"In this troubled circumstance, we who believe in God and the corollary truth of absolute right and wrong have the challenge of living in a godless and increasingly amoral world. In this circumstance, all of us—and especially you of the rising generation—have a duty to stand up and speak up to affirm that God exists and that there are absolute truths His commandments establish." -Elder Dallin H. Oaks (lds.org)
I know that God exists, I declare my witness as his servant that he lives and loves each and everyone of us. I know he is our Heavenly Father and that his son is Jesus Christ the Savior and Redeemer of mankind. I know that the only way to true and everlasting happiness comes from living and obeying his commandments. I know that the only way to return home to him is through following in the footsteps of Jesus Christ, and by repenting of our mistakes and sins.
I know that there is only one true way in this world, and I am so grateful for the Gospel of Jesus Christ, the fullness of his everlasting gospel, that guides me to know what is true. I know that God established commandments for our benefit and that he never changes and neither do his commandments and I am grateful for this Truth.
I know that there IS TRUTH in this world of ever changing values and ideas, and that everyone can truly KNOW for themselves what is true and what is not.
I invite all of you to seek for yourselves the truth of God by reading in the Book of Mormon, which I know to be the true word of God along with the Bible, and to know for yourselves the "truth of all things" (moroni 10:5)
This is my Declaration of Truth
