The Doctrine of Christ, if I were asked to sum up the doctrine of Christ in one word it would be Love. Christ lived his life through love, and in what he taught was love. Love thy God, Love thy neighbor, Love thy family.
In 2 Nephi 31: 5-7, These verses describe Jesus Christ's example in showing all children of men how they may come closer to God. In verse 7 it says even though Jesus Christ was holy he “Showeth unto the children of men that, according to the flesh he Humbleth himself before the Father and Witnesseth unto the Father that he would be Obedient unto him in keeping his commandments.” As a missionary you are asked to be as Christ, To S.H.O.W. unto his brothers and sisters how to live and come unto God. I find that when learning, the best thing to do is watch someone first to know how to perform the task on your own. Jesus Christ came among unrighteous men to S.H.O.W. us the way when he had no reason other then love, to do so.
Throughout his life Jesus Christ taught Patience, Forgiveness, Sacrifice, Charity, Compassion, Humility, and much, much more which are elements of love. Though I love Jesus Christ I am not perfect with all of these qualities, but through his example I find the desire and inspiration to be like Christ..
The Doctrine of Christ also talks about Faith, Repentance, Baptism, Recieving the Holy Ghost, and Enduring to the end. These are the things that bring us closer to our Heavenly Father that wouldn’t be possible with out Jesus Christ and his love for us. With these 5 keys we are freed from Satan’s grasp in enduring to the end. When I have taken the time to take advantage of these remarkable blessings in my life I find myself closer to God and to my home. I know that with these key components (blessings) that we can receive even more blessings when taking advantage of them. They open your eyes, mind, and spirit to love what God has for us, that no matter what experience we go through, no matter what mistakes we have made, that his love is ever lasting. As a missionary i get to share the Doctrine of Christ on my mission, I share that love is the foundation of his gospel.
