All People Shall Know of Christ

And as I spake concerning
the convincing of the Jews,
that Jesus is the very Christ,
it must needs be that the Gentiles
be convinced also that
Jesus is the Christ,
the Eternal God;
And that he manifesteth himself
unto all those who believe in him,
by the power of the Holy Ghost;
yea, unto every nation, kindred,
tongue, and people,
working mighty miracles,
signs, and wonders,
among the children of men
according to their faith.

Our Peace in Christ

Behold, the righteous
that hearken unto
the words of the prophets,
and destroy them not, but
look forward unto Christ
with steadfastness
for the signs which are given,
notwithstanding all persecution—
behold, they are they
which shall not perish.

But the Son of righteousness
shall appear unto them;
and he shall heal them,
and they shall have peace with him.

Signs of Christ

And after the Messiah shall come
there shall be signs given
unto my people of his birth,
and also of his death and resurrection.

The Law of Christ

And after Christ shall have
risen from the dead
he shall show himself unto you;
and the words which
he shall speak unto you
shall be the law which ye shall do.

Believe in Christ and Worship Him

And now behold,
I say unto you that
the right way is to
believe in Christ,
and deny him not;
and Christ is
the Holy One of Israel;
wherefore ye must
bow down before him,
and worship him
with all your might,
mind, and strength,
and your whole soul;
and if ye do this
ye shall in nowise be cast out.

Deny Not Jesus Christ

The words which I have spoken
shall stand as a testimony against you;
for they are sufficient to
teach any man the right way;
for the right way is to
believe in Christ and deny him not;
for by denying him
ye also deny the prophets and the law.

We Rejoice in Christ

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
that our children may
look forward unto
that life which is in Christ, and
not harden their hearts against him.

Alive in Christ

And, notwithstanding we believe in Christ,
we keep the law of Moses,
and look forward
with steadfastness unto Christ,
until the law shall be fulfilled.

For, for this end was the law given;
wherefore the law hath become dead unto us,
and we are made alive in Christ
because of our faith.

The Grace of God in Christ Jesus

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 that
it is by grace that we are saved,
after all we can do.

None Other Name But Christ

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 Christ is the True Messiah

The Lord will set his hand again
the second time to restore his people
from their lost and fallen state.

Wherefore, he will proceed to do
a marvelous work and a wonder
among the children of men.

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
they need not look forward any more
for a Messiah to come,
for there should not any come,
save it should be a false Messiah
which should deceive the people;
for there is save one Messiah
spoken of by the prophets,
and that Messiah is he
who should be rejected of the Jews.

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.

They Shall Believe in Christ

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,
they shall be persuaded to
believe in Christ, the Son of God, and
the atonement, which is infinite for all mankind;
and they shall believe in Christ,
and worship the Father in his name,
with pure hearts and clean hands,
and look not forward any more
for another Messiah, then, at that time,
the day will come that
it must needs be expedient that
they should believe these things.

The Only Begotten of the Father

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.

There is a Christ

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.

All Things Testify of Christ

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

Believe in Jesus

The day cometh
that they shall believe in me,
that I am Christ.

We Need the Christ

It must needs be expedient
that Christ should come.

True Knowledge of Christ

God will be merciful unto many
that they may come to
that which will give them
the true knowledge of their Redeemer.

Come Delight in Christ

Remember the words
which I have spoken;
and come unto
the Holy One of Israel,
and feast upon that
which perisheth not,
neither can be corrupted,
and let your soul delight in fatness.

Only in and through Christ

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.

Christ is Our Deliverer

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.

Wherefore, he has given a law;
and where there is no law given
there is no punishment;
and where there is no punishment
there is no condemnation;
and where there is no condemnation
the mercies of the Holy One of Israel
have claim upon them,
because of the atonement;
for they are delivered by the power of him.

Our Joy is in Christ

Behold, the righteous, the saints
of the Holy One of Israel,
they who have believed
in the Holy One of Israel,
they who have endured
the crosses of the world,
and despised the shame of it,
they shall inherit the kingdom of God,
which was prepared for them
from the foundation of the world,
and their joy shall be full forever.

The Power of Christ's Resurrection

And because of the way of deliverance
of our God, the Holy One of Israel,
this death, of which I have spoken,
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.

The Infinite Atonement of Christ

I know that ye know that
in the body he shall show himself
unto those at Jerusalem;
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—
save it should be an infinite atonement
this corruption could not put on incorruption.

Jesus is Our Savior and Redeemer

The Messiah will manifest himself
unto them in power and great glory.

And thus saith the Lord:
all flesh shall know that
I the Lord am thy Savior
and thy Redeemer.

The Sacrifice of Christ

The Lord has shown unto me that
the Holy One of Israel
should manifest himself in the flesh;
and after he should manifest himself
they should scourge him and crucify him.

Choose to Follow Christ

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

Freedom in Christ

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.

Jesus is Our Redeemer and Savior

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;
and unto none else can
the ends of the law be answered.

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.

Because of 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.

Reject Not the Christ

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.

Dwell Safely in Christ

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.

Behold, all nations, kindreds, tongues, and people
shall dwell safely in the Holy One of Israel
if it so be that they will repent.

Christ is the Holy One

This prophet
of whom Moses spake
was the Holy One of Israel.

Jesus is Our Savior

He will bring them again
out of captivity, and
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.

Our Savior

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

Believe in Christ More Fully

But that I might more fully
persuade them to believe
in the Lord their Redeemer
I did read unto them
that which was written by
the prophet Isaiah.

The Savior's Loving Kindness

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, yea,
the God of Abraham, and of Isaac,
and the God of Jacob, 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,
according to the words of Zenos,
which he spake concerning
the three days of darkness,
which should be a sign given of his death
unto those who should
inhabit the isles of the sea.

Jesus is the Messiah

After the Messiah shall be manifested
in body unto the children of men,
then shall the fulness of
the gospel of the Messiah
come unto the Gentiles—
And then shall they know and
come to the knowledge of their forefathers,
and also to the knowledge of
the gospel of their Redeemer, which was
ministered unto their fathers by him;
wherefore, they shall come to
the knowledge of their Redeemer
and the very points of his doctrine,
that they may know how to
come unto him and be saved.

Power in Jesus Christ

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.

Receive the Lord

Wo be unto the Gentiles
if it so be that they
harden their hearts
against the Lamb of God.

Hearken to the Lamb of God

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;
and shall no more be confounded.

One Testimony of Jesus Christ

According to the words
which shall be established
by the mouth of the Lamb,
the words of the Lamb
shall be made known
in the records of thy seed,
as well as in the records of
the twelve apostles of the Lamb;
wherefore they both
shall be established in one;
for there is one God and one Shepherd
over all the earth.

And the time cometh that
he shall manifest himself unto all nations,
both unto the Jews and also unto the Gentiles;
and after he has manifested himself
unto the Jews and also unto the Gentiles,
then he shall manifest himself
unto the Gentiles and also unto the Jews,
and the last shall be first,
and the first shall be last.

These Things Testify of Christ

These last records shall
establish the truth of the first, which are
of the twelve apostles of the Lamb,
and shall make known
the plain and precious things
which have been taken away from them;
and shall 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.

Saved in Christ's Kingdom

If they endure unto the end
they shall be lifted up at the last day,
and shall be saved in
the everlasting kingdom of the Lamb.

The word of the Lord

Behold, saith the Lamb:
I will manifest myself unto thy seed,
that they shall write many things which
I shall minister unto them,
which shall be plain and precious;
and behold, these things shall come forth
by the gift and power of the Lamb.

And in them shall be written my gospel,
saith the Lamb, and
my rock and my salvation.

Because of our faith in Christ

I saw the heavens open,
and the Lamb of God
descending out of heaven;
and he came down
and showed himself unto them,
and their garments were white
even like unto the Lamb of God.

And the angel said unto me:
These are made white
in the blood of the Lamb,
because of their faith in him.

Cleansed through faith in Christ

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

The ministry of Jesus Christ

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

And I looked and beheld
the Redeemer of the world,
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 together to hear him;
and I beheld that
they cast him out from among them.

And I also beheld twelve others following him.

And he spake unto me again, saying: Look!
And I looked, 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 they were healed
by the power of the Lamb of God;
and the devils and the unclean spirits
were cast out.

And it came to pass that
the angel spake unto me again, saying: Look!

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.

And after he was slain
I saw the multitudes of the earth,
that they were gathered together
to fight against the apostles of the Lamb

The Son of God

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: 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!

