So, one thing that I love about the Restoration, is that it truly restores the true Nature of God. It surprised me when I came out here how many people don't view God as A) their Father, and B) that He loves them! The best evidence we have of this is the most common scripture that people know about! John 3:16 "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." He loved us so much that he gave...He sent his Son to die for us. He knew that we couldn't return back to His presence, so he asked his Only Begotten to come down here to pay the price that no one else could, even if we had the eternity to do it. I'm sure he was not only saddened to see his Son on the cross, I'm sure he wept as he watched his Son and couldn't do a thing to help him, because it was the only way. I love my Heavenly Father for that gift that is so freely given to us.
He has also given us commandments! It sounds weird that commandments are evidence of His love for us! He knows us better than we know ourselves. He knows what makes us happy! He gives us commandments that when we are obedient to them, we find true happiness! We find satisfaction! If we want to really find out if God loves us, put his will to the test. Try it! Just like anything else in life, we have to apply what we want to do. God is the same way. If we want to know God, we need to trust him (have faith), and follow him in doing what he asks. When we do this, not only will you be happy and satisfied with life, you will see blessings that will amaze you
