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.
Persuade Them Unto Christ
These Things Testify Of Christ
I should preserve these plates
and hand them down unto my seed,
from generation to generation.
And if there were preaching which was sacred,
or revelation which was great, or prophesying,
I should engraven the heads of them upon these plates,
and touch upon them as much as it were possible,
for Christ’s sake, and for the sake of our people.
And we had many revelations,
and the spirit of much prophecy;
wherefore, we knew of Christ and his kingdom.
Saved In The Name Of Christ
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.
These Are The Words Of Jesus 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.
Be Reconciled Unto Christ
Great Faith in Jesus Christ
I have great faith in Christ
that I shall meet many souls
spotless at his judgment-seat.
We Speak of Jesus Christ
And the words which I have
written in weakness will be
made strong unto them; for
it speaketh of Jesus,
and persuadeth them
to believe in him,
and to endure to the end,
which is life eternal.
Pray in the Name of Jesus Christ
Ye must not perform
any thing unto the Lord
save in the first place
ye shall pray unto the Father
in the name of Christ,
that he will consecrate
thy performance unto thee,
that thy performance may be
for the welfare of thy soul.
Observe the Words of Christ
Behold, this is the doctrine of Christ,
and there will be no more doctrine given
until after he shall manifest himself
unto you in the flesh.
And when he shall manifest himself
unto you in the flesh,
the things which he shall say unto you
shall ye observe to do.
The Word of the Lord
Feast upon the words of Christ;
for behold, the words of Christ
will tell you all things
what ye should do.
No Other Way But Christ
And now, behold,
this is the way;
and there is none other way
nor name given under heaven
whereby man can be saved
in the kingdom of God.
And now, behold,
this is the doctrine of Christ,
and the only and true doctrine
of the Father,
and of the Son,
and of the Holy Ghost,
which is one God,
without end.
Unshaken Faith in Jesus Christ
Ye have not come thus far
save it were by the word of Christ
with unshaken faith in him,
relying wholly upon the merits
of him who is mighty to save.
Wherefore, ye must press forward
with a steadfastness in Christ,
having a perfect brightness of hope,
and a love of God and of all men.
Wherefore, if ye shall press forward,
feasting upon the word of Christ,
and endure to the end,
behold, thus saith the Father:
Ye shall have eternal life.
Following Jesus' Example
Come Follow Jesus Christ
I know that if ye shall follow the Son,
with full purpose of heart,
acting no hypocrisy
and no deception before God,
but with real intent, repenting of your sins,
witnessing unto the Father that
ye are willing to take upon you
the name of Christ, by baptism—
yea, by following your Lord and your Savior
down into the water, according to his word,
behold, then shall ye receive the Holy Ghost;
yea, then cometh the baptism
of fire and of the Holy Ghost;
and then can ye speak with the tongue of angels,
and shout praises unto the Holy One of Israel.
Follow the Example of Christ
I must speak concerning the doctrine of Christ.
Wherefore, I would that ye should remember that
I have spoken unto you concerning that prophet
which the Lord showed unto me,
that should baptize the Lamb of God,
which should take away the sins of the world.
And now, if the Lamb of God, he being holy,
should have need to be baptized by water,
to fulfil all righteousness,
O then, how much more need have we, being unholy,
to be baptized, yea, even by water!
And now, I would ask of you,
wherein the Lamb of God did fulfil all righteousness
in being baptized by water?
Know ye not that he was holy?
But notwithstanding he being holy,
he showeth unto the children of men that,
according to the flesh
he humbleth himself before the Father,
and witnesseth unto the Father that
he would be obedient unto him
in keeping his commandments.
Wherefore, after he was baptized with water
the Holy Ghost descended upon him
in the form of a dove.
And again, it showeth unto the children of men
the straitness of the path,
and the narrowness of the gate,
by which they should enter,
he having set the example before them.
And he said unto the children of men: Follow thou me.
Wherefore can we follow Jesus
save we shall be willing
to keep the commandments of the Father?
And the Father said: Repent ye, repent ye,
and be baptized in the name of my Beloved Son.
And also, the voice of the Son came unto me, saying:
He that is baptized in my name,
to him will the Father give the Holy Ghost, like unto me;
wherefore, follow me, and do the things
which ye have seen me do.
Restored to a Knowledge of Christ
And the gospel of Jesus Christ
shall be declared among them;
wherefore, they shall be restored
unto the knowledge of their fathers,
and also to the knowledge of Jesus Christ,
which was had among their fathers.
And then shall they rejoice;
for they shall know that it is a blessing
unto them from the hand of God;
and their scales of darkness
shall begin to fall from their eyes;
and many generations
shall not pass away among them,
save they shall be a pure
and a delightsome people.
