What do I know about the Savior, how have I learned it, and what am I doing with what I know?

I know that the Savior lives and that He died for me so that I too, will be able to live again. And that though Him, all sin can be forgiven! I have been taught these principles since I was just a small boy. I have tried to live my life so that I can be an example of the love the Savior has for me and to be willing to stand as a witness of Him in all places and at all times.
