4th Article of Faith Primary Talk

In the Bible there's a scripture that says "Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead..."

This scripture teaches us that we must do more than just believe or have faith to be able to live with our Heavenly Father again. We have to do things or do "works" throughout our life.

The fourth article of faith is a perfect example of the things we need to do. It says: "We believe that the first principles and ordinances of the Gospel are;

First faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.
We know that we need to have faith and believe in Jesus Christ not just once but every day.

Second repentance.
None of us are perfect. We will all make mistakes. But we have the opportunity to repent every day to be forgiven of our sins.

Third baptism by immersion for the remission of sins
We have to be baptized by someone who has the proper authority. We are only baptized once. This is an ordinance. It's the first ordinance we do.

Forth, laying on of hands for the gift of the Holy Ghost.
We only do this one time as well, so this is also an ordinance.

I was baptized and received the gift of the Holy Ghost in January 2013 by my dad who has the priesthood authority.

I know that as I get older there will be more ordinances that I will need to do, like receive the priesthood and go to the temple. But for now, it's important that I have faith and repent each day so that someday I can return to heaven to live with my heavenly father and my family forever.

I know this church is true.  I am thankful for my testimony.
I say these things in the name of Jesus Christ, amen.
