The 8th article of faith states: "We believe the Bible to be the word of God as far as it is translated correctly; we also believe the Book of Mormon to be the word of God."
The Bible and the Book of Mormon are both witnesses of Jesus Christ. They teach that He is the Son of God, that He is our example and that he lived a perfect life. They testify that He is the Savior of the world, that he died for us and because of his sacrifice we can live with Heavenly Father again.
As members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints we are blessed to have other scriptures that help us better understand the Bible and the teachings of Jesus Christ. These scriptures including the Book of Mormon, the Doctrine and Covenants and the Pearl of Great Price all testify of Christ.
Our Heavenly Father has promised us great blessing for reading, studying and obeying the scriptures. When we read about Jesus in the scriptures the Holy Ghost will help us know that what we are reading is true.
I am thankful for the scriptures. I know that they testify of Jesus Christ and that by studying the stories found in the Bible and Book of Mormon my testimony of Jesus Christ will grow.
