Jesus said, "Search the scriptures;
for in them ye think ye have eternal life:
and they are they which testify of me."
(John 5:39)
What do the Mormons believe
about Jesus Christ?
"No man can say that Jesus is the Lord, but by the Holy Ghost."
(1 Corinthians 12:3)
And because of the knowledge of this man
he could not be kept from beholding within the veil;
and he saw the finger of Jesus,
which, when he saw, he fell with fear;
for he knew that it was the finger of the Lord;
and he had faith no longer, for he knew, nothing doubting.
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.
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 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.
(Mormon 9:37)
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 who have dwelt in the land.
(Mormon 9:36)
See that ye are not baptized unworthily;
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.
(Mormon 9:29)
Who will despise the works of the Lord?
Who will despise the children of Christ?
Behold, all ye who are despisers
of the works of the Lord,
for ye shall wonder and perish.
(Mormon 9:26)
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.
And who shall say that Jesus Christ
did not do many mighty miracles?
And there were many mighty miracles
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.
(Mormon 9:13)
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.
(Mormon 9:12)
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.
(Mormon 9:8)
And now, I speak also concerning
those who do not believe in Christ.
Behold, Jesus Christ hath
shown you unto me,
and I know your doing.
(Mormon 8:35)
There are none that do know the true God
save it be the disciples of Jesus.
(Mormon 8:10)
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 7:10)
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.
(Mormon 7:8)
The day soon cometh that
your mortal must put on immortality,
and these bodies must soon
become incorruptible bodies;
and then ye must stand before
the judgment-seat of Christ,
to be judged according to your works;
and if it so be that ye are righteous,
then are ye blessed with your fathers
who have gone before you.
(Mormon 6:21)
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.
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 3:22)
And ye may believe the gospel of Jesus Christ,
which ye shall have among you;
and also 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.
(Mormon 3:21)
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.
(Mormon 3:20)
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)
And it came to pass that
there were none that were righteous
save it were the disciples of Jesus.
(4 Nephi 1:46)
And it came to pass that
in this year there arose a people
who were called the Nephites,
and they were true believers in 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
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.
(4 Nephi 1:17-18)
The people had multiplied, insomuch that
they were spread upon all the face of the land,
and they had become exceedingly rich,
because of their prosperity in Christ.
(4 Nephi 1:23)
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)
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)
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:
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 29:7)
Wo unto him that spurneth
at the doings of the Lord;
yea, wo unto him that shall
deny the Christ and his works!
(3 Nephi 29:5)
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)
All people must surely stand
before the judgment-seat of Christ.
(3 Nephi 28:31)
And it shall come to pass,
when the Lord seeth fit in his wisdom that
they shall minister unto all the scattered tribes of Israel,
and unto all nations, kindreds, tongues and people,
and shall bring out of them unto Jesus many souls,
that their desire may be fulfilled.
(3 Nephi 28:29)
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.
(3 Nephi 28:23)
And it came to pass that
when Jesus had spoken these words,
he touched every one of them with his finger
save it were the three who were to tarry,
and then he departed.
And it came to pass
when Jesus had said these words,
he spake unto his disciples,
one by one, saying unto them:
What is it that ye desire of me,
after that I am gone to the Father?
And it came to pass that
when Jesus had ended these sayings
he said unto his disciples:
Enter ye in at the strait gate;
for strait is the gate,
and narrow is the way that leads to life,
and few there be that find it;
but wide is the gate,
and broad the way which leads to death,
and many there be that travel therein,
until the night cometh,
wherein no man can work.
(3 Nephi 27:33)
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 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?
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.
(3 Nephi 27:1)
And they who were
baptized in the name of Jesus
were called the church of Christ.
(3 Nephi 26:21)
And it came to pass that
they did do all things even as
Jesus had commanded them.
(3 Nephi 26:20)
And it came to pass that
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.
(3 Nephi 26:17)
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.
(3 Nephi 26:13)
These things have I written,
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, from the Gentiles,
according to the words
which Jesus hath spoken.