And it shall come to pass that
the Jews which are scattered
also shall begin to believe in Christ;
and as many as shall believe in Christ
shall also become a delightsome people.
Humble Followers of Christ
They have all gone astray
save it be a few, who are
the humble followers of Christ.
Christ's Word & Power
The words of the book
which were sealed
shall be read
upon the house tops;
and they shall be read
by the power of Christ.
All People Shall Know of Christ
And as I spake concerning
the convincing of the Jews,
that Jesus is the very Christ,
it must needs be that the Gentiles
be convinced also that
Jesus is the Christ,
the Eternal God;
And that he manifesteth himself
unto all those who believe in him,
by the power of the Holy Ghost;
yea, unto every nation, kindred,
tongue, and people,
working mighty miracles,
signs, and wonders,
among the children of men
according to their faith.
Our Peace in Christ
Behold, the righteous
that hearken unto
the words of the prophets,
and destroy them not, but
look forward unto Christ
with steadfastness
for the signs which are given,
notwithstanding all persecution—
behold, they are they
which shall not perish.
But the Son of righteousness
shall appear unto them;
and he shall heal them,
and they shall have peace with him.
Signs of Christ
And after the Messiah shall come
there shall be signs given
unto my people of his birth,
and also of his death and resurrection.
The Law of Christ
And after Christ shall have
risen from the dead
he shall show himself unto you;
and the words which
he shall speak unto you
shall be the law which ye shall do.
Believe in Christ and Worship Him
And now behold,
I say unto you that
the right way is to
believe in Christ,
and deny him not;
and Christ is
the Holy One of Israel;
wherefore ye must
bow down before him,
and worship him
with all your might,
mind, and strength,
and your whole soul;
and if ye do this
ye shall in nowise be cast out.
Deny Not Jesus Christ
The words which I have spoken
shall stand as a testimony against you;
for they are sufficient to
teach any man the right way;
for the right way is to
believe in Christ and deny him not;
for by denying him
ye also deny the prophets and the law.
We Rejoice in Christ
We talk of Christ,
we rejoice in Christ,
we preach of Christ,
we prophesy of Christ, and
we write according to our prophecies,
that our children may know
to what source they may look
for a remission of their sins
that our children may
look forward unto
that life which is in Christ, and
not harden their hearts against him.
Alive in Christ
The Grace of God in Christ Jesus
We labor diligently to write,
to persuade our children,
and also our brethren,
to believe in Christ, and
to be reconciled to God;
for we know that
it is by grace that we are saved,
after all we can do.
None Other Name But Christ
I say unto you,
that as these things are true,
and as the Lord God liveth,
there is none other name
given under heaven
save it be this Jesus Christ,
of which I have spoken,
whereby man can be saved.
Jesus Christ is the True Messiah
The Lord will set his hand again
the second time to restore his people
from their lost and fallen state.
Wherefore, he will proceed to do
a marvelous work and a wonder
among the children of men.
Wherefore, he shall bring forth
his words unto them, which words
shall judge them at the last day,
for they shall be given them
for the purpose of convincing them
of the true Messiah,
who was rejected by them;
and unto the convincing of them that
they need not look forward any more
for a Messiah to come,
for there should not any come,
save it should be a false Messiah
which should deceive the people;
for there is save one Messiah
spoken of by the prophets,
and that Messiah is he
who should be rejected of the Jews.
For according to the words of the prophets,
the Messiah cometh,
and according to the words of the prophets,
and also the word of the angel of God,
his name shall be Jesus Christ, the Son of God.
They Shall Believe in Christ
And behold it shall come to pass that
after the Messiah hath risen from the dead,
and hath manifested himself unto his people,
unto as many as will believe on his name,
they shall be persuaded to
believe in Christ, the Son of God, and
the atonement, which is infinite for all mankind;
and they shall believe in Christ,
and worship the Father in his name,
with pure hearts and clean hands,
and look not forward any more
for another Messiah, then, at that time,
the day will come that
it must needs be expedient that
they should believe these things.
The Only Begotten of the Father
When the day cometh that
the Only Begotten of the Father,
yea, even the Father
of heaven and of earth,
shall manifest himself
unto them in the flesh,
behold, they will reject him,
because of their iniquities,
and the hardness of their hearts,
and the stiffness of their necks.
Behold, they will crucify him;
and after he is laid in a sepulchre
for the space of three days
he shall rise from the dead,
with healing in his wings;
and all those
who shall believe on his name
shall be saved in the kingdom of God.