And he said unto me: Look!
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.

Bear witness of Jesus Christ

Blessed art thou
because thou believest in
the Son of the most high God,
and him shall ye witness;
and after ye have witnessed him
ye shall bear record that
it is the Son of God.

The coming of Christ

Behold, the virgin whom thou seest
is the mother of the Son of God,
after the manner of the flesh.

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!

Faith on the Son of God

He spake by
the power of the Holy Ghost,
which power he received
by faith on the Son of God—
and the Son of God was
the Messiah who should come.

Our Lord and Redeemer

After the house of Israel
should be scattered
they should be gathered
together again; or, in fine
should be grafted in,
or come to the knowledge
of the true Messiah,
their Lord and their Redeemer.

The coming Messiah

He spake unto my brethren
concerning the gospel which
should be preached among the Jews.

And after they had
slain the Messiah, who should come,
and after he had been slain
he should rise from the dead,
and should make himself manifest,
by the Holy Ghost, unto the Gentiles.

Behold the Lamb of God

And he spake also concerning a prophet
who should come before the Messiah,
to prepare the way of the Lord—

Yea, even he should go forth
and cry in the wilderness:
Prepare ye the way of the Lord,
and make his paths straight;
for there standeth one among you
whom ye know not;
and he is mightier than I,
whose shoe’s latchet
I am not worthy to unloose.

And much spake my father
concerning this thing.

And my father said he should baptize
the Messiah with water.

And after he had
baptized the Messiah with water,
he should behold and bear record that
he had baptized the Lamb of God,
who should take away the sins of the world.

Savior of the world

Yea, a prophet would the Lord God
raise up among the Jews—
even a Messiah, or, in other words,
a Savior of the world.

And how great a number
had testified of these things,
concerning this Messiah,
or this Redeemer of the world.

Wherefore, all mankind were
in a lost and in a fallen state,
and ever would be
save they should rely
on this Redeemer.

They knew our Savior

And it came to pass that
he saw One descending
out of the midst of heaven,
and he beheld that
his luster was above that of
the sun at noon-day.

And he also saw
twelve others following him.

Come unto Jesus Christ

And again I would exhort you that ye would
come unto Christ, and lay hold upon every good gift.

Yea, come unto Christ,
and be perfected in him,
and deny yourselves of all ungodliness;
and if ye shall deny yourselves of all ungodliness,
and love God with all your might, mind and strength,
then is his grace sufficient for you,
that by his grace ye may be perfect in Christ;
and if by the grace of God ye are perfect in Christ,
ye can in nowise deny the power of God.

And again, if ye by the grace of God
are perfect in Christ, and deny not his power,
then are ye sanctified in Christ by the grace of God,
through the shedding of the blood of Christ,
which is in the covenant of the Father
unto the remission of your sins,
that ye become holy, without spot.

The words of Jesus Christ

I speak according
to the words of Christ;
and I lie not.

All things through Christ

Christ truly said unto our fathers:
If ye have faith
ye can do all things
which are expedient unto me.

The gifts of Christ

Remember that
every good gift
cometh of Christ.

Knowing Jesus Christ

Nothing that is good denieth the Christ,
but acknowledgeth that he is.

And ye may know that he is,
by the power of the Holy Ghost.

Having faith in Jesus Christ

When ye shall receive these things,
I would exhort you that ye would
ask God, the Eternal Father,
in the name of Christ,
if these things are not true;
and if ye shall ask
with a sincere heart, with real intent,
having faith in Christ,
he will manifest the truth of it unto you,
by the power of the Holy Ghost.

Our Lord Jesus Christ

May the grace of God the Father,
whose throne is high in the heavens,
and our Lord Jesus Christ,
who sitteth on the right hand of his power,
until all things shall become subject unto him,
be, and abide with you forever.

Hope and glory in Jesus Christ

Be faithful in Christ;
and may Christ lift thee up,
and may his sufferings and death,
and the showing his body unto our fathers,
and his mercy and long-suffering,
and the hope of his glory and of eternal life,
rest in your mind forever.

Trust in Jesus Christ

I recommend thee unto God,
and I trust in Christ
that thou wilt be saved.

Deny not the mercies of Christ

And he that saith that little children need baptism
denieth the mercies of Christ,
and setteth at naught the atonement of him
and the power of his redemption.

Behold that all little children are alive in Christ,
and also all they that are without the law.

For the power of redemption cometh
on all them that have no law;
wherefore, he that is not condemned,
or he that is under no condemnation,
cannot repent; and unto such
baptism availeth nothing—
But it is mockery before God,
denying the mercies of Christ.

Alive in Christ

Little children are
alive in Christ.

Listen to Jesus Christ

Listen to the words of Christ,
your Redeemer,
your Lord and your God.

Praying in Jesus' name

I am mindful of you always in my prayers,
continually praying unto God the Father
in the name of his Holy Child, Jesus, that he,
through his infinite goodness and grace,
will keep you through the endurance of
faith on his name to the end.

Called of Jesus Christ

I rejoice exceedingly that
your Lord Jesus Christ
hath been mindful of you,
and hath called you to his ministry,
and to his holy work.

True followers of Jesus Christ

Pray unto the Father
with all the energy of heart,
that ye may be filled with this love,
which he hath bestowed upon
all who are true followers
of his Son, Jesus Christ;
that ye may become the sons of God;
that when he shall appear
we shall be like him,
for we shall see him as he is;
that we may have this hope;
that we may be purified
even as he is pure.

The pure love of Christ

If a man be meek and lowly in heart,
and confesses by the power of the Holy Ghost
that Jesus is the Christ,
he must needs have charity;
for if he have not charity he is nothing.

But charity is the pure love of Christ,
and it endureth forever.

Our hope in Jesus Christ

Ye shall have hope
through the atonement of Christ
and the power of his resurrection,
to be raised unto life eternal,
and this because of your faith in him
according to the promise.

Followers of Christ

I judge that ye have faith in Christ
because of your meekness;
for if ye have not faith in him
then ye are not fit
to be numbered among
the people of his church.

Saved in Christ's name

No man can be saved,
according to the words of Christ,
save they shall have faith in his name.

Have faith in Jesus Christ

Christ hath said:
If ye will have faith in me
ye shall have power
to do whatsoever thing
is expedient in me.

And he hath said:
Repent all ye ends of the earth,
and come unto me, and
be baptized in my name, and
have faith in me,
that ye may be saved.

Bearing testimony of Christ

By declaring the word of Christ
unto the chosen vessels of the Lord,
that they may bear testimony of him,
the Lord God prepareth the way
that men may have faith in Christ,
that the Holy Ghost may
have place in their hearts,
according to the power thereof.

Jesus Christ: A God of miracles

As surely as Christ liveth
he spake these words
unto our fathers, saying:
Whatsoever thing
ye shall ask the Father
in my name, which is good,
in faith believing that ye shall receive,
behold, it shall be done unto you.

Wherefore, have miracles ceased
because Christ hath ascended into heaven,
and hath sat down on the right hand of God,
to claim of the Father his rights of mercy
which he hath upon the children of men?

For he hath answered the ends of the law,
and he claimeth all those who have faith in him;
and they who have faith in him
will cleave unto every good thing;
wherefore he advocateth
the cause of the children of men;
and he dwelleth eternally in the heavens.

Becoming a child of Christ

Ye should search diligently
in the light of Christ
that ye may know good from evil;
and if ye will lay hold
upon every good thing,
and condemn it not,
ye certainly will be
a child of Christ.

In the light of Christ

The Spirit of Christ is given to every man,
that he may know good from evil;
wherefore, I show unto you the way to judge;
for every thing which inviteth to do good,
and to persuade to believe in Christ,
is sent forth by the power and gift of Christ;
wherefore ye may know
with a perfect knowledge it is of God.

But whatsoever thing
persuadeth men to do evil,
and believe not in Christ,
and deny him, and serve not God,
then ye may know with a perfect knowledge
it is of the devil.

And now, seeing that ye know
the light by which ye may judge,
which light is the light of Christ,
see that ye do not judge wrongfully;
for with that same judgment
which ye judge ye shall also be judged.

Saved through faith in Christ

God knowing all things,
being from everlasting to everlasting,
behold, he sent angels
to minister unto the children of men,
to make manifest concerning
the coming of Christ;
and in Christ there should
come every good thing.

And God also
declared unto prophets,
by his own mouth,
that Christ should come.

And behold,
there were divers ways that
he did manifest things
unto the children of men,
which were good;
and all things which are good
cometh of Christ;
otherwise men were fallen,
and there could no good thing
come unto them.

