LESSON LIFESAVER Lessons and Activities
Truth will make you free.
Your Heavenly Father is a God of truth. He is all-knowing. All truth comes from Him and leads to Him. You show that you value truth as you seek learning, live with integrity, and bravely stand for what you know is right—even if you have to stand alone.
Eternal Truths
Heavenly Father wants His daughters and sons to always be learning. You have both temporal and spiritual reasons to seek and love learning. Education is not just about earning money. It is part of your eternal goal to become more like Heavenly Father.
Living with integrity means you love what is right in the sight of God—more than you love personal comfort, popularity, or convenience. It means doing what is right simply because it is right.
You have something precious to share. The gospel of Jesus Christ holds the answers to life’s questions. It is the way to peace and happiness. You may not know everything, but you know enough to love your neighbor, share true principles with them, and invite them to learn more.
Invitations
Always be learning. Look for opportunities to expand your mind and your skills. These opportunities can include formal education at school or vocational training, as well as informal learning from sources you trust. Involve the Lord in your efforts, and He will guide you.
Learn spiritual truths. As you learn about the world around you, learn also about the Savior, who created the world. Study His life and teachings. Make seminary, institute, and personal gospel study part of your lifelong learning. It can prepare you to serve a mission and share the gospel throughout your life.
Live with integrity. Do not steal, lie, cheat, or deceive in any way—at school, at work, online, everywhere. Be the same faithful follower of Jesus Christ in public and in private.
Promised Blessings
Education increases your ability to serve the Lord, including as a missionary. It empowers you to bless others, especially your family. The more you learn, the more you can help build God’s kingdom and influence the world for good.
Honesty brings peace and self-respect. When your words and actions align with truth, you show that you can be trusted by other people and by the Lord.
When you stand up for the teachings of Jesus Christ, He stands with you. Jesus Christ is your strength! Others may not agree with your beliefs, but your courage and sincerity will be noticed. Whether or not others follow your example, your testimony, confidence, and faith in Christ will grow.

“Your patriarchal blessing will see you through the darkest night. It will guide you through life’s dangers.” —Thomas S. Monson
