Article of Faith 1
We believe in God, the Eternal Father, and in His Son, Jesus Christ, and in the Holy Ghost.
We are spirit children of Heavenly Father, and we lived with Him before we came to earth. His plan allows us to choose to live with Him again.
Jesus Christ is Heavenly Father’s Only Begotten Son. He came to earth to receive a body and to atone for all the sins of mankind. Because of Jesus Christ, we can return to live with Him and Heavenly Father again.
The Holy Ghost has a spirit body. He helps and comforts us. Through promptings, He helps us make good choices and know the difference between right and wrong.
Heavenly Father, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Ghost are the three members of the Godhead.