Wherefore,
by the ministering of angels,
and by every word which
proceeded forth
out of the mouth of God,
men began to exercise faith in Christ;
and thus by faith, they did
lay hold upon every good thing;
and thus it was until the coming of Christ.

And after that he came
men also were saved
by faith in his name

Believe in Jesus Christ

A man being a servant of the devil
cannot follow Christ;
and if he follow Christ
he cannot be a servant of the devil.

Wherefore the Spirit of Christ
is given to every man, that
he may know good from evil;
wherefore,
I show unto you the way to judge;
for every thing which inviteth to do good,
and to persuade to believe in Christ,
is sent forth by the power and gift of Christ;
wherefore ye may know
with a perfect knowledge
it is of God.

But whatsoever thing
persuadeth men to do evil,
and believe not in Christ,
and deny him, and serve not God,
then ye may know
with a perfect knowledge
it is of the devil.

And now, seeing that
ye know the light
by which ye may judge,
which light is the light of Christ,
see that ye do not judge wrongfully;
for with that same judgment
which ye judge ye shall also be judged.

Wherefore, I beseech of you
that ye should search diligently
in the light of Christ
that ye may know good from evil;
and if ye will lay hold upon every good thing,
and condemn it not,
ye certainly will be a child of Christ.

Peaceable followers of Christ

I would speak unto you
that are of the church,
that are the peaceable followers of Christ,
and that have obtained
a sufficient hope by which ye can
enter into the rest of the Lord,
from this time henceforth
until ye shall rest with him in heaven.

And now my brethren,
I judge these things of you
because of your peaceable walk
with the children of men.

Through grace in Christ

It is by the grace
of God the Father,
and our Lord Jesus Christ,
and his holy will, because of
the gift of his calling unto me,
that I am permitted
to speak unto you at this time.

The people of Christ

If they repented not,
and confessed not,
they were not numbered
among the people of Christ.

But as oft as they repented
and sought forgiveness,
with real intent,
they were forgiven.

Always remember our Lord Jesus

They did meet together oft
to partake of bread and wine,
in remembrance of the Lord Jesus.

Jesus Christ is our Master

And after they had been received unto baptism,
and were wrought upon and cleansed
by the power of the Holy Ghost,
they were numbered among
the people of the church of Christ;
and their names were taken,
that they might be remembered
and nourished by the good word of God,
to keep them in the right way,
to keep them continually watchful unto prayer,
relying alone upon the merits of Christ,
who was the author and the finisher of their faith.

Baptized in the name of Jesus Christ

None were received unto baptism
save they took upon them
the name of Christ,
having a determination to
serve him to the end.

We do always remember Jesus

Behold, they took the cup, and said:

O God, the Eternal Father, we ask thee,
in the name of thy Son, Jesus Christ,
to bless and sanctify this wine
to the souls of all those who drink of it,
that they may do it
in remembrance of the blood of thy Son,
which was shed for them;
that they may witness unto thee,
O God, the Eternal Father,
that they do always remember him,
that they may have his Spirit to be with them.

Amen.

Always remember our Savior Jesus Christ

The manner of their elders and priests
administering the flesh and
blood of Christ unto the church;
and they administered it according to
the commandments of Christ;
wherefore we know the manner to be true;
and the elder or priest did minister it—

And they did kneel down
with the church, and pray
to the Father in the name of Christ,
saying:

O God, the Eternal Father, we ask thee
in the name of thy Son, Jesus Christ,
to bless and sanctify this bread
to the souls of all those who partake of it;
that they may eat
in remembrance of the body of thy Son,
and witness unto thee,
O God, the Eternal Father,
that they are willing to take upon them
the name of thy Son,
and always remember him,
and keep his commandments
which he hath given them,
that they may always
have his Spirit to be with them.

Amen.

Ordained of Jesus Christ

The manner which the disciples,
who were called the elders of the church,
ordained priests and teachers—

After they had prayed unto the Father
in the name of Christ,
they laid their hands upon them, and said:

In the name of Jesus Christ I ordain you
to be a priest, or a teacher,
to preach repentance and
remission of sins through Jesus Christ,
by the endurance of faith on his name to the end.

Amen.

Authority through Jesus Christ

The words of Christ,
which he spake unto his disciples,
the twelve whom he had chosen,
as he laid his hands upon them—

And he called them by name, saying:
Ye shall call on the Father
in my name, in mighty prayer;
and after ye have done this
ye shall have power that
to him upon whom ye shall lay your hands,
ye shall give the Holy Ghost;
and in my name shall ye give it,
for thus do mine apostles.

Now Christ spake these words unto them
at the time of his first appearing;
and the multitude heard it not,
but the disciples heard it;
and on as many as
they laid their hands,
fell the Holy Ghost.

Deny not Christ

Because of their hatred
they put to death every Nephite
that will not deny the Christ.

And I will not deny the Christ.

They saw Jesus Christ

Behold,
Ether saw
the days of Christ

Seek Jesus

And now, I would commend you to
seek this Jesus of whom
the prophets and apostles have written,
that the grace of God the Father,
and also the Lord Jesus Christ,
and the Holy Ghost, which
beareth record of them,
may be and abide in you forever.

Jesus Christ is our judge

We shall meet before
the judgment-seat of Christ,
where all men shall know
that my garments are
not spotted with your blood.

These things evidence Christ

It is by faith that
my fathers have obtained the promise
that these things should come unto
their brethren through the Gentiles;
therefore the Lord hath commanded me,
yea, even Jesus Christ.

Miracles through Christ

All they who wrought miracles
wrought them by faith,
even those who were before Christ
and also those who were after.

And neither at any time
hath any wrought miracles
until after their faith;
wherefore they first believed
in the Son of God.

Christ is manifest through faith

It was by faith that
Christ showed himself unto our fathers,
after he had risen from the dead;
and he showed not himself unto them
until after they had faith in him;
wherefore, it must needs be that
some had faith in him,
for he showed himself not unto the world.

But because of the faith of men
he has shown himself unto the world,
and glorified the name of the Father,
and prepared a way that thereby
others might be partakers of the heavenly gift,
that they might hope for those things
which they have not seen.

They knew Jesus Christ

And Emer did execute judgment
in righteousness all his days,
and he saw peace in the land; yea,
and he even saw the Son of Righteousness,
and did rejoice and glory in his day;
and he died in peace.

Have faith in Jesus Christ

And in that day that
they shall exercise faith in me,
saith the Lord,
that they may become sanctified in me,
then will I manifest unto them
even to the unfolding unto them
all my revelations,
saith Jesus Christ, the Son of God,
the Father of the heavens and of the earth,
and all things that in them are.

And he that will contend
against the word of the Lord,
let him be accursed; and
he that shall deny these things,
let him be accursed;
for unto them will I show
no greater things,
saith Jesus Christ;
for I am he who speaketh.

He saw Jesus Christ

It sufficeth me to say that
Jesus showed himself
unto this man in the spirit,
even after the manner and
in the likeness of the same body
even as he showed himself
unto the Nephites.

And he ministered unto him even as
he ministered unto the Nephites;
and all this, that
this man might know that he was God,
because of the many great works
which the Lord had showed unto him.

And because of the knowledge of this man
he could not be kept
from beholding within the veil;
and he had faith no longer,
for he knew, nothing doubting.

Wherefore, having
this perfect knowledge of God,
he could not be kept from within the veil;
therefore he saw Jesus;
and he did minister unto him.

Sons and daughters of Christ

Behold, I am Jesus Christ.

I am the Father and the Son.

In me shall all mankind have life,
and that eternally, even
they who shall believe on my name;
and they shall become
my sons and my daughters.

Seest thou that ye are
created after mine own image?

Yea, even all men
were created in the beginning
after mine own image.

Freedom through Jesus Christ

Behold, this is a choice land,
and whatsoever nation shall possess it
shall be free from bondage,
and from captivity,
and from all other nations under heaven,
if they will but serve the God of the land,
who is Jesus Christ,
who hath been manifested
by the things which we have written.

Through faith in Jesus Christ

And behold, these things
which we have desired
concerning our brethren,
yea, even their restoration
to the knowledge of Christ,
are according to the prayers
of all the saints.

And may the Lord Jesus Christ
grant that their prayers
may be answered
according to their faith;
and may God the Father
remember the covenant
which he hath made
with the house of Israel;
and may he bless them forever,
through faith on the name of Jesus Christ.

