Faith Gets Results

To get something you desire you first need faith. Faith first, results second.

There is no cost in choosing to believe that Jesus Christ is our Savior. If you first choose to have faith that he is then you will receive witnesses that bear it out and confirm it.

Some examples of faith as articulated by Moroni:

  • Law of Moses given after faith.
  • By faith Alma and Amulek caused the prison to fall.
  • By faith Nephi and Lehi converted the Lamanites.
  • By faith Ammon and his brothers changed the hearts of the Lamanites.
  • By faith the brother of Jared saw the Lord.

What great thing do you desire, what result are you looking for? First have faith.

- Ether 12:7-20
