Light that Never Can be Darkened

“I have truly seen the Light of Christ and the Gospel change people's lives. I know it is the most powerful experience anyone can have, not only learning and using the Atonement of Jesus Christ and His Gospel to change our lives for the better, but to see that change in others. It almost makes it more real to see it happen either gradually or quickly in someone else because you can physically see a change in their appearance, their decisions, and then spiritually see that they are relying on Jesus Christ, yearning to become like Him. And in this change, there becomes a power of faith, hope, peace, and joy that surrounds them! Mosiah 16:9 says, "He is the light and the life of the world; yea, a light that is endless, that can never be darkened; yea, and also a life which is endless, that there can be no more death." When we accept Jesus Christ as our Savior and receive Him, we are filled with light that can never be darkened, lives that can never end, joy that is never saddened, and continue on this path of feeling His love. I know Jesus Christ lives, that He truly is the "light and life of the world" and He loves all of us, and suffered and died for us. He lives! And I bear my testimony in the name of Jesus Christ, amen.”