Wherefore, my soul delighteth
to prophesy concerning him,
for I have seen his day,
and my heart doth
magnify his holy name.
There is a Christ
All Things Testify of Christ
My soul delighteth
in proving unto my people
the truth of the coming of Christ;
for, for this end hath the law been given;
and all things which have been given
of God from the beginning
of the world, unto man,
are the typifying of him.
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.
Jesus is Our Savior
He will bring them again
out of captivity, and
they shall be brought
out of obscurity
and out of darkness;
and they shall know that
the Lord is their Savior
and their Redeemer,
the Mighty One of Israel.
Our Savior
All flesh shall know that
I, the Lord,
am thy Savior
and thy Redeemer,
the Mighty One of Jacob.
Believe in Christ More Fully
But that I might more fully
persuade them to believe
in the Lord their Redeemer
I did read unto them
that which was written by
the prophet Isaiah.
The Savior's Loving Kindness
Behold he cometh,
according to the words of the angel,
and the world, because of their iniquity,
shall judge him to be a thing of naught;
wherefore they scourge him,
and he suffereth it;
and they smite him,
and he suffereth it.
Yea, they spit upon him,
and he suffereth it,
because of his loving kindness
and his long-suffering
towards the children of men.
And the God of our fathers, yea,
the God of Abraham, and of Isaac,
and the God of Jacob, yieldeth himself,
according to the words of the angel,
as a man, into the hands of wicked men,
to be lifted up, and to be crucified,
and to be buried in a sepulchre,
according to the words of Zenos,
which he spake concerning
the three days of darkness,
which should be a sign given of his death
unto those who should
inhabit the isles of the sea.
Jesus is the Messiah
After the Messiah shall be manifested
in body unto the children of men,
then shall the fulness of
the gospel of the Messiah
come unto the Gentiles—
And then shall they know and
come to the knowledge of their forefathers,
and also to the knowledge of
the gospel of their Redeemer, which was
ministered unto their fathers by him;
wherefore, they shall come to
the knowledge of their Redeemer
and the very points of his doctrine,
that they may know how to
come unto him and be saved.
Power in Jesus Christ
And it came to pass that I beheld
the power of the Lamb of God,
that it descended upon
the saints of the church of the Lamb,
and upon the covenant people of the Lord,
who were scattered
upon all the face of the earth;
and they were armed with righteousness
and with the power of God in great glory.
Receive the Lord
Wo be unto the Gentiles
if it so be that they
harden their hearts
against the Lamb of God.
Hearken to the Lamb of God
If the Gentiles shall
hearken unto the Lamb of God
in that day that
he shall manifest himself
unto them in word, and
also in power, in very deed,
unto the taking away
of their stumbling blocks—
And harden not their hearts
against the Lamb of God,
they shall be a blessed people;
they shall be no more
brought down into captivity;
and shall no more be confounded.
One Testimony of Jesus Christ
According to the words
which shall be established
by the mouth of the Lamb,
the words of the Lamb
shall be made known
in the records of thy seed,
as well as in the records of
the twelve apostles of the Lamb;
wherefore they both
shall be established in one;
for there is one God and one Shepherd
over all the earth.
And the time cometh that
he shall manifest himself unto all nations,
both unto the Jews and also unto the Gentiles;
and after he has manifested himself
unto the Jews and also unto the Gentiles,
then he shall manifest himself
unto the Gentiles and also unto the Jews,
and the last shall be first,
and the first shall be last.
These Things Testify of Christ
These last records shall
establish the truth of the first, which are
of the twelve apostles of the Lamb,
and shall make known
the plain and precious things
which have been taken away from them;
and shall make known
to all kindreds, tongues, and people,
that the Lamb of God is
the Son of the Eternal Father,
and the Savior of the world;
and that all men must come unto him,
or they cannot be saved.
Saved in Christ's Kingdom
If they endure unto the end
they shall be lifted up at the last day,
and shall be saved in
the everlasting kingdom of the Lamb.
The word of the Lord
Behold, saith the Lamb:
I will manifest myself unto thy seed,
that they shall write many things which
I shall minister unto them,
which shall be plain and precious;
and behold, these things shall come forth
by the gift and power of the Lamb.
And in them shall be written my gospel,
saith the Lamb, and
my rock and my salvation.
Because of our faith in Christ
I saw the heavens open,
and the Lamb of God
descending out of heaven;
and he came down
and showed himself unto them,
and their garments were white
even like unto the Lamb of God.
And the angel said unto me:
These are made white
in the blood of the Lamb,
because of their faith in him.
Cleansed through faith in Christ
Behold,
they are righteous forever;
for because of their faith
in the Lamb of God
their garments are
made white in his blood.
