Is there a God?

First things first.

• Is there a God?
• Who is God?
• What is His purpose for me?

These simple yet profound questions have been the focus and debate among some of the greatest minds the world has ever known. The truth is that these are questions to which God, our loving Father in Heaven, freely gives the answers. In fact it is a great desire of His for us to have a knowledge of Him and His plan for each of us. The Scriptures(Holy Bible) teach us that we are the literal sons and daughters of God and He is literally our Father. (see Romans 8:16-17 , + Hebrews 12:9)
In an ancient set of Scripture that has been translated and revealed to us through a modern day prophet, known as the Book Of Mormon, we find the accounts of 2 great kings who themselves had similar questions as these three we've established. In the Book of Alma chapters 18 and 22, we read of King Lamoni and his father(I invite you to click on the chapter number and read for yourself). Their separate experiences lead them each to the same end, to a knowledge of the existence of God and His love and purpose for them. This understanding changed their hearts and lives forever. We can learn much from the experience of these two men. If we follow their example by showing our faith and willingness to believe on Jesus Christ, meaning we are willing to keep his commandments and follow His example then we also have the promise and privilege of receiving the witness of the Spirit of God Who has great power teach teach God's children the truth of all things. Moroni 10:5

God's plan for us is made very clear and simple in Moses 1:39, where we are informed that all His labor and effort is towards bringing us home to live with him in eternal happiness. Living in Heaven with our Heavenly Father is scripturally referred to as eternal life.
Now knowing that God's mission for you is to have you return to live with him again, wouldn't it make sense for Him to have given you some instruction on exactly how to do that? Well He has. These are the scriptures. The scriptures, The Book Of Mormon + The Bible, are God's instruction to all given through his chosen mouthpieces.

Your Father in Heaven does know, love, and care for you more than you likely realize. He wishes that you as His son or daughter would seek to know and love Him with that same energy of heart. If you do, you will find him and the answers to these and many more questions of the soul. John 17:3
