Families

Why are families so important to the Mormon faith?

The Family is Central to God's Plan

   We Believe that God put families here to help give us support and strengthen us. The family is there to help us during trials and hard times. It is easy to say that with their support, we grow and become better. I don't know what I would do without my family. We grow together, we learn to love each other, and it is through the family that we become close to God and his son, Jesus Christ. You could say we are all brothers and sisters and we all belong to our Father in Heaven. This is all central to God's plan.

Does God Love All his Children?

   YES! God is no respecter of persons. He loves those who sin and those who don't. He loves everyone! Sometimes we think God forgets us. We think the trials we have or the problems we face mean that God does not love us. This is not true! He will love us always. He cries when you are sad and He rejoices when you are happy. He wants you to be happy. As a family, that happiness comes when you have your first child or when you have children at all. That happiness comes from your children. Through this, we see how God feels about you personally. He loves all his children.

The Gospel Of Jesus Christ Brings Safety to the Home

    The world today is full of a lot of things that can bring us down. If we let it, the world will take us and mold us into something we don't want. That is why we need a place where we can be safe from the world. A place where we can learn, play,  and grow. The home is where great families are built. With the Gospel of Jesus Christ we let God, not the world, mold us, because the Gospel of Jesus Christ gives us the power to change and grow. As we make His Gospel part of our home, we can have safety in the home.
