Getting Closer to Jesus Christ, the Prophets, the Apostles, and Early Christians

Come Follow Me has helped me to more personally connected to the Church that Christ originally set upon the earth, which had to later be restored because of a falling away of His original teachings, ordinances, and authority to act in God's name.

This curriculum is useful for any Christian hoping to have the Holy Ghost more fully in his or her daily life.  It has helped me stay true to a more in-depth study of the Gospel and gain a stronger testimony of the miracle of Christianity.

Think about it.  Jesus Christ teaches for three years in His official ministry, calls the Twelve Apostles to teach and bring people unto Him (doing away with the long-tradition of the Law of Moses), and those inexperienced, common men went forth doing what He asked by teaching the Gospel and converting small numbers of people to following Christ.  The apostles and many of these followers eventually we persecuted and murdered because of their teachings of the resurrected Christ.  A small group of Christians spread the Word.  Amazing, isn't it?  It brings to mind the mustard seed parable (Matthew 13:31-32-New Testament-Bible).  Something so small can grow into a tree!

This week I studied 1 Corinthians 8-13 by reading and following the suggestions to ponder the chapters throughout the week.  This personal and family scripture study guide (Come Follow Me) will bring anyone to know the men and women of ancient times who accepted Christ and tried their best to change from their old traditions to a new way of living according to what Christ taught.

Reading about the difficulties the early Apostle had trying to build Christ's Church and keep the flock going in the right direction isn't much different than it is today for many Christians. So many things are pulling us every which way.  We must work hard to maintain our faith.  The negative things happening in the world subject us to hopelessness unless we cling to the promises that we will be blessed if we continually keep the commandments and stay true to our God.

The scripture I posted to remind me to stay strong and faithful is from 

1 Corinthians 13:7, concerning Charity: 

 ...BEARETH ALL THINGS, BELIEVETH ALL THINGS, HOPETH ALL THINGS, ENDURETH ALL THINGS.

Let's DO this!
