Conversion Is My Goal

Conversion Is My Goal

Conversion is our Goal (Link to Come Follow Me 2024, Introductory Lesson)




2 Corinthians 5:17 How can I become a new creature through my gospel study? To become truly converted, I need to apply the things that I learn and repent and change as necessary. Are you ready?

In order to do this I need heaven’s help. I cannot do it without the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. I need to pray to Heavenly Father in Jesus’s name in fervent prayer, relying on Them to help me choose to change my heart, my views, my actions, and my worldly nature; and I need to beg Them for the Holy Ghost to help guide me as I seek to make those necessary changes.

True conversion takes personal and consistent effort; it will require me to have the influence of the Holy Ghost in my daily life, in my minute-to-minute activities.

John 16:13 I am thankful to know that the Holy Ghost’s mission is to guide me to all truth. That also means that I need to seek after truth.

John 14:26 I am also thankful to know that the Holy Ghost is a Comforter. That has been a great blessing to me throughout my life, as He has witnessed to me of my Heavenly Father’s love and helped me to know when my offerings have been acceptable. I’m thankful to know that He can teach me all things and help to bring all things to my remembrance. That’s amazing. I think we only usually think of that as pertaining to our premortal life; but, I know there is much that I knew in the life before that I do not remember now. The Holy Ghost can help me recognize truth and remember those things that I once knew.

Seeking the Spirit is essential to the deepening of my conversion. This realization should become a goal that governs my choices and guides my thoughts and actions. When I am sensitive to the Spirit, I know what is pleasing to my Father and what is not. As I choose those things that please Him, He will allow me to have a greater measure of the Spirit, which will aid in my progression and conversion.

When we live worthily of having the presence of the Holy Ghost with us and of partaking of the sacrament, covenanting to always remember and follow Jesus, we will also be worth to live in the presence of our Heavenly Parents and our Savior Jesus Christ. I am so thankful for our Father’s plan for my happiness. In 2024, I am going to be working on strengthening my conversion and inviting others to come unto Christ in meaningful ways.

I read this section and took these notes. This will be a basis for not only my study this year, but also for strengthening my relationship with my Heavenly Father and some refining.

Christmas Study Plan: (for 19-25 Dec): https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/manual/christmas-study-plan-2024?lang=eng Helaman 14:5 I am so thankful for the new star that appeared to testify of Jesus’s birth! “And behold, there shall a new star arise, such an one as ye never have beheld; and this also shall be a sign unto you.” Prophets have always testified of Jesus Christ. They told of His birth! Isaiah 9:6 “For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given.” President Russell M. Nelson said, “[Jesus Christ’s birth was] foreseen by prophets since the days of Adam [and Eve].” Isaiah 9:6–7 Isaiah 6  For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. 7  Of the increase of  his  government and peace  there shal...

52 He Shall Come into the World to Redeem His People

He Shall Come into the World to Redeem His People He Shall Come into the World to Redeem His People CHRISTMAS The Book of Mormon: Another Testament of Jesus Christ holds the purpose of “the convincing of [all people] that Jesus is the Christ” ( title page ). Each prophet testified of Him. The Brother of Jared saw Jesus’s Spirit, as He was before He was born into this world. Nephi witnessed His mortal ministry. Samuel proclaimed signs of His birth and death. Nephi and Jesus’s other disciples kneeled before the Lord and felt the prints from the nails in his hands and feet and the gash in his side. They all knew, “There is no other way nor means whereby man can be saved, only through the atoning blood of Jesus Christ, who … cometh to redeem the world” ( Helaman 5:9 ). How has The Book of Mormon: Another Testament of Jesus Christ strengthened your testimony of Him? How have you drawn closer to Him as you have worshiped and served with other Christians? How are you cherishing the gi...
