hear men and women say this, I think they are lacking faith in the principles of the gospel and do not comprehend it as they should. The Lord has said it is our duty to teach our children in their youth, and I prefer to take His word for it rather than the words of those who are not obeying His commandments.. I may know that the gospel is true, and so may my wife; but I want to tell you that your children will not know that the gospel is true, unless they study it and gain a testimony for themselves. Parents are deceiving themselves in imagining that their children will be born with a knowledge of the gospel." (Richard O. Cowan, The Church in the Twentieth Century, p. 319)*...

Gordon B. Hinckley said, "We all do a lot of studying, but most of us don't do much meditation. We don't take time to think. I'd like to suggest that next fast day . . . everybody in this hall set aside an hour or two. Sit by yourself. Go in the bedroom and lock the door. Go out in the yard under a tree. Go in your study if you have one and shut the door, and think about yourself and your worthiness. Read from this great book [Book of Mormon]...There's a great word that's used, 'ponder.' "'Ponder.' What do we mean by 'ponder'? Well, I think it simply means kind of quietly thinking things through. Ponder what you have read. Ponder your life. Are you worthy, are you living the commandments...?" (Church News, 01/06/96) -Christ commanded them to; 1. " ponder upon the things which I have said, 2. ask the Father, in my name, that ye many understand, 3. prepare your minds for the morrow ," (3 Nephi 17:3) -The thing...
