President Spencer W. Kimball taught, “Sometimes it seems we
take the scriptures too much for granted because we do not fully
appreciate how rare a thing it is to possess them, and how blessed we
are because we do have them. We seem to have settled so comfortably into
our experiences in this world and become so accustomed to hearing the
gospel taught among us that it is hard for us to imagine it could ever
have been otherwise.”
I have often wondered what my life would be like without the Gospel of Jesus Christ, it is a scary thing to think about. What kind of person would I be? What kind of life would I be living? I truly am blessed to be a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. My knowledge of the gospel brings so much meaning, purpose and direction to my life.
