Seventeen Points of the True Church


The Gospel of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints is based on a foundation of true principals.
When I was investigating the church a missionary in our ward gave me these 17 scriptures for me to read and ponder upon along with my daily prayers. I kept these scriptures close to my heart as I began to slowly build a testimony that is firm and unwavering
