How can studying the scriptures help me learn about Heavenly Father?
Throughout the ages, prophets have revealed truths about the nature of God. As we diligently study their testimonies in the scriptures, we can learn about Heavenly Father’s attributes and increase our faith and testimonies. The better we understand the nature of our Heavenly Father, the better we understand our own divine potential as His spirit children.
Questions I asked during this lesson:
What happens to those who do not have or do not use the scriptures?
Why are scriptures important in helping us understand God?
Read: Alma 37: 8-9,
We watched the video-The Blessings of Scriptures. Which talks about people that went to great lengths so we could all study and have the scriptures. We then wrote on the board truths about God. I had the class find a scripture and then write what it teaches us about God.
The central purpose of all scriptures is to fill our souls with faith in God the Father and in His Son, Jesus Christ. -Elder Christofferson
We are blessed with so many different kind of scriptures: the Holy Bible, the Book of Mormon, the Doctrine and Covenants, the Pearl of Great Price, and even words of the prophets from General Conference. I hope that we realize how lucky we are to have all of these.
Studying the scriptures kind of reminds me of searching for gold. You can’t just go to any old place and search for gold right. Just like learning about the Godhead you have to search in the scriptures to learn more about them. You have to have a purpose when you are searching for gold and you have to have a purpose when your studying the scriptures.
When we search the scriptures we find GOLDEN information about the Godhead. How to find gold in the scriptures: Prepare with prayer, Ask questions, Study the words, Search for testimonies, Be diligent and always keep learning. Think of what others ways we can find gold in the scriptures.
I’m so grateful for the scriptures and for the blessings they are in my life. They have helped me learn about Heavenly Father and have made it so I have a testimony of His love for me and the rest of His children. I hope and pray that we can keep searching the scriptures for this golden information about Him and learn to become more like Him.
How cute are these little bags of gold? I loved how it had an old fashioned feel with the drawstring bags. I filled them with chocolate gold nuggets and wrote on the front GOLD with a Sharpie to get the look I wanted. I also had a little printable cut out for them to take along with a little bag of gold. You can find the free printable below.
