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.