The ministry of Jesus Christ
The angel said unto me again:
Look and behold
the condescension of God!
And I looked and beheld
the Redeemer of the world,
and I also beheld the prophet
who should prepare the way before him.
And the Lamb of God went forth
and was baptized of him;
and after he was baptized,
I beheld the heavens open,
and the Holy Ghost come down out of heaven
and abide upon him in the form of a dove.
And I beheld that he went forth
ministering unto the people,
in power and great glory;
and the multitudes were
gathered together to hear him;
and I beheld that
they cast him out from among them.
And I also beheld twelve others following him.
And he spake unto me again, saying: Look!
And I looked, and I beheld the Lamb of God
going forth among the children of men.
And I beheld multitudes of people
who were sick, and who were afflicted
with all manner of diseases,
and with devils and unclean spirits;
and they were healed
by the power of the Lamb of God;
and the devils and the unclean spirits
were cast out.
And it came to pass that
the angel spake unto me again, saying: Look!
And I looked and beheld the Lamb of God,
that he was taken by the people;
yea, the Son of the everlasting God
was judged of the world;
and I saw and bear record.
And I saw that
he was lifted up upon the cross
and slain for the sins of the world.
And after he was slain
I saw the multitudes of the earth,
that they were gathered together
to fight against the apostles of the Lamb
The Son of God
And it came to pass that
I saw the heavens open;
and an angel came down
and stood before me;
and he said unto me:
what beholdest thou?
And I said unto him:
A virgin, most beautiful and
fair above all other virgins.
And he said unto me: Behold,
the virgin whom thou seest is
the mother of the Son of God,
after the manner of the flesh.
And it came to pass that
I beheld that she was
carried away in the Spirit;
and after she had been
carried away in the Spirit
for the space of a time
the angel spake unto me,
saying: Look!
And I looked and
beheld the virgin again,
bearing a child in her arms.
And the angel said unto me:
Behold the Lamb of God, yea,
even the Son of the Eternal Father!
And he said unto me: Look!
And I looked, and I beheld
the Son of God going forth
among the children of men;
and I saw many fall down
at his feet and worship him.
Bear witness of Jesus Christ
Blessed art thou
because thou believest in
the Son of the most high God,
and him shall ye witness;
and after ye have witnessed him
ye shall bear record that
it is the Son of God.
The coming of Christ
Faith on the Son of God
He spake by
the power of the Holy Ghost,
which power he received
by faith on the Son of God—
and the Son of God was
the Messiah who should come.
Our Lord and Redeemer
After the house of Israel
should be scattered
they should be gathered
together again; or, in fine
should be grafted in,
or come to the knowledge
of the true Messiah,
their Lord and their Redeemer.
The coming Messiah
He spake unto my brethren
concerning the gospel which
should be preached among the Jews.
And after they had
slain the Messiah, who should come,
and after he had been slain
he should rise from the dead,
and should make himself manifest,
by the Holy Ghost, unto the Gentiles.
Behold the Lamb of God
And he spake also concerning a prophet
who should come before the Messiah,
to prepare the way of the Lord—
Yea, even he should go forth
and cry in the wilderness:
Prepare ye the way of the Lord,
and make his paths straight;
for there standeth one among you
whom ye know not;
and he is mightier than I,
whose shoe’s latchet
I am not worthy to unloose.
And much spake my father
concerning this thing.
And my father said he should baptize
the Messiah with water.
And after he had
baptized the Messiah with water,
he should behold and bear record that
he had baptized the Lamb of God,
who should take away the sins of the world.
Savior of the world
Yea, a prophet would the Lord God
raise up among the Jews—
even a Messiah, or, in other words,
a Savior of the world.
And how great a number
had testified of these things,
concerning this Messiah,
or this Redeemer of the world.
Wherefore, all mankind were
in a lost and in a fallen state,
and ever would be
save they should rely
on this Redeemer.
They knew our Savior
Come unto Jesus Christ
And again I would exhort you that ye would
come unto Christ, and lay hold upon every good gift.
Yea, come unto Christ,
and be perfected in him,
and deny yourselves of all ungodliness;
and if ye shall deny yourselves of all ungodliness,
and love God with all your might, mind and strength,
then is his grace sufficient for you,
that by his grace ye may be perfect in Christ;
and if by the grace of God ye are perfect in Christ,
ye can in nowise deny the power of God.
And again, if ye by the grace of God
are perfect in Christ, and deny not his power,
then are ye sanctified in Christ by the grace of God,
through the shedding of the blood of Christ,
which is in the covenant of the Father
unto the remission of your sins,
that ye become holy, without spot.
