My testimony of Jesus Christ and of His Gospel by Michael Henry

After telling as much as I have about my life, my hope is that my life bears testimony that
there is a God who loves me as an individual and who has given me an opportunity to lead my
life in such a way as to prepare for and earn the right to live with my Father in Heaven and with
my family for all eternity. I hope that my life bears testimony that without the Atonement of
Jesus Christ that my life would have not had any eternal value. I hope that my life bears
testimony that the Holy Ghost is absolutely essential for me to find the path through this life to
encounter the way to eternal joy and happiness.
I bear my testimony that God does live, that we knew Him in the Spirit World before we
came to Earth and that we made enough good choices there to be rewarded with the
opportunity to come to Earth in order to prepare for and earn the right to return to Him for an
eternal reward. I bear my testimony that Jesus Christ was selected in the pre-Earth life to come
to Earth to suffer and die for us so that we might have the means to repent of our sins,
misdeeds, and lack of honorable decisions and actions, in order to be blessed with the Lord’s
choicest blessings. I bear testimony that the Holy Ghost has consistently found the way to show
me the right path to follow in order to qualify for an eternal reward.
I bear my testimony that one of the choicest of all of God’s and Jesus Christ’s blessings to us is
that Jesus Christ acted for His Father when he designed the Plan of Salvation which is the only way
for us to qualify for all of His blessings. I bear testimony that Jesus Christ acted for His Father
when He established His Church, the Church of Jesus Christ. I bear my testimony that Jesus Christ acted
for His Father when he directed the restoration of His Church, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day
Saints, through the prophet, Joseph Smith. I bear my testimony that the Holy Ghost has always been here
to help guide me when I open my heart to receive these marvelous blessings.
I know that these things are true. The spirit has testified to me on uncountable instances of their
veracity. I know that the Lord wants us to act in such a way that we will be able to return and live with
Him and with our wonderful families for all eternity. My greatest hope is that I will have an eternity of joy
and happiness with Francie and my family. I know that the heavenly rewards that await each of us are
infinitely greater than the cost for us to follow Him. I bear this testimony in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
