Mormonism and traditional, biblical Christianity represent two dramatically different stories, with two very different roles for God the Father and Jesus Christ, and two opposite roles for human beings. These two stories present a choice. We can choose a new story – one that is not only true, but that unlocks God’s best for our lives.
Why Choose God’s Story?
Think about the results of fully living in God’s great story:
- Your motives can be true, right, and good.
- You can become who you truly want to be.
- You can die to your ego and find yourself remade in the image of Christ.
- You will be part of the work Jesus id doing to the glory of God the Father.
This is the story we want to live in and to tell the nations!
The Promise of a New You
The resurrection of our bodies happens when Jesus returns. The body we live in now, in this mortal life, is like living in a tent (2 Corinthians 5:1-5). But we know that we have an eternal building from God that will be our ultimate abode. Thus we will become more real in the resurrection than now. Our bodies will have amazing capacities, no longer limited by our current fallen nature or the fallen world we live in.
These are two very different narrative worlds. We have a choice about which one we want to live in. A really good, true story is transformational. Those who have come from one story can learn to live in the new, better, truer story. As you transition out of the LDS story, learning God’s story will help you find your way, and share your journey with others.
