We are made alive in Christ

We labor diligently to write,
to persuade our children,
and also our brethren,
to believe in Christ,
and to be reconciled to God;
for we know thatit is by grace
that we are saved,
after all we can do.

And we look forward
with steadfastness unto Christ,
for we are made alive in Christ
because of our faith.

And we talk of Christ,
we rejoice in Christ,
we preach of Christ,
we prophesy of Christ,
and we write
according to our prophecies,
that our children may know
to what source they may look
for a remission of their sins,
and that our children may
look forward unto that life
which is in Christ.

Only through Jesus Christ

Yea, behold
I say unto you,
that as these things
are true, and
as the Lord God liveth,
there is none other name
given under heaven
save it be this Jesus Christ,
of which I have spoken,
whereby man can be saved.

Jesus is the Messiah

Wherefore,
he shall bring forth
his words unto them,
which words
shall judge them
at the last day,
for they shall be given them
for the purpose of
convincing them
of the true Messiah,
who was rejected by them;
and unto the convincing of them
that there is save one Messiah
spoken of by the prophets,
and that Messiah is he
who should be rejected.

For according to
the words of the prophets,
the Messiah cometh,
and according to
the words of the prophets,
and also the word of
the angel of God,
his name shall be
Jesus Christ,
the Son of God.

Jesus is the Christ

When the day cometh
that the Only Begotten
of the Father,
yea, even the Father
of heaven and of earth,
shall manifest himself
unto them in the flesh,
behold, they will reject him,
because of their iniquities,
and the hardness
of their hearts,
and the stiffness
of their necks.

Behold, they will crucify him;
and after he is laid
in a sepulchre
for the space of three days
he shall rise from the dead,
with healing in his wings;
and all those who
shall believe on his name
shall be saved
in the kingdom of God.

Wherefore, my soul delighteth
to prophesy concerning him,
for I have seen his day,
and my heart doth magnify
his holy name.

And behold
it shall come to pass
that after the Messiah
hath risen from the dead,
and hath manifested himself
unto his people,
unto as many as will
believe on his name,
behold, wo unto them
that fight against God
and the people of his church.

My soul delights in Christ

And now I write more
of the words of Isaiah,
for my soul delighteth
in his words.

For I will send them forth
unto all my children, for
he verily saw my Redeemer,
even as I have seen him.

And my brother also has
seen him as I have seen him;
wherefore, I will send
their words forth
unto my children
to prove unto them
that my words are true.

Wherefore,
by the words of three,
God hath said,
I will establish my word.

Nevertheless,
God sendeth more witnesses,
and he proveth all his words.

Behold, my soul delighteth
in proving unto my people
the truth of the coming of Christ;
for all things which have been
given of God from the beginning
of the world, unto man,
are the typifying of him.

Yea, my soul delighteth
in his grace, and in his justice,
and power, and mercy
in the great and eternal plan
of deliverance from death.

And my soul delighteth
in proving unto my people
that save Christ should come
all men must perish.

For if there be no Christ
there be no God;
and if there be no God
we are not,
for there could have been
no creation.

But there is a God,
and he is Christ,
and he cometh
in the fulness of
his own time.

Grace through Christ's atonement

Reconcile yourselves
to the will of God,
and remember,
after ye are
reconciled unto God,
that it is only in and
through the grace of God
that ye are saved.

Wherefore,
may God raise you from death
by the power of the resurrection,
and also from everlasting death
by the power of the atonement,
that ye may be received
into the eternal kingdom of God,
that ye may praise him
through grace divine.

Restored through Christ

It must needs be expedient
that Christ should come
among the Jews,
and they shall crucify him,
for thus it behooveth our God.

But behold,thus saith the Lord God:
When the day cometh that
they shall believe in me,
that I am Christ,
then have I covenanted
with their fathers
that they shall be restored
in the flesh, upon the earth,
unto the lands of their inheritance.

Christ is our only rock

O, give ear to my words.

Remember the greatness of
the Holy One of Israel.

O then, come unto
the Lord, the Holy One.

Remember that
his paths are righteous.

Behold, the way for man
is narrow, but it lieth in
a straight course before him,
and the keeper of the gate is
the Holy One of Israel;
and he employeth
no servant there;
and there is none other way
save it be by the gate;
for he cannot be deceived,
for the Lord God is his name.

And whoso knocketh,
to him will he open.

O, come unto that God
who is the rock of your salvation.

Christ delivers us

O the greatness of
the mercy of our God,
the Holy One of Israel!

For he delivereth his saints from
that awful monster the devil,
and death, and hell, and that
lake of fire and brimstone,
which is endless torment.

