Alma 36:16 - We need to accept his mercy, we need to be willing to go and repent and come again unto Him.
We have a constant need for the atonement - we need to put all our trust & faith in the atonement.
If we study our scriptures daily, we will "plant" the word into our hearts. We need this daily reminder that we cannot do this without the Lord.
To make God the Center of our Faith, we need to know:
1)He actually exists (not believe but KNOW)
2) A correct idea of his character, perfections, and attributes (He is a man - we are made in His image)
3) An actual knowledge that the course of life which we are pursuing is according to His will.
