Gospel learning, or religious education, could be defined as the process through which, with the influence of the Holy Ghost, a person acquires gospel knowledge, chooses how to respond to that knowledge, and uses that knowledge in his or her own life. If a person makes right choices about how to respond to and use gospel knowledge, he or she will be blessed and edified.
Edification takes place when a person grows spiritually and becomes more like Christ. This is what is meant by religious education or gospel learning. In this section two areas of focus will be examined.
- The Role of the Holy Ghost in Gospel Learning.
- The Role of the Student in Gospel Learning.