Worthy in Christ

See that ye partake not
of the sacrament of Christ
unworthily;
but see that ye do all things
in worthiness, and
do it in the name of Jesus Christ,
the Son of the living God;
and if ye do this,
and endure to the end,
ye will in nowise be cast out.

Come unto Jesus

Despise not, and wonder not, but
hearken unto the words of the Lord,
and ask the Father
in the name of Jesus
for what things soever
ye shall stand in need.

Doubt not, but be believing,
and begin as in times of old,
and come unto the Lord
with all your heart,
and work out your own salvation
with fear and trembling before him.

Disciples of Jesus Christ

Behold, thus said
Jesus Christ, the Son of God,
unto his disciples:
Go ye into all the world,
and preach the gospel
to every creature;

And he that believeth and
is baptized shall be saved,
but he that believeth not
shall be damned;

And these signs
shall follow them that believe—
in my name shall they cast out devils;
they shall speak with new tongues;
they shall take up serpents;
and if they drink any deadly thing
it shall not hurt them;
they shall lay hands on the sick
and they shall recover;

And whosoever
shall believe in my name,
doubting nothing,
unto him will I
confirm all my words,
even unto the ends of the earth.

Jesus Christ is a God of miracles

Who shall say that Jesus Christ
did not do many mighty miracles?

And there were many mighty miracles
wrought by the hands of the apostles.

And if there were miracles wrought then,
why has God ceased to be a God of miracles
and yet be an unchangeable Being?

Behold, I say unto you he changeth not;
if so he would cease to be God;
and he ceaseth not to be God,
and is a God of miracles.

And the reason why he ceaseth
to do miracles among the children of men
is because that they dwindle in unbelief,
and depart from the right way,
and know not the God
in whom they should trust.

Behold, I say unto you that
whoso believeth in Christ, doubting nothing,
whatsoever he shall ask the Father
in the name of Christ
it shall be granted him;
and this promise is unto all,
even unto the ends of the earth.

Redeemed by Jesus Christ

And because of the fall of man
came Jesus Christ,
even the Father and the Son;
and because of Jesus Christ
came the redemption of man.

And because of the redemption of man,
which came by Jesus Christ,
they are brought back
into the presence of the Lord; yea,
this is wherein all men are redeemed,
because the death of Christ
bringeth to pass the resurrection,
which bringeth to pass a
redemption from an endless sleep,
from which sleep
all men shall be awakened
by the power of God
when the trump shall sound;
and they shall come forth,
both small and great,
and all shall stand before his bar,
being redeemed and loosed
from this eternal band of death,
which death is a temporal death.

And then cometh the judgment
of the Holy One upon them;
and then cometh the time that
he that is filthy shall be filthy still;
and he that is righteous shall be righteous still;
he that is happy shall be happy still;
and he that is unhappy shall be unhappy still.

Deny not the Gospel of Jesus Christ

And again I speak unto
you who deny the revelations of God,
and say that they are done away,
that there are no revelations,
nor prophecies, nor gifts, nor healing,
nor speaking with tongues,
and the interpretation of tongues;

Behold I say unto you,
he that denieth these things
knoweth not the gospel of Christ;
yea, he has not read the scriptures;
if so, he does not understand them.

For do we not read that
God is the same yesterday, today, and forever,
and in him there is no variableness
neither shadow of changing?

Jesus Christ is holy

Behold, when ye shall be brought
to see your nakedness before God,
and also the glory of God,
and the holiness of Jesus Christ,
it will kindle a flame of
unquenchable fire upon you.

O then ye unbelieving,
turn ye unto the Lord;
cry mightily unto the Father
in the name of Jesus,
that perhaps ye may be found
spotless, pure, fair, and white,
having been cleansed
by the blood of the Lamb,
at that great and last day.

No longer deny the Christ

And now, I speak also concerning
those who do not believe in Christ.

Behold, will ye believe
in the day of your visitation—
behold, when the Lord shall come,
yea, even that great day
when the earth shall be
rolled together as a scroll,
and the elements shall
melt with fervent heat,
yea, in that great day when
ye shall be brought to stand
before the Lamb of God—
then will ye say that there is no God?

Then will ye longer deny the Christ,
or can ye behold the Lamb of God?

The name of Christ

Why are ye ashamed
to take upon you
the name of Christ?

Revelation through Christ

Behold, Jesus Christ
hath shown you unto me,
and I know your doing.

Knowing Jesus

There are none
that do know the true God
save it be the disciples of Jesus.

Follow the Savior

If it so be that ye believe in Christ,
and are baptized, first with water,
then with fire and with the Holy Ghost,
following the example of our Savior,
according to that which he hath commanded us,
it shall be well with you in the day of judgment.

The Book of Mormon testifies of Jesus Christ

Repent, and be baptized
in the name of Jesus,
and lay hold upon
the gospel of Christ,
which shall be set before you,
not only in this record
but also in the record
which shall come
unto the Gentiles from the Jews.

For behold,
this is written for the intent
that ye may believe that;
and if ye believe that
ye will believe this also.

Jesus Christ is the Son of God

Believe in Jesus Christ,
that he is the Son of God,
and that he was slain by the Jews,
and by the power of the Father
he hath risen again, whereby
he hath gained the victory
over the grave; and also
in him is the sting of death swallowed up.

And he bringeth to pass
the resurrection of the dead,
whereby man must be raised
to stand before his judgment-seat.

And he hath brought to pass
the redemption of the world,
whereby he that is found
guiltless before him
at the judgment day
hath it given unto him
to dwell in the presence of God
in his kingdom,
to sing ceaseless praises
with the choirs above,
unto the Father, and
unto the Son, and
unto the Holy Ghost.

We will be judged by Christ.

Ye must stand before
the judgment-seat of Christ

Jesus Christ is our Shepherd

They were once
a delightsome people,
and they had Christ
for their shepherd.

Jesus is the Christ

Be persuaded that
Jesus is the Christ,
the Son of the living God;
that the Father may bring about,
through his most Beloved,
his great and eternal purpose.

Jesus Christ is our judge

And these things
doth the Spirit manifest unto me;
therefore I write unto you all.

And for this cause I write unto you,
that ye may know that ye must all
stand before the judgment-seat of Christ,
yea, every soul who belongs to
the whole human family of Adam;
and ye must stand to be judged of your works,
whether they be good or evil;

And also that ye may believe
the gospel of Jesus Christ,
which ye shall have among you;
and also that the covenant people of the Lord,
shall have other witness
besides him whom they saw and heard,
that Jesus, whom they slew,
was the very Christ and the very God.

And I would that I could persuade
all ye ends of the earth
to repent and prepare to
stand before the judgment-seat of Christ.

Reject not Christ

And it came to pass that
they who rejected the gospel
did not dwindle in unbelief,
but they did wilfully rebel
against the gospel of Christ.

True believers in Christ

The true believers in Christ,
and the true worshipers of Christ,
were called Nephites.

According to the word of Christ

And again, there was another church
which denied the Christ;
and they did persecute the true church of Christ,
because of their humility and their belief in Christ;
and they did despise them because of
the many miracles which were wrought among them.

Therefore they did exercise power and authority
over the disciples of Jesus who did tarry with them;
but by the power of the word of God, which was in them,
they went forth doing mighty miracles among them.

Nevertheless, and notwithstanding all these miracles,
the people did harden their hearts,
and did seek to kill them,
even as the Jews at Jerusalem sought to kill Jesus,
according to his word.

Professing Christ

There were many churches
which professed to know the Christ,
and yet they did deny
the more parts of his gospel

Real Abundance in Christ

They had become
exceedingly rich,
because of their
prosperity in Christ.

Unity in Jesus Christ

They were in one,
the children of Christ,
and heirs to the kingdom of God.

And how blessed were they!

For the Lord did bless them
in all their doings.

Mighty miracles

There were mighty miracles
wrought among the disciples of Jesus.

Miracles in the name of Jesus Christ

There were great and marvelous works
wrought by the disciples of Jesus,
insomuch that they did heal the sick,
and raise the dead,
and cause the lame to walk,
and the blind to receive their sight,
and the deaf to hear;
and all manner of miracles did they work
among the children of men;
and in nothing did they work miracles
save it were in the name of Jesus.

Converted unto Christ

Behold the disciples of Jesus
had formed a church of Christ
in all the lands round about.

And as many as did come unto them,
and did truly repent of their sins,
were baptized in the name of Jesus;
and they did also receive the Holy Ghost.

