scriptures Teach of Heavenly Father

Throughout the ages, prophets have revealed truths about the nature of God. As we diligently study their testimonies in scriptures, we can learn about Heavenly Father’s attributes and increase our faith and testimonies. The better we understand the nature of our Heavenly Father, the better we understand our own divine potential as His spirit children.
