Scripture Journal

Make or buy a notebook that has at least 12 pages in it. Issues of the Liahona this year will contain a scripture and activities for you to do in your scripture journal. If you need help reading, writing, or understanding the scripture or activity, you can ask parents, older brothers or sisters, friends, or Primary teachers for help.

Read the first article of faith. You can find it in the Pearl of Great Price.

Pray to know that this article of faith is true. Ask to feel the love of Heavenly Father and His Son, Jesus Christ. This love is called charity.

Memorize the article of faith.

Choose one of these activities, or create your own:

• Help someone else learn this scripture.

• Pray for someone else to feel God’s love.

• When we feel the love of Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ, we believe in Them. We believe that we are children of God. We show that we believe He is our Heavenly Father by thanking Him for our blessings. When you see your doorknob tag (see page 67), think of the blessings you have received that day.

How does what you have done help you understand this scripture?

Write in your journal about what you have done, or draw a picture of how you feel knowing Heavenly Father and Jesus love you.

Cut out the doorknob tag below. Fold the doorknob tag on the dotted line. Think about the blessings Heavenly Father has given you, and write some of them on the list. Hang the doorknob tag where you will see it often.
