The Fourth Article of Faith of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints

"We believe that the first principles and ordinances of the Gospel are: first, Faith in the Lord Jesus Christ: second, Repentance; third, Baptism by immersion for the remission of sins; fourth, Laying on of hands for the gift of the Holy Ghost."

"He is risen...."

Beautiful day today...I was struck by the profound Easter message from Thomas S. Monson, President of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Here are the closing words of his testimony of the resurrection of our Savior Jesus Christ:

“…Of Him who delivered each of us from endless death, I testify He is a teacher of truth—but He is more than a teacher. He is the exemplar of the perfect life—but He is more than an exemplar. He is the great physician—but He is more than a physician. He is the literal Savior of the world, the Son of God, the Prince of Peace, the Holy One of Israel, even the risen Lord, who declared, “I am the first and the last; I am he who liveth, I am he who was slain; I am your advocate with the Father” (D&C 110:4).”
“Oh, sweet the joy this sentence gives: ‘I know that my Redeemer lives!'”
