This Week In School

"I AM A CHILD OF GOD"

Virtue of the week: ETERNAL PERSPECTIVE

Scripture of the week: "The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit that we are children of God!" Romans 8:16
Article of Faith: #11 We claim the privilege of worshiping Almighty God, according to the dictates of our own conscience, and allow all men the same privilege. Let them worship how, where, or what they may.
Quote #1: "If you really know that you are a child of God, you will also know that he expects much of you-His Child!" -Gordon B. Hinckley (General Conference 2003)
Quote #2: "Never forget my dear young friends that you are really a child of God who has inherited something of His divine nature. One whom He loves, and desires to help and bless" -Gordon B. Hinckley (General Conference 2003)
We discussed the importance of really knowing that we are a literal son or daughter of Heavenly Father. When we know this our choices are different. When we really know this we treat others differently. We talked about people from history and the scriptures who knew who they were as evidenced by the choices that they made, their response to commands from God, and their desires to make the world a better place.
