Why I Love Jesus Christ

Jesus Christ is important to me because of his example. He was honest, charitable, and perfect in every aspect of His life. If He did not set the example I would not know for sure what is right. Without His example I would have no goal and if I have no goal then I can have no progress. Christ is my light.

I love Jesus Christ because he has sacrificed so much for me and blessed me so much. He has given me my family and the opportunity to return to Heaven. He is my example and I strive to be like Him. Without Christ I wouldn’t have a strong foundation in my life. I would be lost. But with Christ in my life I can do anything. He gives me the opportunity to learn every day so that one day I can be like Him.

Why I love Jesus is He is someone to strive to be like. We need somebody to be like. Who better than Jesus? I love Jesus because he keeps us on His mind. We are important to Him. He loves us unconditionally. That’s why I love Jesus.

It is very comforting to know that if we make a mistake that we aren’t lost forever and can’t come back. The main reason I love Jesus Christ is because he preformed the Atonement. Without the Atonement our live would be dramatically different and worse. Another reason is because of how much he loves us. His love is never ending and he knows each and every one of us personally and blesses our lives so much. Reading he scriptures has really cemented that knowledge in my testimony.

I love Jesus Christ because of what He has done for me. I did not earn anything He has given me, but I received it as a gift given and paid for through pain, suffering, and endless mercy and love.
My soul was sick, full of doubt, unanswered questions, unworthiness, and uncertainty. As He did for the afflicted in Jerusalem, He healed me. I was blind, unwilling to see anything short of mediocrity. As if with clay, He gave me my sight. I was deaf, unwilling to accept God’s word. Because of His miraculous power, my ears have been unstopped. I was a debtor, laden with an unconquerable debt that rendered me powerless. He paid that infinite price.
Because of Jesus Christ, you can be redeemed, just as I or anyone else can. As a sculptor works with clay or marble, Jesus will take us as we are and make us into something far beyond our scope of imagining. May we ever allow His mercy to take effect upon our souls.

Jesus Christ empowers me with confidence and strength and encouragement. He motivates me to do things I would never do alone. He accepts me and loves me for who I am and the way I am.  He doesn’t expect me to be perfect. He just wants me to move forward closer toward Him each day. I don’t feel ashamed when I make a mistake because I know He is there with pure love cheering me on through my triumphs and through all of my mistakes. Knowing He loves everyone helps me strive to be as patient with others as He is with me. Christ brings great peace to my life – Peace that I experience in no other way. What could be better than that? That is the greatest gift we can ever receive! I love what He does for me!!!
