Little children
are blessed;
for behold,
as in Adam,
or by nature,
they fall,
even so
the blood
of Christ
atoneth
for their sins.
And moreover,
I say unto you,
that men
drink damnation
to their own souls
except they
humble themselves
and become as
little children,
and believe
that salvation
was, and is,
and is to come,
in and through
the atoning blood
of Christ,
the Lord Omnipotent.
Children in Christ
Exceedingly great joy
The Lord God hath sent
his holy prophets
among all the children of men,
to declare these things
to every kindred,
nation, and tongue,
that thereby
whosoever should believe
that Christ should come,
the same might receive
remission of their sins,
and rejoice with
exceedingly great joy.
Salvation cometh
Salvation
cometh to none
except
it be through
repentance
and faith
on the Lord
Jesus Christ.
Great joy
Awake, and hear the words
which I shall tell thee;
for behold,
I am come
to declare unto you
the glad tidings
of great joy.
For behold,
the time cometh,
and is not far distant,
that with power,
the Lord Omnipotent
who reigneth,
who was, and is
from all eternity
to all eternity,
shall come down
from heaven
among the children of men,
and shall dwell
in a tabernacle of clay,
and shall go forth
amongst men,
working mighty miracles,
such as healing the sick,
raising the dead,
causing the lame to walk,
the blind to receive their sight,
and the deaf to hear,
and curing all manner of diseases.
And he shall cast out devils,
or the evil spirits
which dwell in the hearts
of the children of men.
And lo,
he shall suffer temptations,
and pain of body,
hunger, thirst, and fatigue,
even more than
man can suffer,
except it be unto death;
for behold,
blood cometh from every pore,
so great shall be his anguish
for the wickedness
and the abominations
of his people.
And he shall be called
Jesus Christ, the Son of God,
the Father of heaven and earth,
the Creator of all things
from the beginning;
and his mother
shall be called Mary.
And lo,
he cometh unto his own,
that salvation might come
unto the children of men
even through faith on his name;
and even after all this
they shall consider him a man,
and say that he hath a devil,
and shall scourge him,
and shall crucify him.
And he shall rise
the third day
from the dead;
and behold,
he standeth
to judge the world;
and behold,
all these things are done
that a righteous judgment
might come upon
the children of men.
My prayer
And my prayer to God
is concerning my brethren,
that they may once again
come to the knowledge of God,
yea, the redemption of Christ
Come unto Him
And now, I would
that ye should
come unto Christ,
who is the Holy One of Israel,
and partake of his salvation,
and the power of his redemption.
Yea, come unto him,
and offer your whole souls
as an offering unto him,
and endure to the end;
and as the Lord liveth
ye will be saved.
The coming Messiah
The prophets,
and the priests,
and the teachers,
did labor diligently,
exhorting with
all long-suffering
the people to diligence,
persuading them
to look forward unto
the Messiah,
and believe in him
to come as though
he already was.
The truth in Christ
I must preach and prophesy
unto this people,
and declare the word
according to the truth
which is in Christ.
And I have declared it
in all my days,
and have rejoiced in it
above that of the world.
In the name of Christ
Whatsoever thing
ye shall ask in faith,
believing that
ye shall receive
in the name of Christ,
ye shall receive it.
Because of faith in Christ
And there came
a voice unto me,
saying:
Thy sins are
forgiven thee,
and thou shalt
be blessed.
And I knew
that God
could not lie;
wherefore,
my guilt was
swept away.
And I said:
Lord, how is it done?
And he said unto me:
Because of
thy faith
in Christ.
They truly testify of Him
And he said: I fear
lest I have committed
the unpardonable sin,
for I have lied unto God;
for I denied the Christ,
and said that I believed
the scriptures;
and they truly
testify of him.
They have spoken concerning Christ
Believest thou
the scriptures?
They truly
testify of Christ.
Behold,
I say unto you
that none of
the prophets
have written,
nor prophesied,
save they have spoken
concerning this Christ.
And this is not all—
it has been made
manifest unto me,
for I have heard and seen;
and it also has been made
manifest unto me
by the power
of the Holy Ghost;
wherefore, I know
if there should be
no atonement made
all mankind must be lost.
Will ye reject these words?
Behold,
will ye reject
these words?
Will ye reject
the words of
the prophets;
and will ye reject
all the words
which have been spoken
concerning Christ,
after so many
have spoken
concerning him;
and deny
the good word
of Christ,
and the power of God,
and the gift of the Holy Ghost,
and quench the Holy Spirit,
and make a mock of
the great plan of redemption,
which hath been laid for you?
Know ye not
that if ye will
do these things,
that the power
of the redemption
and the resurrection,
which is in Christ,
will bring you to stand
with shame
and awful guilt
before the bar of God?
Why not speak of Christ?
Wherefore, be reconciled
unto him through
the atonement of Christ,
his Only Begotten Son,
and ye may obtain
a resurrection,
according to the power
of the resurrection
which is in Christ,
and be presented
as the first-fruits
of Christ
unto God,
having faith,
and obtained
a good hope
of glory in him.
And now, beloved,
marvel not
that I tell you
these things;
for why not speak of
the atonement of Christ,
and attain to
a perfect knowledge
of him?
Hope of His glory
For this intent
have we written
these things,
that they may know
that we knew of Christ,
and we had
a hope of his glory
many hundred years
before his coming;
and not only
we ourselves
had a hope
of his glory,
but also
all the holy prophets
which were before us.
Behold,
they believed
in Christ
and worshiped
the Father
in his name,
and also
we worship
the Father
in his name.
Persuade them to come unto Christ
And we also had
many revelations,
and the spirit
of much prophecy;
wherefore,
we knew of Christ
and his kingdom,
which should come.
Wherefore,
we labored diligently
among our people,
that we might
persuade them
to come unto Christ,
and partake of
the goodness of God,
that they might
enter into his rest.
Wherefore,
we would to God
that all men would
believe in Christ,
and view his death,
and suffer his cross
and bear the shame
of the world.
The words of Christ
Hearken unto these words
and believe in Christ;
and if ye believe not
in these words
believe in Christ.
And if ye shall
believe in Christ
ye will believe
in these words,
for they are
the words of Christ,
and he hath
given them
unto me;
and they teach
all men that they
should do good.
And if they are not
the words of Christ,
judge ye—
for Christ will
show unto you,
with power
and great glory,
that they are
his words,
at the last day;
and you and I
shall stand
face to face
before his bar;
and ye shall know
that I have been
commanded of him
to write these things,
notwithstanding
my weakness.
And I pray the Father
in the name of Christ
that many of us,
if not all,
may be saved
in his kingdom
at that great
and last day.