And he cometh into the world
that he may save all men
if they will hearken
unto his voice;
for behold, he suffereth
the pains of all men,
yea, the pains of
every living creature,
both men, women,
and children, who belong
to the family of Adam.

And he suffereth this
that the resurrection
might pass upon all men,
that all might stand before him
at the great and judgment day.

And he commandeth all men
that they must repent,
and be baptized in his name,
having perfect faith
in the Holy One of Israel,
or they cannot be saved
in the kingdom of God.

And if they will not repent
and believe in his name,
and be baptized in his name,
and endure to the end,
they must be damned;
for the Lord God,
the Holy One of Israel,
has spoken it.

Christ's infinite atonement

Yea, I know that ye know
that in the body
he shall show himself,
for it behooveth
the great Creator
that he suffereth himself
to become subject
unto man in the flesh,
and die for all men,
that all men might
become subject unto him.

For as death hath
passed upon all men,
to fulfil the merciful plan
of the great Creator,
there must needs be
a power of resurrection.

Wherefore, it must needs be
an infinite atonement.

And because of the way
of deliverance of our God,
the Holy One of Israel,
this death which is the temporal,
shall deliver up its dead;
which death is the grave.

And this death
of which I have spoken,
which is the spiritual death,
shall deliver up its dead;
which spiritual death is hell.

Wherefore, death and hell
must deliver up their dead,
and hell must deliver up
its captive spirits,
and the grave must deliver up
its captive bodies,
and the bodies
and the spirits of men
will be restored
one to the other;
and it is by the power
of the resurrection of
the Holy One of Israel.

All shall know the Savior

And all flesh shall know
that I the Lord am
thy Savior
and thy Redeemer,
the Mighty One of Jacob.

Believe in Christ

And behold, according to
the words of the prophet,
the Messiah will
set himself again
the second time
to recover them;
wherefore,
he will manifest himself
unto them in power
and great glory,
unto the destruction
of their enemies,
when that day cometh
when they shall
believe in him;
and none will he destroy
that believe in him.

And they that
believe not in him
shall be destroyed.

And they shall know
that the Lord is God,
the Holy One of Israel.

Our merciful Lord

The Lord will be merciful unto them,
that when they shall come
to the knowledge of their Redeemer,
they shall be gathered together again.

Freedom through Christ

And the Messiah cometh
in the fulness of time,
that he may redeem
the children of men
from the fall.

And because that they are
redeemed from the fall
they have become free forever.

And they are free to choose
liberty and eternal life,
through the great
Mediator of all men,
or to choose captivity and death,
according to the captivity
and power of the devil.

And now I would that
ye should look
to the great Mediator,
and hearken unto
his great commandments;
and be faithful unto his words,
and choose eternal life,
according to the will of
his Holy Spirit

Redemption is only in Christ

I know that thou art redeemed,
because of the righteousness
of thy Redeemer;
for thou hast beheld that
in the fulness of time he cometh
to bring salvation unto men.

And thou hast beheld
in thy youth his glory;
wherefore, thou art blessed
even as they unto whom
he shall minister in the flesh;
for the Spirit is the same,
yesterday, today, and forever.

And the way is prepared
from the fall of man,
and salvation is free.

Wherefore, redemption cometh
in and through the Holy Messiah;
for he is full of grace and truth.

Behold, he offereth himself
a sacrifice for sin, to answer
the ends of the law, unto all those
who have a broken heart
and a contrite spirit.

Wherefore, how great the importance
to make these things known
unto the inhabitants of the earth,
that they may know that
there is no flesh that can
dwell in the presence of God,
save it be through
the merits, and mercy, and grace
of the Holy Messiah,
who layeth down his life
according to the flesh,
and taketh it again
by the power of the Spirit,
that he may bring to pass
the resurrection of the dead,
being the first that should rise.

Wherefore, he is the firstfruits unto God,
inasmuch as he shall make intercession
for all the children of men; and
they that believe in him shall be saved.

And because of the intercession for all,
all men come unto God;
wherefore, they stand
in the presence of him,
to be judged of him according to
the truth and holiness which is in him.

Reject not the true Redeemer

Behold, I say,
if the day shall come
that they will reject
the Holy One of Israel,
the true Messiah,
their Redeemer
and their God,
behold,
the judgments of
him that is just
shall rest upon them.

Christ is the Holy One

They shall be brought out of obscurity
and out of darkness;
and they shall know that the Lord
is their Savior and their Redeemer,
the Mighty One of Israel.

And the Lord will surely
prepare a way for his people,
unto the fulfilling of the words of Moses,
which he spake, saying:
A prophet shall the Lord your God
raise up unto you, like unto me;
him shall ye hear in all things
whatsoever he shall say unto you.

