COMMON QUESTIONS

Are members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints Christian?

Yes! As members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, we
believe Jesus Christ is the Son of God and the Savior of the World. He loves us
all more than we can imagine. We consider ourselves devoted followers of Jesus.
While some of our beliefs are distinct, we believe that through His life,
ministry, sacrifice, and resurrection, Jesus Christ saves us from sin,
suffering, and death.

What are Church services like?

Church service times vary from congregation to congregation. However, you can
always count on one main worship service for everyone, followed by classes for
children, youth, and adults.

The service for everyone is called “sacrament meeting.” This meeting consists of
songs, prayers, and sermons (or “talks”) given by different members of the
congregation every week. But the most important part of the meeting is when we
take the sacrament (which is similar to communion) to remember the Savior.

Why does The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints have temples?

For Latter-day Saints, a temple is different from other Church buildings. The
temple is a place where Latter-day Saints receive special instruction about God
and Jesus Christ. In the temple, members make eternal covenants (or promises)
with God. This includes promises to keep the commandments, live the gospel of
Jesus Christ, be faithful in marriage, and to help take care of each other by
sharing what we have. 

Also, because we believe families are forever, much of the work done inside
temples is to make family bonds even stronger. Marriages in the temple are
performed to last eternally, not just “until death do you part.” Parents and
children become eternal families in temples. Ancestors can also receive all the
blessings of the temple if someone performs the sacred ordinances in their
behalf and they accept that act of service. Temples are busy places!

What is the Book of Mormon?

The Book of Mormon is a book of inspired scripture that teaches us about God and
Jesus Christ. It helps us receive direction for our personal lives and can help
us feel closer to Jesus Christ. Where does the name come from? Hundreds of years
ago, an ancient prophet named Mormon compiled a record of his people. They faced
a lot of the same challenges that we do. And just like us, they found strength
when they turned to Jesus Christ. Get an introduction to the Book of Mormon with
missionaries.

The Book of Mormon stands alongside the Bible as another testament of Jesus
Christ and His divine mission as the Savior and Redeemer of the world. Together,
the Bible and the Book of Mormon provide more understanding of God’s great love
for all of us and can help us come closer to Him. 

Learn more about how the Bible and Book of Mormon work together.

Do we believe in the Bible?

Yes. The Bible is the word of God, a sacred volume of scripture, and following
its teachings brings joy to our lives. Along with the Bible, we also find
inspiration in other books of scripture unique to The Church of Jesus Christ of
Latter-day Saints. They all work together to teach us important truths about God
and Jesus Christ.

MESSAGE OF HOPE

So many wonderful things are ahead. In coming days, we will see the greatest
manifestations of the Savior’s power that the world has ever seen. Between now
and the time He returns “with power and great glory,” (Joseph Smith-Matthew
1:36), He will bestow countless privileges, blessings, and miracles upon the
faithful.
Russell M. Nelson
Prophet and president of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints
