Each of us can gain a personal testimony that Jesus is the Christ. Jesus said, “My doctrine is not mine, but his that sent me. If any man will do his will he will know of the doctrine, whether it be of God, or whether I speak of myself.” (John 7:16-17) I have sought truth, and I have found it. I have asked to know the truth, and I have received it. I have knocked on the door of salvation, and it has been opened unto me. Each of us can know the truth for ourselves. Jesus said, “I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father but by me.” (John 14:6)
In the final chapter of the Book of Mormon, Moroni writes: “Behold, I would exhort you that when ye shall read these things, if it be wisdom in God that ye should read them, that ye would remember how merciful the Lord hath been unto the children of men, from the creation of Adam even down until the time that ye shall receive these things, and ponder it in your hearts. And when ye shall receive these things, I would exhort you that ye would ask God, the Eternal Father, in the name of Christ, if these things are not true; and if ye shall ask with a sincere heart, with real intent, having faith in Christ, he will manifest the truth of it unto you, by the power of the Holy Ghost. And by the power of the Holy Ghost ye may know the truth of all things. And whatsoever thing is good is just and true; wherefore, nothing that is good denieth the Christ, but acknowledgeth that he is. And ye may know that he is, by the power of the Holy Ghost; wherefore I would exhort you that ye deny not the power of God; for he worketh by power, according to the faith of the children of men, the same today and tomorrow, and forever.”
