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.
Come unto Jesus
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?
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.
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
Unity in Jesus Christ
