THE PLAN OF HAPPINESS

THE PLAN OF HAPPINESS

By learning and living the following principles, your life will be full of happiness, blessed with peace and enriched with enlightenment. You will experience joy beyond description and love as never before. And you will gain strength to face life’s challenges with the assurance that your actions are right!

There is a God. He created the Earth for us to live on and be tested. We are his children (spiritually), he is our Heavenly Father. We lived with Him before we were born. At birth, our memory of that time was erased so that we would live by faith. God gave us the freedom to choose right or wrong. Through prophets, God gives mankind laws (commandments). Obedience to these laws brings happiness and the blessings of God. Disobedience (sin) brings misery and the withdrawal of some of the blessings of God. Jesus Christ (God’s son) came to earth and sacrificed himself to “pay” for our forgiveness. We can be forgiven of our sins through faith in Jesus and repentance (ceasing to be disobedient).

Life is a test of faith in God and repentance from our sins. God’s enemy (the Devil) is real and constantly tempting us to live without God and in violation of his commandments. At the end of our lives we will be judged. God loves us and will bless us with a Heavenly reward commensurate with our faithfulness to Him.

Common sins of mankind:
Failure to worship God; excessive pursuit of material things and selfish goals to the exclusion of God; unnecessary work on Sunday (the Sabbath, the Lord’s Day); dishonesty; stealing; adultery; fornication; profanity.

The Lord’s church—then and now:
As foretold in the Bible, the early Christian church Jesus established fell into apostasy as men killed the church’s leaders and changed the doctrines Jesus taught. Now there are thousands of different denominations (led by men lacking authority from God) teaching their own interpretation of the Bible or following various other creeds or beliefs.

By miraculous visitations of God Himself, Jesus Christ, angels, and the translation of an ancient record, God thru a modern prophet has restored his church in modern times as He did anciently. It has the authority of God—not merely of men. It teaches for example, that family relationships can be forever. Remarkably, it is the only church that practices this important truth. It is The Church of Jesus Christ, of Latter-Day Saints. Membership in his church affords fellowship with other believers; the ordinances of salvation; and instruction about and from God.

In consequence of widespread wickedness, destructions and calamity are engulfing the world. Only through living righteously can we have peace and be saved.

Primary Requirements for Salvation and Happiness:
1) Faith in Jesus Christ,
2) Repentance from sin,
3) Baptism by proper authority,
4) The Gift of the Holy Ghost by the “laying on of hands.”

My witness:
Raised in the Presbyterian Church, I began to earnestly learn about The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints in 1980. My studies of it uncovered sound doctrine, wonderful friends and marvelous opportunities and experiences. A combination of missionary lessons, study, prayer, and living gospel principles yielded a conviction in my heart and soul that The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints is the Lord’s church restored in modern times. This witness came to me through the Holy Spirit. Membership in the church has brought a mighty change in my life (through Christ). It has made life rich and brought happiness beyond my wildest imaginations. In appreciation, I share this treasure with those I make acquaintance with, in hopes that others will gain as I have. As you’ve read this brochure, if you’ve felt the truthfulness of these things, it is a witness from God’s Holy Spirit to you. I would like to have a free book delivered to you that demonstrates God’s work in modern times. With it you can receive a further witness. Please call me.
