AOF!!! 3 of 13

We believe that through the aAtonement of Christ, all bmankind may be csaved, by obedience to the laws and ordinances of the Gospel.

This is the 3rd Article of Faith. Now it sounds pretty plain and simple but it's than you can imagine. From the Atonement of Jesus Christ everyone can and may be saved. Through obedience to the laws and ordinances of the Gospel. Now if you are a investigator and wondering what the laws and ordinances are let me name them off.

Laws:
The law of tithing-You give 10% of your earnings to the church and that 10% goes to getting new Book of Mormons, helping people in the church in time of need, mission funds etc.
The law of Chasity- It simply means that you save sexual relationships after marriage. Marriage is sacred and it is supposed to be between a man and a women. Do not interact in homosexual relationships and pornography.
The 10 commandments- Thou shalt have no other Gods before me. Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image. Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain. Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. Honor thy father and thy mother. Thou shalt not kill. Thou shalt not commit to adultery. Thou shalt not steal. Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor. Thou shalt not covet.

I know that if live these commandments through out your life you will be richly blessed in all that you do.

Ordinances
Baptism- You get baptized which means you are fully emerged and it is a remission of sins and you will feel reborn. Or at least that's how I felt.
Temple: Baptism's for the dead which mean you get baptized for that person. Temple marriage. Sealing which means you will be sealed to your spouse for all and eternity. Or you can get sealed to your whole family for all and eternity.

I promise you if you live those laws I listed up there and you live them worthily, you can get a temple recommend and you can go into the temple and do Baptism's for the dead, or get married in the temple or get sealed in the temple to your spouse and or family for all and eternity. I testify that these things I say are true and I say these things in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
