Jesus Christ, the Lamb of God, was born to redeem us from sin and offer salvation. His life and sacrifice fulfilled God’s plan of redemption for all who follow Him.
Scripture
“Now I say unto you that ye must repent, and be born again; for the Spirit saith if ye are not born again ye cannot inherit the kingdom of heaven; therefore come and be baptized unto repentance, that ye may be washed from your sins, that ye may have faith on the Lamb of God, who taketh away the sins of the world, who is mighty to save and to cleanse from all unrighteousness.”—Alma 7:14
Quote
“We learn much from our Savior’s references to Himself as the Good Shepherd and from prophetic testimonies of Him as the Lamb of God. These roles and symbols are powerfully complementary—who better to succor each precious lamb than the Good Shepherd, and who better to be our Good Shepherd than the Lamb of God?”—Gerrit W. Gong

Living the Principle: Jesus Christ Is the Lamb of God
- Follow His Example of Humility and Service: Just as Christ lived a life of humble service to others, we can seek opportunities to help those around us. Service allows us to become more like Him and strengthen our connection with Him, especially during Christmas.
- Repent and Seek Forgiveness Through His Atonement: Understanding that Christ’s sacrifice covers our sins encourages us to sincerely repent and seek His forgiveness. By doing so, we can experience His peace and healing power, leaving the past behind and moving forward with faith.
- Share His Love and Teachings: Christ’s love is the central message of His life and mission. As His followers, we can share that love by reaching out to others with kindness, teaching His gospel, and living according to His example of love and compassion.
