In his talk “Gaining a Testimony of God the Father; Jesus Christ; and the Holy Ghost,” Elder Robert D Hales, speaks about the importance of having a testimony of the Godhead. He shares that much of his own testimony came when he studied the Articles of Faith as a young boy. He then reviews the First Vision. He explains that Joseph Smith went to the grove to pray, and that Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ came and visited him there.
Elder Hales then talks specifically about Jesus Christ and his relationship to Heavenly Father. He shares the story of Jesus teaching in the temple when he was twelve, and saying that he was about his father’s business. Elder Hales also points out the several times that Heavenly Father has introduced Jesus to us as His son, and told us to “hear him”.
Elder Hales then goes on to speak specifically about Christ’s mission on earth. He speaks of the Atonement, and Crucifixion and that without it we could not be saved. He also talks about the Intercessory Prayer, and the way that Christ talks to Heavenly Father.
Elder Hales closes his talk by bearing his testimony of the divinity of the Savior and of His mission on this earth.
This is a wonderful talk. It explains a great deal on our view of the Godhead. It references a lot of scriptures, so that you can read and understand for yourself. If you have struggled with this, or know others who struggle with understanding the Godhead this is an excellent talk to read. This is one point of doctrine in which we different from many other religions. This talk uses scriptures from the New Testament to illustrate our beliefs. I hope that you will take the time to read this talk, and to gain a testimony of the Godhead.
