Its all about love for our fellow man. Simply, the gospel of Jesus Christ can bring joy, thru the atonement, we can receive the sweetest joy that no other worldly thing can bring. It gives our lives purpose, meaning and direction and who wouldn’t want to share this once we found it? This church has the authority given from God, not man, and we can receive the blessings of exhaltation if we are true and faithful. No man or woman need be lost. We, as Heavenly Father, wants ALL to return to Him, and wants ALL to partake of his salvation.

if you saw a fantastic movie wouldnt you want to share that movie with everyone? well that is how it is with our religion. when we find out for ourselves that the church IS true then we want to tell it to everyone we meet.

Simple. If you loved and trusted something without any doubt… You would want to share it to! This is a gospel of hope! It is truth. I love sharing the message with members and non-members. I know it is true and I want others to know of it as well.

(Translated from spanish) We share our religion with everybody because we know that the church is true, that it is led by prophets and apostles that the Lord has chosen. And we share it becuase we have a testimony that it is the only tru gospel on the face of the earth. As we live it, we receive great blessings and we have a desire to share those blessings with others as well.

(Original Response)nosotros compartimos nuestra religion con todas las personas por que sabemos que el la iglesia verdadera, que es dirijida por profetas y apostoles escogidos por el señor….y lo compartimops por que tenemos un testimonio de que es el unico evangelio verdadero sobre toda la tierra y como lo vivimos recibimos muchas bendiciones que deseamos que otras personas las reciban…

IT IS THE TRUTH THAT WE KNOW. Therefore, We as members of the church want our friends, neighbors, classmates, office mates, and all the persons to know also what is the truth among all things.

It is a happy and joyes message and we just want to share our joy with the world and have them know the same things we do.
Personally I want to eleminate all miss information about us and miss conceptions and stuff. I want people to know who we are and what we believe in.
I know with every breath adn heartbeat that this is the only true adn living church on the earth. We have the same organisation as the one Jesus set up in the olden times, with apostles and a prophet.
The Book of Mormon is the word of God just as the Bible and it truely is another testament of Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ is our Lord and savior! I know He died for me and everybody else on this earth. I know that he will come again.
this is the main reason we share the gospel.

When you enjoy a movie or a restaurant, don’t you tell everyone? If you found out that you were a beloved child of a loving Heavenly Father who has a remarkable plan for you, made possible through his son, Jesus Christ, if you found a way to love your life and everything and everyone in it, wouldn’t you tell everyone? I’m a convert to the church and being taught about the church, the Gospel, my Heavenly Father’s love, the plan of salvation changed my life. I do not feel I need to speak for others, but I can certainly speak for myself. Having others share the gospel with me is the number one best thing that ever happened in my life! Thank you to all of you returned missionaries, current missionaries, and missionary members! If someone is trying to share the gospel with you, listen! You’ll be glad that you did!

On a more secular level, Mormons get so many questions about what we believe that we may as well answer them. Or… be more proactive a let people know.

On a spiritual level, we are truly being missionaries, like any other missionary of any other faith. Out of love, we want people to know what we know, give people an opportunity to think and ponder something we know to be true.

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is the only true and living Church upon the face of the whole earth. It is only trhough it that people can recieve the saving and exalting ordinances of the gospel. This is why we share the gospel with everyone.
In addition to this the Church and its teachings provide a great joy in the lives of members. We wish our friends and relatives to also recieve this joy. This is why we seek to share the gospel with them.

Well, good question. We share the gospel because of it’s happy and joyous message it brings to us. Sometimes we are too scared because of what others may say or do, but I’ve learned from the missionaries that if we bring it up while in checkout at the store what is the person going to do they can’t walk away there doing a job. Don’t be afraid to share, after all it’s you who has the truth and light, and they need just as much as we do.
