Principles and Doctrines: Faith leads to conversion.

This seems like a pretty simple principle to think that all we have to do is have faith, then we will be converted to the gospel of Jesus Christ, and its true. But establishing faith is not so simple, it takes working on gaining knowledge from Scriptures. That is why the scriptures are so important to investigators, because the teach faith in Jesus Christ, which is required for conversion.

Supporting Scriptures:

2 Nephi 31:19-20-We are promised the greatest and best gift that ever could be possible: if we are faithfull, we will have eternal life.

Alma 32:7-8-Faith provides a way for us to be blessed by Jesus Christ.

Inspirational Writings:

Missionaries must not only understand how to increase their own faith, but they must learn to help strengthen the faith of those they teach. The first seeds of conversion begin with an awareness of the gospel fo Jesus Christ adn a desire to know the truth concerning His restoration. Faith is an essential ingredient in conversion, being converted means to turn from one belief or course of action to another. Conversion is a spiritual and moral change, we will accpet Jesus Christ to the fullest if we are trully converted.
