Hope

WHAT HAVE I LEARNED ABOUT INCREASING MY HOPE TO BE RAISED UNTO ETERNAL LIFE?

A. I have learned what I must do to feel the Spirit each day. i.e.,

1. Pray, read the scriptures & see the gifts of heaven

2. While reading the scriptures, seek spiritual enlightment

3. I must hole this spiritual focus long enough to recognize the Spirit

B. I have learned to thank Heavenly Father and rejoice when I felt the Spirit, because He has counted me worthy to receive. (D&C 50:34)

C. I have learned to rejoice because I recognize that as I feel the Spirit, Heavenly Father is confirming to me:

1. I am clean & forgiven of my sins

2. I am in the Straight & Narrow Path

3. If I die this day, I will go to Paradise

4. If the Savior comes today, I will be lifted up

5. I am on schedule today for Exaltation & the riches of eternity

All of these gifts are given to me because of the Savior.
