I believe in Christ

I has to write out my testimony for a special christmas lesson we are doing for the young women in my ward, and I decided that since it was already type it out, why not post it on my blog? So in case any of you were wondering whether I have a testimony or not, here it is ...
...
I believe that Christ is the son of God, and was born as the redeemer of the world. I believe that He came here and was crucified to atone for my sins and save me from temporal and spiritual death. I believe that by His grace is the only way that I will be saved. I have accepted Him as my Savior. We live in dark times, and Christ is truly our only light and lifeline, it is only by and through Him that we can be saved. I believe that this is the only true church on the Earth today, and that it is lead by Gordon B. Hinkley, a living prophet, seer and revelator, who was chosen by God to guide us. I believe that Joseph Smith Jr. was a prophet of God. I believe he saw what he said he saw, and that he was called and preordained to restore the fullness of the gospel and reorganize Christ's church on the Earth. I believe that he translated the Book of Mormon from the gold plates, and that the words contained in that book are the words of God. I also believe that the words in the Bible, the Doctorine and Covenants and the Pearl of Great Price are composed of the words of God. These books are true, I believe this because I have read them and prayed about them. The Holy Ghost has borne witness to me of these things. I believe that if I follow the teachings shown by Christ, our exemplar, and keep the commandments that He has given to us in these books that I will be with God and his son, Jesus Christ, in the Celestial Kingdom when my mission on this Earth is done. I believe in the power of the Priesthood, I believe in its power because I have witnessed its power. I believe in Christ, and His gospel is true. I have a firm testimony in this fact and it will never waiver.