All things through Christ
Christ truly said unto our fathers:
If ye have faith
ye can do all things
which are expedient unto me.
Knowing Jesus Christ
Having faith in Jesus Christ
When ye shall receive these things,
I would exhort you that ye would
ask God, the Eternal Father,
in the name of Christ,
if these things are not true;
and if ye shall ask
with a sincere heart, with real intent,
having faith in Christ,
he will manifest the truth of it unto you,
by the power of the Holy Ghost.
Our Lord Jesus Christ
May the grace of God the Father,
whose throne is high in the heavens,
and our Lord Jesus Christ,
who sitteth on the right hand of his power,
until all things shall become subject unto him,
be, and abide with you forever.
Hope and glory in Jesus Christ
Be faithful in Christ;
and may Christ lift thee up,
and may his sufferings and death,
and the showing his body unto our fathers,
and his mercy and long-suffering,
and the hope of his glory and of eternal life,
rest in your mind forever.
Deny not the mercies of Christ
And he that saith that little children need baptism
denieth the mercies of Christ,
and setteth at naught the atonement of him
and the power of his redemption.
Behold that all little children are alive in Christ,
and also all they that are without the law.
For the power of redemption cometh
on all them that have no law;
wherefore, he that is not condemned,
or he that is under no condemnation,
cannot repent; and unto such
baptism availeth nothing—
But it is mockery before God,
denying the mercies of Christ.
Praying in Jesus' name
I am mindful of you always in my prayers,
continually praying unto God the Father
in the name of his Holy Child, Jesus, that he,
through his infinite goodness and grace,
will keep you through the endurance of
faith on his name to the end.
Called of Jesus Christ
I rejoice exceedingly that
your Lord Jesus Christ
hath been mindful of you,
and hath called you to his ministry,
and to his holy work.
True followers of Jesus Christ
Pray unto the Father
with all the energy of heart,
that ye may be filled with this love,
which he hath bestowed upon
all who are true followers
of his Son, Jesus Christ;
that ye may become the sons of God;
that when he shall appear
we shall be like him,
for we shall see him as he is;
that we may have this hope;
that we may be purified
even as he is pure.
The pure love of Christ
If a man be meek and lowly in heart,
and confesses by the power of the Holy Ghost
that Jesus is the Christ,
he must needs have charity;
for if he have not charity he is nothing.
But charity is the pure love of Christ,
and it endureth forever.
Our hope in Jesus Christ
Ye shall have hope
through the atonement of Christ
and the power of his resurrection,
to be raised unto life eternal,
and this because of your faith in him
according to the promise.
Followers of Christ
I judge that ye have faith in Christ
because of your meekness;
for if ye have not faith in him
then ye are not fit
to be numbered among
the people of his church.
Saved in Christ's name
No man can be saved,
according to the words of Christ,
save they shall have faith in his name.
Have faith in Jesus Christ
Bearing testimony of Christ
By declaring the word of Christ
unto the chosen vessels of the Lord,
that they may bear testimony of him,
the Lord God prepareth the way
that men may have faith in Christ,
that the Holy Ghost may
have place in their hearts,
according to the power thereof.
Jesus Christ: A God of miracles
As surely as Christ liveth
he spake these words
unto our fathers, saying:
Whatsoever thing
ye shall ask the Father
in my name, which is good,
in faith believing that ye shall receive,
behold, it shall be done unto you.
Wherefore, have miracles ceased
because Christ hath ascended into heaven,
and hath sat down on the right hand of God,
to claim of the Father his rights of mercy
which he hath upon the children of men?
For he hath answered the ends of the law,
and he claimeth all those who have faith in him;
and they who have faith in him
will cleave unto every good thing;
wherefore he advocateth
the cause of the children of men;
and he dwelleth eternally in the heavens.
Becoming a child of Christ
Ye should search diligently
in the light of Christ
that ye may know good from evil;
and if ye will lay hold
upon every good thing,
and condemn it not,
ye certainly will be
a child of Christ.
In the light of Christ
The Spirit of Christ is given to every man,
that he may know good from evil;
wherefore, I show unto you the way to judge;
for every thing which inviteth to do good,
and to persuade to believe in Christ,
is sent forth by the power and gift of Christ;
wherefore ye may know
with a perfect knowledge it is of God.
But whatsoever thing
persuadeth men to do evil,
and believe not in Christ,
and deny him, and serve not God,
then ye may know with a perfect knowledge
it is of the devil.
And now, seeing that ye know
the light by which ye may judge,
which light is the light of Christ,
see that ye do not judge wrongfully;
for with that same judgment
which ye judge ye shall also be judged.
