Scripture Power!

The scriptures bring a wonderful spirit when they are read with an open heart and curious mind. I have an experience to share to prove this statement. When I was reading in the Book of Mormon one night, I came across this scripture that says, " Behold, I am Jesus Christ, whom the prophets testified shall into the world." When I read that scripture, I instantly had the goose bumps! It was simple, but the message that it proclaimed was very powerful. As I continued to read, the people came and felt the prints in His hands and in His feet so that they would know that Jesus is the Savior of the world. They did so and they came to a knowledge that it really was He who the prophets testified about. Through the scriptures we read accounts that share amazing stories that prove that Jesus is the Christ. President Boyd K. Packer said, "Peace can be settled in the heart of each who turns to the scriptures and unlocks the promises of protection and redemption that are taught therein." I was filled with peace and now I completely understand that through Jesus Christ, I can have peace and joy in this life. The scriptures bring the power of the Atonement into our lives and our homes as we read them and apply the principles that are taught within. I know that this is true. Please put it to the test. Study the scriptures and pray to understand them. I promise that you will have protection against the adversary. Let the power of the scriptures come into your life!
