Bible Stories Teach Me How to Live the Gospel

February 2008, Talk #2

From the story of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden to the teachings of the Apostles of Christ's church, the stories found in the Holy Bible help me learn how to live the gospel.


The Bible helps me understand Heavenly Father's plan and what I must to to live with him again.

One story that helps me live the gospel is from the book of Exodus.

God chose a man named Moses to be the prophet to lead the children of Israel out of captivity in Egypt. Moses parted the Red Sea to help his people escape from the armies that were chasing them. Later, Moses asked God to help his people who did not have any food. God listened to Moses and gave them manna to eat.

After Moses and his people had been in the wilderness for two months, Moses went up on a mountain and spoke to the Lord. He told Moses to gather all of the people together and the lord taught them rules that they should follow. These rules are known as "The Ten Commandments".

Even though the Ten Commandments were given to people thousands of years ago, they are still very important today. By living these commandments each of us can be on the path to eternal life.

Some of the ways that I am trying to live the gospel and obey the commandments are by: Loving Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ; Keeping the Sabbath Day Holy; Honoring my parents; Using clean language; and Treating others with love and respect.

I am grateful for the stories of the Bible. I know that by studying the Bible we can learn how to live the gospel and follow Heavenly Father's plan.
