"I say unto you, if ye have come to a knowledge of the goodness of God, and his matchless power, and his wisdom, and his patience, and his long-suffering towards the children of men; and also, the atonement which has been prepared from the foundation of the world, that thereby salvation might come to him that should put his trust in the Lord, and should be diligent in keeping his commandments, and continue in the faith even unto the end of his life, I mean the life of the mortal body—
I say, that this is the man who receiveth salvation, through the atonement which was prepared from the foundation of the world for all mankind, which ever were since the fall of Adam, or who are, or who ever shall be, even unto the end of the world."
Mosiah 4:6-7
I like how it lists some of the qualities of God here: goodness, power, wisdom, patience, long-suffering. All good thing to strive to emulate. And one thing that I thought was interesting is that knowledge of these qualities of God is part of the salvation package, along with trust, diligence in keeping the commandments, and faith / endurance.
There are two big ways that we can gain knowledge about God: prayer and scripture study. Other resources are good too, like conference talks are also essentially scripture for our day from modern prophets, and reading additional study materials is a good idea too, but prayer and scripture study are the core of all of it.
Today, let's work on coming to a knowledge of the goodness of God, and so much more about him. :)
