Identify the doctrine and encourage understanding (seeing an object lesson and singing a song):
Write “Faith in Jesus Christ leads us to love Him, trust Him, and keep His commandments” on the board.
Show the children some seeds. Ask:

• “What can these seeds become?”
• “How do you know these seeds will grow?”
• “What must we do to make them grow?”

Explain that our faith in Jesus Christ, like a seed, can grow if we nurture it. Discuss things we can do to help our faith grow, and explain how these things will lead us to love and trust Jesus Christ and keep His commandments.

Sing “Faith” ( CS, 96–97). Make up simple hand movements to go with the fi rst verse.