And it came to pass in the thirty and sixth year,
the people were all converted unto the Lord,
upon all the face of the land

Hear the words of Jesus Chirst and Come unto Him

Hearken and hear
the words of Jesus Christ,
the Son of the living God,
which he hath commanded me
that I should speak concerning you,
for, behold he commandeth me
that I should write, saying:

Turn from your wicked ways;
and repent of your evil doings,
of your lyings and deceivings,
and of your whoredoms,
and of your secret abominations,
and your idolatries,
and of your murders,
and your priestcrafts,
and your envyings,
and your strifes,
and from all your wickedness and abominations,
and come unto me,
and be baptized in my name,
that ye may receive
a remission of your sins,
and be filled with the Holy Ghost,
that ye may be numbered with my people
who are of the house of Israel.

Jesus Christ works among us today

Wo unto him that
spurneth at the doings of the Lord;
yea, wo unto him that
shall deny the Christ and his works!

Yea, wo unto him that
shall deny the revelations of the Lord,
and that shall say
the Lord no longer worketh by revelation,
or by prophecy, or by gifts,
or by tongues, or by healings,
or by the power of the Holy Ghost!

Yea, and wo unto him that
shall say at that day, to get gain,
that there can be no miracle
wrought by Jesus Christ;
for he that doeth this
shall become like unto the son of perdition,
for whom there was no mercy,
according to the word of Christ!

Receive all the words of Jesus Christ

And if ye had all the scriptures
which give an account of
all the marvelous works of Christ,
ye would, according to the words of Christ,
know that wo be unto him
that will not hearken
unto the words of Jesus,
and also to them whom he hath
chosen and sent among them;
for whoso receiveth not the words of Jesus
and the words of those whom he hath sent
receiveth not him; and therefore
he will not receive them at the last day;

And it would be better for them
if they had not been born.

Christ is our Judge

All people
must surely stand before
the judgment-seat of Christ.

Converted unto Christ

And it came to pass that thus
they did go forth among all the people,
and did preach the gospel of Christ
unto all people upon the face of the land;
and they were converted unto the Lord,
and were united unto the church of Christ,
and thus the people of that generation
were blessed, according to the word of Jesus.

Jesus Christ has said...

Behold
I have given unto you my gospel,
and this is the gospel
which I have given unto you—
that I came into the world
to do the will of my Father,
because my Father sent me.

And my Father sent me that
I might be lifted up upon the cross;
and after that I had been
lifted up upon the cross,
that I might draw all men unto me,
that as I have been lifted up by men
even so should men be lifted up
by the Father, to stand before me,
to be judged of their works,
whether they be good
or whether they be evil—

And for this cause
have I been lifted up;
therefore,
according to the power of the Father
I will draw all men unto me,
that they may be judged
according to their works.

And it shall come to pass,
that whoso repenteth
and is baptized in my name shall be filled;
and if he endureth to the end, behold,
him will I hold guiltless before my Father
at that day when I shall stand to judge the world.

And no unclean thing can enter into his kingdom;
therefore nothing entereth into his rest
save it be those who have
washed their garments in my blood,
because of their faith,
and the repentance of all their sins,
and their faithfulness unto the end.

Now this is the commandment:
Repent, all ye ends of the earth,
and come unto me and be baptized in my name,
that ye may be sanctified
by the reception of the Holy Ghost,
that ye may stand spotless before me at the last day.

Verily, verily, I say unto you, this is my gospel;
and ye know the things that ye must do in my church;
for the works which ye have seen me do
that shall ye also do;
for that which ye have seen me do
even that shall ye do.

In the name of Jesus Christ

And it came to pass that
as the disciples of Jesus were journeying
and were preaching the things
which they had both heard and seen,
and were baptizing in the name of Jesus,
it came to pass that
the disciples were gathered together
and were united in mighty prayer and fasting.

And Jesus again showed himself unto them,
for they were praying unto the Father in his name;
and Jesus came and stood in the midst of them,
and said unto them:
What will ye that I shall give unto you?

And they said unto him:
Lord, we will that thou wouldst tell us
the name whereby we shall call this church;
for there are disputations among the people
concerning this matter.

And the Lord said unto them:
Verily, verily, I say unto you,
why is it that the people should murmur
and dispute because of this thing?

Have they not read the scriptures,
which say ye must
take upon you the name of Christ,
which is my name?

For by this name
shall ye be called at the last day;

And whoso taketh upon him my name,
and endureth to the end,
the same shall be saved at the last day.

Therefore, whatsoever ye shall do,
ye shall do it in my name;
therefore ye shall call the church in my name;
and ye shall call upon the Father in my name
that he will bless the church for my sake.

And how be it my church
save it be called in my name?

For if a church be called in Moses’ name
then it be Moses’ church;
or if it be called in the name of a man
then it be the church of a man;
but if it be called in my name
then it is my church, if it so be
that they are built upon my gospel.

Verily I say unto you,
that ye are built upon my gospel;
therefore ye shall call
whatsoever things ye do call, in my name;
therefore
if ye call upon the Father, for the church,
if it be in my name the Father will hear you;

And if it so be that
the church is built upon my gospel
then will the Father
show forth his own works in it.

But if it be not built upon my gospel,
and is built upon the works of men,
or upon the works of the devil,
verily I say unto you they have
joy in their works for a season,
and by and by the end cometh,
and they are hewn down and cast into the fire,
from whence there is no return.

For their works do follow them,
for it is because of their works
that they are hewn down;
therefore remember
the things that I have told you.

The church of Christ

The disciples whom Jesus had chosen
began from that time forth to baptize
and to teach as many as did come unto them;
and as many as were baptized in the name of Jesus
were filled with the Holy Ghost.

And it came to pass that
they did do all things
even as Jesus had commanded them.

And they who were baptized in the name of Jesus
were called the church of Christ.

Jesus Christ ministered unto them

I would that ye should behold that
the Lord truly did teach the people,
for the space of three days;
and after that he did show himself unto them oft,
and did break bread oft, and bless it,
and give it unto them.

And it came to pass that
he did teach and minister unto the children
of the multitude of whom hath been spoken,
and he did loose their tongues,
and they did speak unto their fathers
great and marvelous things,
even greater than he had revealed unto the people;
and he loosed their tongues that they could utter.

And it came to pass that he healed
all their sick, and their lame,
and opened the eyes of their blind
and unstopped the ears of the deaf,
and even had done all manner of cures among them,
and raised a man from the dead,
and had shown forth his power unto them,
and ascended unto the Father.

All the words of Jesus Christ

And now there cannot be written in this book
even a hundredth part of the things which
Jesus did truly teach unto the people;

And these things have I written,
which are a lesser part of the things
which he taught the people;
and I have written them to the intent that
they may be brought again unto this people,
according to the words which Jesus hath spoken.

And when they shall have received this,
which is expedient that they should have first,
to try their faith,
and if it shall so be that
they shall believe these things
then shall the greater things
be made manifest unto them.

And if it so be
that they will not believe these things,
then shall the greater things
be withheld from them,
unto their condemnation.

All things are in Christ

And now it came to pass that
when Jesus had told these things
he expounded them unto the multitude;
and he did expound all things unto them,
both great and small.

And he did expound all things,
even from the beginning until
the time that he should come in his glory—
yea, even all things which should
come even unto the great and last day,
when all people, and all kindreds,
and all nations and tongues
shall stand before God,
to be judged of their works,
whether they be good or whether they be evil—

If they be good, to the resurrection of everlasting life;
and if they be evil, to the resurrection of damnation;
being on a parallel, the one on the one hand
and the other on the other hand,
according to the mercy, and the justice,
and the holiness which is in Christ,
who was before the world began.

Jesus taught them

It came to pass that
when Jesus had expounded
all the scriptures in one,
which they had written,
he commanded them that
they should teach the things
which he had expounded unto them.

Son of the Father

It shall come to pass,
saith the Father,
that at that day
whosoever will not repent and
come unto my Beloved Son,
them will I cut off
from among my people.

Believe the words of Christ

It shall come to pass that
whosoever will not
believe in my words,
who am Jesus Christ,
shall be cut off
from among my people
who are of the covenant.

Listen to Jesus Christ

Behold, I am he
of whom Moses spake, saying:
A prophet shall the Lord your God
raise up unto you of your brethren,
like unto me; him shall ye hear in all things
whatsoever he shall say unto you.

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

Verily I say unto you, yea,
and all the prophets from Samuel
and those that follow after,
as many as have spoken, have testified of me.

The Father having raised me up,
sent me to bless you
in turning away every one of you
from his iniquities.

