Articles of Faith

The first article of faith says -

"WE believe in God, the Eternal Father, and in His Son, Jesus Christ, and in the Holy Ghost." (Pearl of Great Price Articles of Faith 1:1)

One of the greatest mysteries to the world is the Holy Ghost. Of the Holy Ghost, President Spencer W. Kimball when a member of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles said -

"The Holy Ghost is a revelator. Every worthy soul is entitled to a revelation, and it comes through the Holy Ghost.

In Moroni’s farewell to the Lamanites, he says: ‘And by the power of the Holy Ghost ye may know the truth of all things.’ (Moroni 10:5.) He is a reminder and will bring to our remembrance the things which we have learned and which we need in the time thereof. He is an inspirer and will put words in our mouths, enlighten our understandings and direct our thoughts. He is a testifier and will bear record to us of the divinity of the Father and the Son and of Their missions and of the program which they have given us. He is a teacher and will increase our knowledge. He is a companion and will walk with us, inspiring us all along the way, guiding our footsteps, impeaching our weaknesses, strengthening our resolves and revealing to us righteous aims and purposes." (“The Fourth Article of Faith,” The Instructor, Apr. 1955, 108–9)

Elder Richard G. Scott, then a member of the Seventy, stated that -

"...through this gift we can receive pure truth to guide our lives, divine counsel to resolve our problems, and even the power of God to overcome obstacles.” (in Conference Report, Oct. 1979, 102; or Ensign, Nov. 1979, 70)

And Elder James E. Faust, then a member of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles, also explained -

"This powerful gift entitles the leaders and all worthy members of the Church to enjoy the gifts and companionship of the Holy Ghost, a member of the Godhead whose function is to inspire, reveal, and teach ‘all things’ (see John 14:26). The result of this endowment is that . . . the leadership and membership of this church have enjoyed, and now enjoy, continuous revelation and inspiration directing them in what is right and good." (in Conference Report, Apr. 1980, 15; or Ensign, May 1980, 12)

I have found these statements to be true!