(3 Nephi 26:8)
And now there cannot be written in this book
even a hundredth part of the things
which Jesus did truly teach unto the people.
(3 Nephi 26:6)
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.
(3 Nephi 26:1)
And now it came to pass that
when Jesus had said these words
he said unto them again,
after he had expounded
all the scriptures unto them
which they had received,
he said unto them: Behold,
other scriptures I would that
It shall come to pass that whosoever
will not believe in my words,
who am Jesus Christ,
they shall be cut off
from among my people
who are of the covenant.
(3 Nephi 21:11)
And they shall believe in me,
that I am Jesus Christ, the Son of God,
and shall pray unto the Father in my name.
(3 Nephi 19:31)
Now, when the multitude had all eaten and drunk,
behold, 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.
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.
(3 Nephi 20:9-10)
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.
And it came to pass that he went again
a little way off and prayed unto the Father;
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.
(3 Nephi 19:30)
And Jesus said unto them: Pray on;
nevertheless they did not cease to pray.
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.
(3 Nephi 19:25)
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:
And behold, they began to pray;
and they did pray unto Jesus,
calling him their Lord and their God.
(3 Nephi 19:18)
And it came to pass that
while the angels were
ministering unto the disciples,
behold, Jesus came
and stood in the midst
and ministered unto them.
(3 Nephi 19:15)
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.
(3 Nephi 19:8)
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.
(3 Nephi 19:6-7)
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 came to pass that
when Jesus had touched them all,
there came a cloud and
overshadowed the multitude
that they could not see Jesus.
And it came to pass that
when Jesus had made an end of these sayings,
he touched with his hand the disciples
whom he had chosen, one by one,
even until he had touched them all,
and spake unto them as he touched them.
And it came to pass that
when Jesus had spoken these words unto his disciples,
he turned again unto the multitude and said unto them:
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
Jesus commanded his disciples
that they should bring forth some
bread and wine unto him.
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 it came to pass that
he commanded that their
little children should be brought.
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.
Behold, now it came to pass that
when Jesus had spoken these words
he looked round about again on the multitude,
and he said unto them:
Behold, my time is at hand.
Verily I say unto you, that
ye are they of whom I said:
Other sheep I have which are not of this fold;
them also I must bring,
and they shall hear my voice;
and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd.
And now it came to pass that
when Jesus had spoken these words,
he said unto those twelve whom he had chosen:
Ye are my disciples; and ye are a light unto this people.
(3 Nephi 15:11-12)
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.
(3 Nephi 15:1)
I would that ye should
be perfect even as I,
or your Father
who is in heaven
is perfect.
(3 Nephi 12:48)
And it came to pass that when
Jesus had spoken these words unto Nephi,
and to those who had been called,
(now the number of them who had been called,
and received power and authority to baptize, was twelve)
and behold, he stretched forth his hand unto the multitude,
and cried unto them, saying: Blessed are ye if ye shall
give heed unto the words of these twelve
whom I have chosen from among you
to minister unto you, and to be your servants;
and unto them I have given power that
they may baptize you with water;
and after that ye are baptized with water, behold,
I will baptize you with fire and with the Holy Ghost;
therefore blessed are ye if ye shall believe in me and
be baptized, after that ye have seen me and know that I am.
(3 Nephi 12:1)
And the Lord said unto him:
I give unto you power that
ye shall baptize this people
when I am again ascended into heaven.
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, 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.
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.
(3 Nephi 11:6-7)
And they were also conversing
about this Jesus Christ,
of whom the sign had been given
concerning his death.
(3 Nephi 11:2)
I will show unto you that the people
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.
(3 Nephi 10:18-19)
Behold, I say unto you,
Yea, many have testified of these things
at the coming of Christ.
(3 Nephi 10:15)
And their mourning was turned into joy,
and their lamentations into the praise
and thanksgiving unto the
Lord Jesus Christ, their Redeemer.
(3 Nephi 10:10)
Behold, I have come unto the world
to bring redemption unto the world,
to save the world from sin.
Behold, I am Jesus Christ the Son of God.
I created the heavens and the earth,
and all things that in them are.
