Robyn Lebron hey elieve Jesus lived a sinless life and that His suffering at Gethsemane, the shedding of His blood, His crucifixion, His death and resurrection were sufficient to satisfy the demands of eternal justice and make an infinite atonement for the sins of all humanity since the Fall of Adam They believe in Jesus’s literal bodily resurrection and that He currently sits at the right hand of God the Father They believe Jesus is united in purpose with the Father but that the Father and the Son are distinct glorified beings of heavenly flesh and bone, rather than solely spirit Basic Doctrine The church teaches that sometime after the events depicted in the New Testament, there was a Great Apostasy or loss of authority to lead Christ’s church to preach the Gospel and administer the ordinances of the church Jesus Christ is viewed as the head of the church, leading it today through revelations given to a hierarchy of priesthood leaders to whom the authority has been restored They teach that revelation from God continues today Individuals can also receive personal revelations with regards to their own lives, if they seek for answers in prayer Accordingly, revelation to direct the entire church comes to the president; revelation to direct a stake comes to the stake president; for a ward, to the bishop; and so forth Latter-day Saints also believe that individuals can receive personal revelation and divine guidance in raising their families and managing their personal affairs with promptings from the Holy Ghost For members of the church, the greatest commandment is to love God with all their heart and the second is to love others as they love themselves All other commandments are considered appendages to these great commandments The first principles and ordinances of the gospel are faith in Jesus Christ, repentance, baptism and receiving the gift of the Holy Ghost It is important to note that faith in God is more than a theoretical belief in Him; it is a principle of action and power To have faith in God is to be willing to act on your belief in Him Having faith causes you to try as hard as you can to learn about and become more like your Savior