I am Jesus Christ, the Son of God.

Give glory to Jesus

And it came to pass that
when they had all
given glory unto Jesus,
he said unto them:
Behold now I finish
the commandment which
the Father hath commanded me
concerning this people,
who are a remnant
of the house of Israel.

Give all glory to Jesus

They were filled with the Spirit;
and they did cry out with one voice,
and gave glory to Jesus,
whom they both saw and heard.

Jesus prayed great things

And it came to pass that
he went again a little way off
and prayed unto the Father;
And tongue cannot speak
the words which he prayed,
neither can be written by man
the words which he prayed.

And the multitude did hear
and do bear record;
and their hearts were open
and they did understand in their hearts
the words which he prayed.

Nevertheless,
so great and marvelous were the words
which he prayed that they cannot be written,
neither can they be uttered by man.

And it came to pass that
when Jesus had made an end of praying
he came again to the disciples,
and said unto them:
So great faith have I never seen
among all the Jews;
wherefore I could not show
unto them so great miracles,
because of their unbelief.

Verily I say unto you,
there are none of them
that have seen so great things
as ye have seen;
neither have they heard
so great things as ye have heard.

Purified through Jesus Christ

And Jesus said unto them: Pray on;
nevertheless they did not cease to pray.

And he turned from them again,
and went a little way off
and bowed himself to the earth;
and he prayed again unto the Father, saying:

Father, I thank thee
that thou hast purified
those whom I have chosen,
because of their faith,
and I pray for them, and also for
them who shall believe on their words,
that they may be purified in me,
through faith on their words,
even as they are purified in me.

Father, I pray not for the world, but for those
whom thou hast given me out of the world,
because of their faith,
that they may be purified in me,
that I may be in them as thou, Father, art in me,
that we may be one,
that I may be glorified in them.

And when Jesus had spoken these words
he came again unto his disciples;
and behold they did pray steadfastly,
without ceasing, unto him;
and he did smile upon them again;
and behold they were white, even as Jesus.

Jesus smiled upon them

And it came to pass that
when Jesus had
thus prayed unto the Father,
he came unto his disciples,
and behold,
they did still continue,
without ceasing,
to pray unto him; and
they did not multiply many words,
for it was given unto them
what they should pray,
and they were filled with desire.

And it came to pass that
Jesus blessed them as
they did pray unto him;
and his countenance did smile upon them,
and the light of his countenance
did shine upon them, and
behold they were as white as
the countenance and also the garments of Jesus;
and behold the whiteness thereof
did exceed all the whiteness,
yea, even there could be nothing upon earth
so white as the whiteness thereof.

Being one with Christ

And it came to pass that
Jesus departed out of the midst of them,
and went a little way off from them
and bowed himself to the earth, and he said:

Father, I thank thee that
thou hast given the Holy Ghost
unto these whom I have chosen;
and it is because of their belief in me
that I have chosen them out of the world.

Father, I pray thee
that thou wilt give the Holy Ghost
unto all them that shall believe in their words.

Father, thou hast given them the Holy Ghost
because they believe in me;
and thou seest that they believe in me
because thou hearest them,
and they pray unto me;
and they pray unto me because I am with them.

And now Father, I pray unto thee for them,
and also for all those who shall believe on their words,
that they may believe in me,
that I may be in them as thou, Father, art in me,
that we may be one.

Jesus is our Lord and God

Behold, Jesus came
and stood in the midst
and ministered unto them.

And it came to pass that
he spake unto the multitude,
and commanded them that
they should kneel down
again upon the earth,
and also that his disciples should
kneel down upon the earth.

And it came to pass that
when they had all knelt down
upon the earth,
he commanded his disciples
that they should pray.

And behold, they began to pray;
and they did pray unto Jesus,
calling him their Lord and their God.

We pray in the name of Jesus Christ

And the twelve did teach the multitude;
and behold, they did cause that
the multitude should kneel down
upon the face of the earth,
and should pray unto the Father
in the name of Jesus.

And the disciples did pray unto the Father
also in the name of Jesus.

And it came to pass that they arose
and ministered unto the people.

And when they had ministered
those same words which Jesus had spoken—
nothing varying from the words
which Jesus had spoken—
behold, they knelt again
and prayed to the Father
in the name of Jesus.

They saw Jesus

And now it came to pass that
when Jesus had ascended into heaven,
the multitude did disperse, and
every man did take his wife and his children
and did return to his own home.

And it was noised abroad
among the people immediately,
before it was yet dark,
that the multitude had seen Jesus,
and that he had ministered unto them,
and that he would also show himself
on the morrow unto the multitude.

Yea, and even all the night
it was noised abroad concerning Jesus;
and insomuch did they send forth
unto the people that there were many,
yea, an exceedingly great number,
did labor exceedingly all that night,
that they might be on the morrow
in the place where Jesus should
show himself unto the multitude.

Build upon the rock of Jesus Christ

And it came to pass that
when he said these words,
he commanded his Disciples
that they should take of
the wine of the cup and drink of it,
and that they should also
give unto the multitude
that they might drink of it.

And it came to pass that they did so,
and did drink of it and were filled;
and they gave unto the multitude,
and they did drink, and they were filled.

And when the Disciples had done this,
Jesus said unto them:
Blessed are ye for this thing which ye have done,
for this is fulfilling my commandments,
and this doth witness unto the Father
that ye are willing to do
that which I have commanded you.

And this shall ye always do
to those who repent and
are baptized in my name; and
ye shall do it in remembrance of my blood,
which I have shed for you,
that ye may witness unto the Father
that ye do always remember me.

And if ye do always remember me
ye shall have my Spirit to be with you.

And I give unto you a commandment
that ye shall do these things.

And if ye shall always do these things
blessed are ye, for ye are built upon my rock.

Always remember Jesus

And it came to pass that
Jesus commanded his Disciples
that they should bring forth
some bread and wine unto him.

And when the Disciples had
come with bread and wine,
he took of the bread and brake and blessed it;
and he gave unto the Disciples
and commanded that they should eat.

And when they had eaten and were filled,
he commanded that they
should give unto the multitude.

And when the multitude
had eaten and were filled,
he said unto the Disciples:

Behold
there shall one be ordained among you,
and to him will I give power that
he shall break bread and bless it and
give it unto the people of my church,
unto all those who shall believe
and be baptized in my name.

And this shall ye always observe to do,
even as I have done,
even as I have broken bread
and blessed it and given it unto you.

And this shall ye do
in remembrance of my body,
which I have shown unto you.

And it shall be a testimony unto the Father
that ye do always remember me.

And if ye do always remember me
ye shall have my Spirit to be with you.

Jesus blessed the little children

And it came to pass that
Jesus spake unto them,
and bade them arise.

And they arose from the earth,
and he said unto them:
Blessed are ye because of your faith.

And now behold, my joy is full.

And when he had said these words, he wept,
and the multitude bare record of it,
and he took their little children,
one by one,
and blessed them,
and prayed unto the Father for them.

And when he had done this he wept again;

And he spake unto the multitude,
and said unto them:
Behold your little ones.

And as they looked to behold
they cast their eyes towards heaven,
and they saw the heavens open,
and they saw angels descending out of heaven
as it were in the midst of fire;
and they came down and encircled those little ones about,
and they were encircled about with fire;
and the angels did minister unto them.

And the multitude did see and hear and bear record;
and they know that their record is true
for they all of them did see and hear,
every man for himself; and they were in number
about two thousand and five hundred souls;
and they did consist of men, women, and children.

Our joy in the love of Jesus

And it came to pass that
when they had knelt upon the ground,
Jesus groaned within himself, and said:
Father, I am troubled because of
the wickedness of the people of the house of Israel.

And when he had said these words,
he himself also knelt upon the earth;
and behold he prayed unto the Father,
and the things which he prayed cannot be written,
and the multitude did bear record who heard him.

And after this manner do they bear record:
The eye hath never seen,
neither hath the ear heard, before,
so great and marvelous things as
we saw and heard Jesus speak unto the Father;

And no tongue can speak,
neither can there be written by any man,
neither can the hearts of men conceive
so great and marvelous things as
we both saw and heard Jesus speak;
and no one can conceive of the joy
which filled our souls at the time
we heard him pray for us unto the Father.

And it came to pass that
when Jesus had made an end
of praying unto the Father, he arose;
but so great was the joy of the multitude
that they were overcome.

Jesus heals us, and we worship Him

And it came to pass that
when Jesus had thus spoken,
he cast his eyes round about
again on the multitude,
and beheld they were in tears,
and did look steadfastly upon him
as if they would ask him
to tarry a little longer with them.

