Answers from an Apostle
Why do we need the gift of the Holy Ghost?
By Elder Quentin L. Cook
Of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles

As part of Heavenly Father’s plan of happiness, He has given us the gift of the Holy Ghost.
The Holy Ghost helps us avoid temptations and helps us stay clean from sin.
The Holy Ghost warns us so we can stay safe from danger. He comforts us and leads us through challenges.
We need to follow the promptings of the Holy Ghost to travel safely through life.
