✨ The Doctrine of Christ – Heaven’s Formula for Peace

(Day 5 of “Finding Joy and Peace in a World of Contention” Series)

We’ve talked about the Lord’s warning, the rod in Lehi’s dream, the danger of borrowed light, and the coming modern test.

Today we come to the heart of the matter — the Doctrine of Christ.
This is heaven’s formula for peace no matter how loud the world gets.

📜 Nephi’s Clear Teaching

In 2 Nephi 31–32, Nephi distills the gospel into four simple steps:

  1. Faith in Jesus Christ

  2. Repentance

  3. Baptism by water

  4. Receiving the Holy Ghost

Not once. Not as a checklist. But as a way of life.

🕊️ Receiving the Holy Ghost

“Receiving” the Holy Ghost isn’t a one-time ordinance where hands are laid on your head.
It’s a continual process of:

  • Learning to recognize His whisperings.

  • Testing every impression against the Savior’s words.

  • Obeying promptly when He speaks.

Nephi says in 2 Nephi 32:5:

“If ye will enter in by the way, and receive the Holy Ghost, it will show unto you all things what ye should do.”

“All things” — not just on Sundays, not just in a crisis, but every day.

🪶 The Nemenhah Witness

The Nemenhah Records confirm this:

“When the Haymehnay is with you, you walk in My Way. When you do not hearken, you walk in your own.” (Book of Tsihohnayah Ahkehkthihm)

Hearing Him is the core of the Doctrine of Christ.
Everything else — ordinances, covenants, callings — is meant to lead you to that living relationship.

⚠️ The Trap to Avoid

Too many Saints stop at baptism.
We teach “endure to the end” as if it means “stay on the membership rolls until you die.”

But the Book of Mormon teaches enduring to the end means staying in direct fellowship with Christ — walking in His light until you see Him.

✨ Peace in Any Storm

When you live the Doctrine of Christ, the Holy Ghost becomes your constant companion.
And when the Spirit is with you, no news headline, no political chaos, no Church policy shift can rob you of your peace.

🌺 The Invitation

Today’s step toward joy in a world of contention is this: Ask the Lord to teach you how to truly “receive” the Holy Ghost — and commit to obeying when He speaks.

Tomorrow, in Day 6, we’ll explore the Nemenhah Records’ witness about women and priesthood — and what that means for God’s people today.

Waking Up Zion --- The Book

INTRODUCTION Not a Faith Crisis — A Truth Awakening This isn’t a book about walking away. It’s a book about walking deeper. Deeper into Jesus. Deeper into His voice, His light, and His truth. For years, I loved my faith. I still do. The Church gave me structure. It gave me good people. It taught me to honor prophets and scriptures. To seek the Holy Ghost. To follow Christ. But somewhere along the way, I started asking quiet questions— Not to tear down, but to understand more. Where is the power of the Book of Mormon? Where is the fire of the early Saints? Where is the Jesus who speaks face to face? This book isn’t here to fight the Church. It’s here to reach the hearts of those in it — Especially those who feel something is missing, but don’t yet have words for it. I believe God is still working. But I also believe He is calling many of His children out of comfort and into courage. Out of tradition and into truth. Out of a system and into a personal walk with His Son. If you love the C...

🕊️ About This Blog: The True Remnant The True Remnant isn’t a ministry. It’s not a movement. And no, we’re not taking donations or passing the hat. 😄 It’s just… a witness. A quiet one. Born from fire. Forged in prayer. Offered in love—for anyone starting to  remember. Remember what? That Zion was never supposed to be a brand. That the temple was never supposed to need a swipe card. That Jesus never came to build a corporation—He came to gather the broken, walk with the humble, and call home the lost. If that tugs at something deep in you… You’re in the right place.  🧡 A Note to My Fellow Latter-day Saints If you’re a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (yes, the whole official name 😉) and you’re feeling a little nervous reading this—breathe. This blog isn’t here to tear down your faith. It’s here to deepen it. I haven’t left Jesus Christ. I haven’t left the Restoration. And I haven’t left the Church—at least, not yet. I know some of what I write may f...
