Others that showed faith and received blessings because of it.
By faith, Joseph Smith translated the Book of Mormon, taught the Saints and lived his life in according to God’s commandments. We are forever blessed because of Joseph Smith’s faithfulness.
By Faith, the pioneers crossed the plains and endured persecutions which made it possible for us to enjoy The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints today with total religious freedom and the Church to be established across the whole earth.
By faith, my son received a blessing from President Eyring and was healed from a blood disorder that could have cost him his life or other suffering.
In Hebrews 12:1-2: We need to lay aside our sins and run this race of life with patience and trusting in the Lord, Jesus Christ. He ran the perfect race and we need to try to run this race of life like He did. This is how we can show our faith in Him.
Faith is different than belief. Faith is action when we perform the action because we trust in God, our Heavenly Father and His Son, Jesus Christ. All good things and miracles have happened and continue to happen because of faith. Without faith, the world could not have been created. Faith is the power by which miracles happen because all things must be done through Jesus Christ.
