Scriptures are a very Important tool

 For the past couple of weeks I've been thinking about the scriptures and how they can bless our lives. When I think of the scriptures, I think of Jesus Christ and His teachings that He has brought to us. There are a lot of different types of scriptures, some of them are: the Book of Mormon, Doctrine and Covenants, Pearl of Great Price, and the Bible. D. Todd Christoffersen said in General Conference: "The central purpose of all scripture is to fill our souls with faith in God the Father and in His Son, Jesus Christ." The scriptures enlarge our memory by helping us to remember the Lord and our relationship to Him and the Father. The scriptures also enlarge our memory by helping us not forget what we and earlier generations have learned. God uses the scripture to unmask erroneous thinking, false traditions, and sin with its devastating effects. The scriptures are the touchstone for measuring correctness and truth, and they make clear that real happiness lies not in denying the justice of God or trying to circumvent the consequences of sin but in repentance and forgiveness through the atoning grace of the Son of God. Scripture tutors us in principles and moral values essential to maintaining civil society, including integrity, responsibility, selflessness, fidelity, and charity. The word of God, as Alma said, is like a seed planted in our hearts thats produces faith as it begins to grow within us. Scriptural accounts of the faith of others serve to strengthen our own. Scriptures are revelation, and they will bring added revelation.