And he said unto them:
Behold, my bowels are
filled with compassion towards you.

Have ye any that are sick among you?
Bring them hither.

Have ye any that are lame, or blind,
or halt, or maimed, or leprous,
or that are withered, or that are deaf,
or that are afflicted in any manner?

Bring them hither and I will heal them,
for I have compassion upon you;
my bowels are filled with mercy.

For I perceive that ye desire that
I should show unto you what I have done
unto your brethren at Jerusalem,
for I see that your faith is
sufficient that I should heal you.

And it came to pass that
when he had thus spoken,
all the multitude, with one accord,
did go forth with their sick and their afflicted,
and their lame, and with their blind,
and with their dumb, and with all them
that were afflicted in any manner;
and he did heal them every one
as they were brought forth unto him.

And they did all,
both they who had been healed
and they who were whole,
bow down at his feet, and did worship him;
and as many as could come for the multitude
did kiss his feet, insomuch that
they did bathe his feet with their tears.

Look unto Christ

And it came to pass that
when Jesus had said these words
he perceived that there were
some among them who marveled,
for they understood not the saying
that old things had passed away,
and that all things had become new.

And he said unto them:
Marvel not that I said unto you
that old things had passed away,
and that all things had become new.

Behold, I say unto you that
the law is fulfilled
that was given unto Moses.

Behold, I am he that gave the law,
and I am he who covenanted with my people Israel;
therefore, the law in me is fulfilled,
for I have come to fulfil the law;
therefore it hath an end.

Behold, I do not destroy the prophets,
for as many as have not been fulfilled in me,
verily I say unto you, shall all be fulfilled.

And because I said unto you that
old things have passed away,
I do not destroy that which hath been spoken
concerning things which are to come.

For behold, the covenant
which I have made with my people
is not all fulfilled;
but the law
which was given unto Moses
hath an end in me.

Behold, I am the law, and the light.

Look unto me,
and endure to the end,
and ye shall live; for
unto him that endureth to the end
will I give eternal life.

Behold,
I have given unto you the commandments;
therefore keep my commandments.

And this is the law and the prophets,
for they truly testified of me.

The words of Jesus Christ

And now it came to pass that
when Jesus had ended these sayings
he cast his eyes round about on the multitude,
and said unto them: Behold,
ye have heard the things which I taught
before I ascended to my Father;
therefore, whoso remembereth
these sayings of mine and doeth them,
him will I raise up at the last day.

Authority from Jesus Christ

Verily I say unto you,
that whoso repenteth of his sins
through your words,
and desireth to be baptized in my name,
on this wise shall ye baptize them—

Behold,
ye shall go down and stand in the water,
and in my name shall ye baptize them.

And now behold,
these are the words which ye shall say,
calling them by name, saying:

Having authority given me of Jesus Christ,
I baptize you in the name of the Father,
and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. Amen.

And then shall ye immerse them in the water,
and come forth again out of the water.

And after this manner
shall ye baptize in my name;
for behold, verily I say unto you,
that the Father, and the Son,
and the Holy Ghost are one;
and I am in the Father,
and the Father in me,
and the Father and I are one.

Behold, He is Jesus Christ

And behold, the third time
they did understand the voice which they heard;
and it said unto them:

Behold my Beloved Son,
in whom I am well pleased,
in whom I have glorified my name—
hear ye him.

And it came to pass, as they understood
they cast their eyes up again towards heaven;
and behold, they saw a Man
descending out of heaven;
and he was clothed in a white robe;
and he came down and stood in the midst of them;
and the eyes of the whole multitude
were turned upon him,
and they durst not open their mouths,
even one to another, and wist not what it meant,
for they thought it was an angel
that had appeared unto them.

And it came to pass
that he stretched forth his hand
and spake unto the people, saying:

Behold, I am Jesus Christ,
whom the prophets testified
shall come into the world.

And behold,
I am the light and the life of the world;
and I have drunk out of that bitter cup
which the Father hath given me,
and have glorified the Father
in taking upon me the sins of the world,
in the which I have suffered the will of the Father
in all things from the beginning.

And it came to pass
that when Jesus had spoken these words
the whole multitude fell to the earth;
for they remembered
that it had been prophesied among them
that Christ should show himself unto them
after his ascension into heaven.

And it came to pass
that the Lord spake unto them saying:

Arise and come forth unto me,
that ye may thrust your hands into my side,
and also that ye may feel the prints of the nails
in my hands and in my feet,
that ye may know that I am the God of Israel,
and the God of the whole earth,
and have been slain for the sins of the world.

And it came to pass
that the multitude went forth,
and thrust their hands into his side,
and did feel the prints of the nails
in his hands and in his feet;
and this they did do,
going forth one by one
until they had all gone forth,
and did see with their eyes
and did feel with their hands,
and did know of a surety
and did bear record, that it was he,
of whom it was written by the prophets,
that should come.

And when they had all gone forth
and had witnessed for themselves,
they did cry out with one accord, saying:

Hosanna!
Blessed be the name
of the Most High God!

And they did fall down
at the feet of Jesus,
and did worship him.

They knew Jesus Christ

They were conversing
about this Jesus Christ,
of whom the sign had been given
concerning his death.

The ministry of Jesus Christ

I will show unto you that
the people who had been spared,
did have great favors shown unto them,
and great blessings poured out upon their heads,
insomuch that soon after
the ascension of Christ into heaven
he did truly manifest himself unto them—
Showing his body unto them,
and ministering unto them;
and an account of his ministry
shall be given hereafter.

Behold Jesus Christ

Behold,
I am Jesus Christ
the Son of God.

I created the heavens and the earth,
and all things that in them are.

I was with the Father from the beginning.

I am in the Father, and the Father in me;
and in me hath the Father glorified his name.

I came unto my own,
and my own received me not.

And the scriptures concerning my coming are fulfilled.

And as many as have received me,
to them have I given to become the sons of God;
and even so will I to as many
as shall believe on my name,
for behold, by me redemption cometh,
and in me is the law of Moses fulfilled.

I am the light and the life of the world.

I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end.

And ye shall offer for a sacrifice unto me
a broken heart and a contrite spirit.

And whoso cometh unto me
with a broken heart and a contrite spirit,
him will I baptize with fire and with the Holy Ghost,

Behold, I have come unto the world
to bring redemption unto the world,
to save the world from sin.

Therefore, whoso repenteth
and cometh unto me as a little child,
him will I receive,
for of such is the kingdom of God.

Behold, for such I have laid down my life,
and have taken it up again;
therefore repent,
and come unto me ye ends of the earth,
and be saved.

Cleansed through Jesus

We know our record to be true,
for behold, it was a just man
who did keep the record—
for he truly did many miracles
in the name of Jesus;
and there was not any man
who could do a miracle
in the name of Jesus
save he were cleansed
every whit from his iniquity.

Converted through Christ

As many as were converted
did truly signify unto the people
that they had been visited by
the power and Spirit of God,
which was in Jesus Christ,
in whom they believed.

Miracles in the name of Jesus Christ

In the name of Jesus
did he cast out devils and unclean spirits;
and he did also do many more miracles,
in the sight of the people,
in the name of Jesus.

Such great faith in Christ

And it came to pass that Nephi—
having had power given unto him that
he might know concerning the ministry of Christ—
went forth among them in that same year,
and began to testify, boldly,
repentance and remission of sins
through faith on the Lord Jesus Christ.

And it were not possible
that they could disbelieve his words,
for so great was his faith
on the Lord Jesus Christ
that angels did minister unto him daily.

Testify boldly of Christ

And there began to be men
inspired from heaven and sent forth,
standing among the people in all the land,
preaching and testifying boldly of
the sins and iniquities of the people,
and testifying unto them concerning
the redemption which the Lord
would make for his people,
or in other words,
the resurrection of Christ;
and they did testify boldly
of his death and sufferings.

Our Redeemer is Jesus Christ

And then shall they know their Redeemer,
who is Jesus Christ, the Son of God;
yea, as the Lord liveth so shall it be.

My Savior Jesus Christ

I have reason to bless my God
and my Savior Jesus Christ,
that he hath given me and my people
so much knowledge
unto the salvation of our souls.

A disciple of Jesus Christ

Behold, I am a disciple
of Jesus Christ, the Son of God.

I have been called of him to
declare his word among his people,
that they might have everlasting life.

