We Testify Of Christ

If You Believe Not In Christ

2009-11-11T10:16:00.002-05:00

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?

Do ye suppose that ye shall dwell with him
under a consciousness of your guilt?

Do ye suppose that ye could be happy
to dwell with that holy Being,
when your souls are racked
with a consciousness of guilt
that ye have ever abused his laws?

Behold, I say unto you that
ye would be more miserable
to dwell with a holy and just God,
under a consciousness
of your filthiness before him,
than ye would
to dwell with the damned souls in hell.

For 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.
(Mormon 9:1-6)

Unashamed Of Christ

2009-11-10T08:27:00.001-05:00

Why are ye ashamed
to take upon you
the name of Christ?
(Mormon 8:38)

Know Jesus, Know God

2009-11-09T07:23:00.001-05:00

And there are none
that do know the true God
save it be the disciples of Jesus.
(Mormon 8:10)

How To Come Unto Christ

2009-11-08T08:47:00.003-05:00

Repent, and be baptized in the name of Jesus,
and lay hold upon the gospel of Christ,
which shall be set before you;
and 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.
(Mormon 7:8 & 10)

Salvation Is In Jesus Christ

2009-11-06T07:16:00.002-05:00

Know ye that ye must come to
the knowledge of your fathers,
and repent of all your sins and iniquities,
and 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, which are one God,
in a state of happiness which hath no end.
(Mormon 7:5-7)

Stand Before Christ

2009-11-05T07:12:00.002-05:00

The day soon cometh that
your mortal must put on immortality,
and these bodies which are now
moldering in corruption
must soon become incorruptible bodies;
and then ye must stand
before the judgment-seat of Christ.
(Mormon 6:21)

O Ye Fair Ones!

2009-11-04T07:18:00.002-05:00

O ye fair ones,
how could ye have departed
from the ways of the Lord!

O ye fair ones,
how could ye have rejected
that Jesus, who stood with open arms
to receive you!

Behold, if ye had not done this,
ye would not have fallen.
(Mormon 6:17-18)

Without Christ

2009-11-03T07:38:00.002-05:00

Behold, the Spirit of the Lord hath
already ceased to strive with their fathers;
and they are without Christ and God in the world;
and they are driven about as chaff before the wind.

They were once a delightsome people,
and they had Christ for their shepherd;
yea, they were led even by God the Father.

But now, behold, they are led about by Satan,
even as chaff is driven before the wind,
or as a vessel is tossed about upon the waves,
without sail or anchor,
or without anything wherewith to steer her;
and even as she is, so are they.
(Mormon 5:16-18)

Believe In Jesus Christ

2009-11-02T08:55:00.003-05:00

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.
(Mormon 5:14)

Prepare To Stand Before Christ

2009-10-30T07:17:00.002-04:00

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 Jews, 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.
(Mormon 3:20-22)

Christ's Justice

2009-10-29T07:18:00.002-04:00

And when they had sworn by
all that had been forbidden them
by our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ,
behold the voice of the Lord came unto me,
saying:

Vengeance is mine, and I will repay;
and because this people repented not
after I had delivered them,
behold, they shall be cut off
from the face of the earth.
(Mormon 3:14-15)

Know The Goodness Of Christ

2009-10-28T07:14:00.001-04:00

And I, being fifteen years of age
and being somewhat of a sober mind,
therefore I was visited of the Lord,
and tasted and knew of the goodness of Jesus.
(Mormon 1:15)

Righteousness In Christ

2009-10-27T07:18:00.001-04:00

And there were none that were righteous
save it were the disciples of Jesus.
(4 Nephi 1:46)

Worship Christ

2009-10-26T07:10:00.002-04:00

They were true believers in Christ;
and true worshipers of 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.
(4 Nephi 1:36-38)

As Jesus Said

2009-10-23T07:21:00.003-04:00

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,
and they did cast them into prison;
but by the power of the word of God, which was in them,
the prisons were rent in twain, and 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.
(4 Nephi 1:29-31)

Abundance In Christ

2009-10-22T07:04:00.001-04:00

And they had become
exceedingly rich,
because of
their prosperity in Christ.
(4 Nephi 1:23)

Children Of Christ

2009-10-21T07:15:00.002-04:00

And it came to pass that
there was no contention in the land,
because of the love of God
which did dwell in the hearts of the people.

But they were in one, the children of Christ,
and heirs to the kingdom of God.
(4 Nephi 1:15 & 17)

Chosen By Christ

2009-10-20T08:08:00.002-04:00

And the disciples of Jesus,
whom he had chosen,
had all gone to the paradise of God,
save it were the three who should tarry;
and there were other disciples
ordained in their stead.
(4 Nephi 1:14)

Miracles In Christ

2009-10-19T06:57:00.001-04:00

There were mighty miracles
wrought among the disciples of Jesus.
(4 Nephi 1:13)

Wrought Upon By Jesus

2009-10-16T10:30:00.001-04:00

And 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.
(4 Nephi 1:5)

Disciples Of Jesus Christ

2009-10-15T08:50:00.002-04:00

And 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.
(4 Nephi 1:1)

Christ's Call To Us

2009-10-14T07:11:00.002-04:00

Hearken, O ye Gentiles,
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, all ye Gentiles, 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.
(3 Nephi 30:1-2)

Deny Not The Works Of Christ

2009-10-13T07:02:00.002-04:00

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!
(3 Nephi 29:5-7)

Receive All The Words Of Christ

2009-10-12T06:56:00.002-04:00

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 these things must surely come.

And 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.
(3 Nephi 28:33-34)

Jesus Will Be Our Judge

2009-10-09T07:00:00.001-04:00

All people
must surely stand before
the judgment-seat of Christ.
(3 Nephi 28:31)
