Our Heavenly Father

God is the Supreme and Absolute Being in whom we believe and whom we worship. He is “the Great Parent of the universe,” and He “looks upon the whole of the human family with a fatherly care and paternal regard” (Teachings of Presidents of the Church: Joseph Smith [2007], 39).

The Nature of God

All good things come from God. Everything that He does is to help His children become like Him. He has said, “Behold, this is my work and my glory—to bring to pass the immortality and eternal life of man” (Moses 1:39).

Coming to Know God

We can know God if we will:

• 1. Believe that He exists and that He loves us (see Mosiah 4:9).

• 2. Study the scriptures (see 2 Timothy 3:14–17).

• 3. Pray to Him (see James 1:5).

• 4. Obey all His commandments as best we can (see John 14:21–23).
