The Holy Ghost works in perfect unity with Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ, fulfilling several roles to help us live righteously and receive the blessings of the gospel. He “witnesses of the Father and the Son” 1 and reveals and teaches “the truth of all things.” 2 We can receive a sure testimony of Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ only by the power of the Holy Ghost.
