One site visitor, Jeff Smith, left a great comment on the post, "FAQ: What is the Doctrine and Covenants?" where he shared why he joined The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. He said:

"For me it is quite simply one of the main reasons I decided to become a Latter-Day Saint 20 years ago. It was evidence to me that the Age of God, so to speak, did not end 2000 years ago. That there are modern-day prophets who can impart to us guidance from our Father in Heaven is a knowledge that would strengthen all the churches of the world if they would only listen" (comment 1).

I was born into the church, meaning my parents are members, and was actively raised with the gospel of Jesus Christ. Throughout my life I have chosen to act upon the teachings I was raised with: prayer, scripture study, church attendance, serving a mission, holding callings, etc. A few years ago I went through a severe trial that questioned all my beliefs. It all came down to asking myself the following questions:

• Did I believe in God- that He really existed?
• Did I believe God was my Heavenly Father and that I was His daughter?
• Did I believe in Jesus Christ?
• Did I believe that Christ was my Savior and atoned for my sins?

After asking myself these questions the answer was clearly, "Yes" because I KNEW I could not deny it. I had had too many experiences throughout my life that testified to me of the reality of God, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Ghost. I knew that if I denied it I would be lying and God would know it.

Why are you a member of the Church of Jesus Christ? Please share your testimony and experiences with us!
