Today I finished the Book of Mormon. Even though this isn't the first time I have finished the book, the spirit still bore witness to me that it is true! I am grateful for a loving Heavenly Father that prepared a way, thousands of years ago, for us to find out if the restored gospel of Jesus Christ is true! I have taken Moroni's challenge at the end of the Book of Mormon and have read, pondered, and prayed and received a witness that it is true! The cool thing about the promise is that you can receive that witness every day, not just every 4-6 months when you finish the Book of Mormon again. I love it! If you haven't prayed about the Book of Mormon recently, I encourage you to do so.
On top of that, this time through the Book of Mormon, I wanted to underline every reference to Christ, his life, his Atonement, his mission, etc. Basically, I wanted to underline every time Christ was referred to in the Book of Mormon. I did it because one of the goals of the Book of Mormon is to convince the Jew and Gentile that Jesus is the Christ. I wanted to see how the Book of Mormon convinced the Jew and Gentile that Jesus is the Christ. This was such an amazing experience to read the whole Book of Mormon, focusing on the Savior. If you haven't done so, I encourage you all to do it. My testimony of our Savior has been strengthened though this experience. I have found new insights that I didn't have prior to this experience.
The Book of Mormon is true. If you haven't had that confirmation recently, read the Book of Mormon, ponder its teachings, and then pray about it. In doing so, you will receive a witness that it is true through the Holy Ghost. This book has changed my life as well. I hope it is changing yours every day when you read it.