And it shall come to pass that
all those who will not hear that prophet
shall be cut off from among the people.

And now I declare unto you, that
this prophet of whom Moses spake
was the Holy One of Israel;
wherefore, he shall execute
judgment in righteousness.

And the time cometh speedily that
the righteous must be led up
as calves of the stall,
and the Holy One of Israel
must reign in dominion, and might,
and power, and great glory.

And he gathereth his children
from the four quarters of the earth;
and he numbereth his sheep,
and they know him; and there shall be
one fold and one shepherd;
and he shall feed his sheep,
and in him they shall find pasture
for they dwell in righteousness,
and the Holy One of Israel reigneth.

Christ's love

And behold he cometh,
according to
the words of the angel.

And the world,
because of their iniquity,
shall judge him to be
a thing of naught.

Wherefore they scourge him,
and he suffereth it;
and they smite him,
and he suffereth it;
yea, they spit upon him,
and he suffereth it,
because of his loving kindness
and his long-suffering
towards the children of men.

And the God of our fathers
yieldeth himself,
according to
the words of the angel,
as a man, into the hands
of wicked men, to be lifted up,
and to be crucified,
and to be buried in a sepulchre.

Yea, and all the earth shall see
the salvation of the Lord,
and every nation, kindred,
tongue and people
shall be blessed.

The church of the Lamb of God

And it came to pass
that I beheld
the power of the Lamb of God,
that it descended upon
the saints of
the church of the Lamb,
and upon
the covenant people of the Lord,
who were scattered upon
all the face of the earth;
and they were armed
with righteousness and with
the power of God in great glory.

Hearken to the Lamb of God

And it shall come to pass,
that if the Gentiles shall
hearken
unto the Lamb of God
in that day that
he shall manifest himself
unto them in word,
and also in power,
in very deed,
unto the taking away of
their stumbling blocks—
and harden not their hearts
against the Lamb of God,
they shall be a blessed people.

They shall be
no more brought down
into captivity.

The Savior of the world

Make known
to all kindreds,
tongues, and people,
that the Lamb of God
is the Son of
the Eternal Father,
and the Savior of the world;
and that all men
must come unto him,
or they cannot be saved.

And the time cometh
that he shall manifest himself
unto all nations.

Because of faith in the Lamb

And I saw the heavens open,
and the Lamb of God
descending out of heaven;
and he came down
and showed himself unto them.

And, behold,
they are righteous forever;
for because of their faith
in the Lamb of God
their garments are made white
in his blood.

The Son of God

And I looked, and
I beheld the Son of God
going forth among
the children of men;
and I saw many
fall down at his feet
and worship him.

And the angel
said unto me again:
Look and behold
the condescension of God!

And I looked and beheld
the Redeemer of the world,
of whom my father had spoken;
and I also beheld the prophet
who should prepare
the way before him.

And the Lamb of God went forth
and was baptized of him;
and after he was baptized,
I beheld the heavens open,
and the Holy Ghost come down
out of heaven and abide upon him
in the form of a dove.

And I beheld that he went forth
ministering unto the people,
in power and great glory;
and the multitudes were
gathered togetherto hear him;
and I beheld that they
cast him out from among them.

And I beheld the Lamb of God
going forth among
the children of men.

And I beheld multitudes of
people who were sick,
and who were afflicted with
all manner of diseases, and
with devils and unclean spirits;
and the angel spake and
showed all these things unto me.

And they were healed
by the power of
the Lamb of God;
and the devils and
the unclean spirits
were cast out.

And I looked and beheld
the Lamb of God,
that he was taken by the people;
yea, the Son of the everlasting God
was judged of the world;
and I saw and bear record.

And I saw that he was lifted up
upon the cross and slain
for the sins of the world.

Behold the Lamb of God

And I beheld
the city of Nazareth; and
in the city of Nazareth
I beheld a virgin, and
she was exceedingly
fair and white.

And it came to pass that
I saw the heavens open;
and an angel came down
and stood before me;
and he said unto me
what beholdest thou?

And I said unto him:
A virgin, most beautiful
and fair above all
other virgins.

And he said unto me:
Knowest thou
the condescension of God?

And I said unto him:
I know that he
loveth his children;
nevertheless,
I do not know
the meaning of all things.

And he said unto me:
Behold, the virgin
whom thou seest
is the mother of
the Son of God,
after the manner
of the flesh.

And it came to pass
that I beheld that she was
carried away in the Spirit;
and after she had been
carried away in the Spirit
for the space of a time
the angel spake unto me,
saying: Look!

And I looked and
beheld the virgin again,
bearing a child in her arms.

And the angel said unto me:
Behold the Lamb of God,
yea, even the Son
of the Eternal Father!
