The Restoration of the Gospel of Jesus Christ • Jesus Christ taught His gospel • Whenever people disregard or distort true doctrines, God withdraws His authority • Over the centuries the truths that Christ taught were lost from the earth • God has restored His truth again to the earth with all the powers, priesthoods, and blessings of His former Church
Evidence of the Restoration • After Moses saw Jehovah he said, “But, behold, they will not believe me, nor hearken unto my voice: for the will say, the Lord hath not appeared unto thee” • God turned his rod into a serpent and said, “That they may believe that the Lord God of their fathers,… hath appeared unto thee” • Exodus 4: 1,5 KJV
By the Power of the Holy Ghost • By their fruits ye shall know them -Matthew 7:20 • No man can say that Jesus is the Lord, but by the Holy Ghost – 1 Corinthians 12:3 • When he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth – John 16:13 • The things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God. – 1 Corinthians 2:11
A Book with a Promise • And 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. And by the power of the Holy Ghost, ye may know the truth of all things. – Moroni 10:4-5
Gods words never cease • And I do this that I may prove unto many that I am the same yesterday, today, and forever; and that I speak my words according to mine own pleasure. And because that I have spoken one word ye need not suppose that I cannot speak another; for my work is not finished; neither shall it be until the end of man, neither from that time hence forth and forever. Wherefore, because that ye have a bible ye need not suppose that it contains all my words; neither need ye suppose that I have not caused more to be written – 2 Nephi 29:9-10
