1.1 Our Responsibility to Share Light and Truth

When the Savior explained His authority to Pilate, He said, “To this end was I born, and for this cause came I into the world, that I should bear witness unto the truth” (John 18:37). Today, followers of Jesus Christ continue to bear witness of truth.

When we communicate on behalf of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, we commit ourselves to share messages of truth (see 3.2). We look to God the Father and His Son Jesus Christ as our source of eternal truth. As we share that truth, it can be confirmed to the hearts of God’s children by the Holy Ghost.

Eternal truth helps God’s children feel His love and changes lives. We remember that the word of God can have a “more powerful effect upon the minds of the people than the sword, or anything else, which [has] happened unto them” (Alma 31:5).
