As Jesus Christ taught His gospel, He shared truths in relatable ways. The Savior knew people’s hearts, and He communicated in a manner that helped them feel loved by Him and by our Heavenly Father. We want to communicate more like the Savior and help people feel God’s love. The Foundational Messages, Universal Values, and Communication Attributes help us do this.
