To know Jesus Christ, is to know Heavenly Father

As we been packing to move, we were packing books and we have a lot of church books so I noticed one which said "Knowing Christ" author is  George W. Pace
I had a thought of reading it,  so I may know my Savior better and build my relationship with him and my Heavenly Father.

I have reach to page 5 and I just want to share some of my notes with you, from what I have learned.
First I would recommend the book, it is truly amazing, it will strengthen you're relationship with you're Heavenly Father and his beloved Son.

 In the book he says "The Savior said, "Neither knoweth any man the Father, save the Son, and he whomsoever the Son will reveal him."
Matthew 11:27- end quote

As we come to know the Son, we come to know the Father, the greatest revelation of our Heavenly Father is Jesus Christ.

Jesus came to the earth for his Father's will.
John 6:38 "For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me."
He told the Israelites on the America continent as a resurrected being the same
3rd Nephi 27: 13-14 " 13 Behold I have given unto you my gospel, and this is the gospel which I have given unto you—that I came into the world to do the will of my Father, because my Father sent me.

 14 And my Father sent me that I might be lifted up upon the cross; and after that I had been lifted up upon the cross, that I might draw all men unto me, that as I have been lifted up by men even so should men be lifted up by the Father, to stand before me, to be judged of their works, whether they be good or whether they be evil"


This is something which I liked from the book
quote-As we seek for eternal life, we acknowledge the Savior's teaching that "no man cometh unto the Father, but by me." John 14:6
When we accept the Savior as the Son of God, we recognize that in his name and his name alone is salvation possible
2nd Nephi 25:20 "  And now, my brethren, I have spoken plainly that ye cannot err. And as the Lord God liveth that brought Israel up out of the land of Egypt, and gave unto Moses power that he should heal the nations after they had been bitten by the poisonous serpents, if they would cast their eyes unto the serpent which he did raise up before them, and also gave him power that he should smite the rock and the water should come forth; yea, behold I say unto you, that as these things are true, and as the Lord God liveth, there is none other name given under heaven save it be this Jesus Christ, of which I have spoken, whereby man can be saved."
End quote

I will keep on reading this book, for I want to know my Savior better along with my Heavenly Father.
As we were packing, a piece of paper fell out of a book, I picked it up and this is what it said "D&C 29:39 Agents unto themselves"
It reads "And it must needs be that the devil should tempt the children of men, or they could not be agents unto themselves; for if they never should have bitter they could not know the sweet"
Endure to the end, stay strong in the Gospel and you won't regret it
