Scriptures: Our Letters From Home


 

I'm grateful for scriptures, words from the prophets, the word of the Lord, our "letters from home."  We have the Old Testament and the New Testament (also translated as covenant).  We also have the new covenant, or another testament of Jesus Christ, The Book of Mormon.  The Book of Mormon is the most correct of any book on earth and teaches that Jesus is the Christ. 

Today I have again listened to these words from a latter day prophet spoken more than 30 years ago: 

"My beloved brethren and sisters, today I would like to speak about one of the most significant gifts given to the world in modern times.  The gift I am thinking of is  more important than any of the inventions that have come out of the industrial and technological revolutions.  This is a gift of greater value to mankind than even the many wonderful advances we have seen in modern medicine.  It is of greater worth to mankind than the development of flight or space travel.  I speak of the gift of the Book of Mormon."

"Every Latter-Day Saint should make the study of this book a lifetime pursuit.   Otherwise he is placing his soul in jeopardy and neglecting that which could give spiritual and intellectual unity to his whole life . . . Let us not remain under condemnation, with its scourge and judgment, by treating lightly this great and marvelous gift the Lord has given to us.  Rather, let us win the promises associated with treasuring it up in our hearts."

Here is the link to this talk:
