Sharing What You Believe
Adapted from “A Child and a Disciple,” Liahona, May 2003, 29–32.
My father was a scientist. Once I read a talk he gave to a large group. In it, he spoke of the Creation and a Creator as he talked about science. I knew that few in the group shared his faith. So I said to him with wonder, “Dad, you shared your testimony.”
He looked at me with surprise on his face and said, “Did I?” He had not even known he was being brave. He simply said what he knew was true.
All of us who have been baptized have promised to share the gospel. We can pray with faith to feel the Savior’s love for us and for all we meet. You will be excited about the Lord’s Church and His work, and it will show. Speaking what you believe will be part of who you are.
Simple Ways to Share
You can share the gospel in many ways! Write what you could say to each person to share what you believe. The first one has been done for you.
