Jesus Christ is a lighthouse of love for the soul. When we each take consistent steps towards Him daily, and try to show others His light, we will have true joy, and the shadows of doubt, and selfishness will fall behind us.

God is everywhere in everyone... God is me or you...doing together the good!

[Hamann]

I am reminded of a member of the church telling an atheist that his desire to do good came from God.

I love the Prophets and Apostles. They are teaching from experience as well as by the power of the Holy Ghost. When we follow them and apply their teachings we will be blessed. I know I am happy when I follow their counsel.

Elder Bednar is just amazing at explaining doctrine.

My late best friend Keith had deck Light. Ultimately it is what led me to join the Church 19 years ago

It is very good to know the importance of the Light of Christ, and the importance of the Light of Christ, It influences each of us to do what is Right, to learn to know what is good from bad, and to be one another's keeper and render charity to one another.

God is the Father of your divine spirit. You are His child and you are loved infinitely by Him, no matter your attitude towards Him. I want you to know that I know that He lives and He will forever love you. I only pray that at some point in your life, you will allow His love to penetrate your heart. Please don't feel like I am patronizing you or being condescending. I know it's hard to accept the reality of something we can't see with our eyes, but I know He truly is there with all my heart.

Elder Bednar speaks the truth. I have seen it and I have felt it.  Truth Lives!!!

We as members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints aren't saying that only people that believe in God are good, but what we are saying is much like what you are saying it is human nature to want to be good and to help others. We believe that it is in our nature because we are all children of a Heavenly Father. The decent and charitable nature that we possess is evidence to me that He lives.

[mingceline]

It is amazing to see how the light of Christ influences each and every one of us to have the desire to do good!

Excellent video! Well put together and very impactful. Even more important is that it is true!

[rattler]

From my perspective, the influence of the Holy Ghost is that prompting to act. The light of Christ is the action upon that prompting that will show how we have taken to heart the teachings of Christ and seek to emulate Him in our lives. Through such a combination of actions (the Holy Ghost prompting us, the decision to act and the resulting radiating of Christ-like love from our actions), the Light of Christ is shared with others so that they can recognize and feel His love.

Buen dia: En primer lugar quiero agradecer su contacto gracias por su amabilidad y vuestra Mecion gracias por enviar videos de publicacion.un saludo cordial.

[mirandahaws]

The difference between the Light of Christ and the influence of the Holy Ghost is hard to explain. For me the Light of Christ is something we are all born with and feel always. The influence of the Holy Ghost is similar but more special and powerful, for it is not a reaction to do good but a prompting to know what to do, and it is ALWAYS GOOD.

An outstanding video of the highest caliber. The doctrine is clearly taught by a master teacher! I love all the visuals and subtle music - they work so well together to help 'tell' this. Thanks again Mormon Messages.

[jenluvjake]

[lauramazza]

I know that what Elder Bednar says in this video, is True.

[humachuka]

I completely agree with you. In every way possible.