Signs of Christ's coming

They knew that it must be expedient
that Christ had come,
because of the many signs
which had been given,
according to the words of the prophets

In the year of our Lord

And nine years had passed away
from the time when the sign was given,
which was spoken of by the prophets,
that Christ should come into the world.

Now the Nephites began to reckon their time
from this period when the sign was given,
or from the coming of Christ;
therefore, nine years had passed away.

The coming of the Son of God

And they began to know
that the Son of God must shortly appear;
yea, in fine, all the people
upon the face of the whole earth
from the west to the east,
both in the land north and in the land south,
were so exceedingly astonished
that they fell to the earth.

For they knew that the prophets
had testified of these things for many years,
and that the sign which had been given
was already at hand.

The Father and the Son

Lift up your head and be of good cheer;
for behold, the time is at hand,
and on this night shall the sign be given,
and on the morrow come I into the world,
to show unto the world that I will fulfil
all that which I have caused to be spoken
by the mouth of my holy prophets.

Behold, I come unto my own,
to fulfil all things which I have made known
unto the children of men
from the foundation of the world,
and to do the will,
both of the Father and of the Son—
of the Father because of me,
and of the Son because of my flesh.

And behold, the time is at hand,
and this night shall the sign be given.

The coming of Christ

Behold, Nephi was baptizing,
and prophesying, and preaching,
crying repentance unto the people,
showing signs and wonders,
working miracles among the people,
that they might know that
the Christ must shortly come

Jesus Christ is our Shepherd

They shall again be brought
to the true knowledge,
which is the knowledge
of their Redeemer,
and their great and true shepherd.

Because of faith in Christ

Ye can see that
they fear to sin,
and this because of
their faith in Christ.

The resurrection of Jesus Christ

Behold, he surely must die
that salvation may come;
yea, it behooveth him
and becometh expedient that he dieth,
to bring to pass the resurrection of the dead,
that thereby men may be brought
into the presence of the Lord.

Yea, behold, this death
bringeth to pass the resurrection,
and redeemeth all mankind.

Behold, the resurrection of Christ
redeemeth mankind, yea, even all mankind,
and bringeth them back
into the presence of the Lord.

Believe on the name of Christ

Hear my words
that ye might know of
the coming of Jesus Christ,
the Son of God,
the Father of heaven and of earth,
the Creator of all things from the beginning;
and that ye might know of
the signs of his coming,
to the intent that ye might
believe on his name.

And if ye believe on his name
ye will repent of all your sins,
that thereby ye may have
a remission of them through his merits.

Believe on Jesus Christ

Whosoever shall
believe on the Son of God,
the same shall have everlasting life.

Jesus is our redeemer

Behold,
then cometh the Son of God
to redeem all those
who shall believe on his name.

Salvation is only through Christ

Nothing can save this people
save it be repentance and
faith on the Lord Jesus Christ,
who surely shall suffer many things
and shall be slain for his people.

He is Jesus Christ

O then why not the Son of God come?

Yea, they have testified of the coming of Christ,
and have looked forward, and have rejoiced
in his day which is to come.

And behold, he is God,
and he is with them,
and he did manifest himself unto them,
that they were redeemed by him;
and they gave unto him glory,
because of that which is to come.

Redemption through Jesus Christ

Abraham not only knew of these things,
but there were many
before the days of Abraham
who were called by the order of God;
yea, even after the order of his Son;
and this that it should be shown unto the people,
a great many thousand years before his coming,
that even redemption should come unto them.

Look upon the Son of God

As many as should
look upon the Son of God with faith,
having a contrite spirit, might live,
even unto that life which is eternal.

Peace through Jesus Christ

Peace,
peace be unto you, because of
your faith in my Well Beloved,
who was from the foundation of the world.

Have faith in Jesus Christ

What shall we do,
that this cloud of darkness
may be removed from overshadowing us?

You must repent, and cry
even until ye shall have faith in Christ,
who was taught unto you;
and when ye shall do this,
the cloud of darkness
shall be removed from overshadowing you.

Jesus Christ is our Rock

Remember, remember that it is upon
the rock of our Redeemer,
who is Christ, the Son of God,
that ye must build your foundation;
that when the devil
shall send forth his mighty winds,
yea, his shafts in the whirlwind,
yea, when all his hail and his mighty storm
shall beat upon you,
it shall have no power over you to drag you down
to the gulf of misery and endless wo,
because of the rock upon which ye are built,
which is a sure foundation,
a foundation whereon if men build
they cannot fall.

Salvation is only in Christ

O remember, remember
that there is no other way nor means
whereby man can be saved,
only through the atoning blood of Jesus Christ.

Yea, remember that
he cometh to redeem the world.

And he hath power
given unto him from the Father
to redeem them from their sins
because of repentance
which bringeth unto
the power of the Redeemer,
unto the salvation of their souls.

Sanctification through Jesus Christ

They did fast and pray oft,
and did wax stronger and
stronger in their humility,
and firmer and firmer
in the faith of Christ,
unto the filling their souls
with joy and consolation,
yea, even to the purifying
and the sanctification of their hearts,
which sanctification cometh because of
their yielding their hearts unto God.

Believe in Jesus Christ

Yea, thus we see
that the gate of heaven
is open unto all,
even to those who will
believe on the name of Jesus Christ,
who is the Son of God.

Rejoice in Christ's redemption

And it came to pass
that there were many
who died, firmly believing
that their souls were
redeemed by the Lord Jesus Christ;
thus they went out of the world rejoicing.

And those who died
in the faith of Christ
are happy in him,
as we must needs suppose.

We are not ashamed of Christ

If they should transgress
the commandments of God,
or fall into transgression,
and be ashamed to
take upon them the name of Christ,
the Lord should rend them.

Take the name of Christ

Surely God shall not suffer
that we, who are despised
because we take upon us
the name of Christ,
shall be trodden down
and destroyed.

We are Christians

And he prayed mightily unto his God
for the blessings of liberty
to rest upon his brethren,
so long as there should
a band of Christians
remain to possess the land—
For thus were all
the true believers of Christ,
who belonged to the church of God
called by those who
did not belong to the church.

And those who did belong
to the church were faithful; yea,
all those who were true believers in Christ
took upon them, gladly, the name of Christ,
or Christians as they were called,
because of their belief in Christ
who should come.

Believe in Jesus Christ

Believest thou
in Jesus Christ,
who shall come?

Yea, I believe
all the words
which thou
hast spoken.

Blessed art thou;
and the Lord shall
prosper thee
in this land.

The resurrection of Christ

Behold, it is requisite and just,
according to the power
and resurrection of Christ,
that the soul of man
should be restored to its body,
and that every part of the body
should be restored to itself.

Through the resurrection of Christ

And behold, again it hath been spoken,
that there is a first resurrection,
a resurrection of all those who have been,
or who are, or who shall be, down to
the resurrection of Christ from the dead,
the reuniting of the soul with the body,
of those from the days of Adam
down to the resurrection of Christ.

In other words,
their resurrection cometh to pass
before the resurrection of
those who die after the resurrection of Christ.

The souls and the bodies are reunited,
of the righteous, at the resurrection of Christ,
and his ascension into heaven.

Immortality through Christ

This mortal does not
put on immortality,
this corruption does not
put on incorruption
until after the coming of Christ.

Behold, he bringeth to pass
the resurrection of the dead.

The good news of Jesus Christ

I would say somewhat unto you
concerning the coming of Christ.

Behold, I say unto you,
that it is he that surely shall come
to take away the sins of the world;
yea, he cometh to declare
glad tidings of salvation
unto his people.

Only in and through Jesus Christ

I was three days and three nights
in the most bitter pain and anguish of soul;
and never, until I did cry out
unto the Lord Jesus Christ for mercy,
did I receive a remission of my sins.

But behold, I did cry unto him
and I did find peace to my soul.

And now, I have told you this
that ye may learn wisdom,
that ye may learn of me that
there is no other way or means
whereby man can be saved,
only in and through Christ.

Behold, he is
the life and the light of the world.

Behold, he is
the word of truth and righteousness.

Follow the words of Christ

Surely shall the words of Christ,
if we follow their course,
carry us beyond
this vale of sorrow
into a far better land of promise.

The word of God

It is easy to give heed
to the word of Christ,
which will point you to
a straight course to eternal bliss

Our faith in Jesus Christ

Preach unto them repentance,
and faith on the Lord Jesus Christ;
teach them to humble themselves
and to be meek and lowly in heart;
teach them to withstand
every temptation of the devil,
with their faith on the Lord Jesus Christ.
