When we asked on our LDS Living Instagram account, “How is your life different because you believe in Jesus Christ?” we had no idea what kind of response we would get. But we were nearly overwhelmed by the flood of your touching and thought-provoking answers, and it has given us some food for thought and strengthened our own testimonies of the influence that Jesus Christ can have on our lives. And we love you all for that gift. ❤️
