Testimonies of The Book of Mormon

The Testimony of Three Witnesses

Be it known unto all nations, kindreds, tongues, and people, unto whom this work shall come: That we, through the grace of God the Father, and our Lord Jesus Christ, have seen the plates which contain this record, which is a record of the people of Nephi, and also of the Lamanites, their brethren, and also of the people of Jared, who came from the tower of which hath been spoken. And we also know that they have been translated by the gift and power of God, for his voice hath declared it unto us; wherefore we know of a surety that the work is true. And we also testify that we have seen the engravings which are upon the plates; and they have been shown unto us by the power of God, and not of man. And we declare with words of soberness, that an angel of God came down from heaven, and he brought and laid before our eyes, that we beheld and saw the plates, and the engravings thereon; and we know that it is by the grace of God the Father, and our Lord Jesus Christ, that we beheld and bear record that these things are true. And it is marvelous in our eyes. Nevertheless, the voice of the Lord commanded us that we should bear record of it; wherefore, to be obedient unto the commandments of God, we bear testimony of these things. And we know that if we are faithful in Christ, we shall rid our garments of the blood of all men, and be found spotless before the judgment-seat of Christ, and shall dwell with him eternally in the heavens. And the honor be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost, which is one God. Amen.

The Fullness of the Gospel of Jesus Christ Has Been Restored

The fullness of the gospel of Jesus Christ is on the earth.  The exact same church that Christ set up while He was on the earth is here.  It is the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.  Jesus Christ stands at the head of the church.  He leads and directs the church through a true and living prophet today.  I know that this is true.  My invitation to you is to consider the evidence and pray and ask God yourself if this is true.

Restoration of the Gospel of Jesus Christ

Throughout history God has called prophets.  There has also been many instances of apostasy.  Apostasy is when people choose to reject the prophets and their teaching.  When people chose to reject the prophets, God would withdraw His priesthood authority from the earth.  When the time was right, God would call another prophet to restore His gospel anew.  God even sent His Son, Jesus Christ.  Incredibly, people even rejected and crucified Him.  With the death of Christ and the rejection of His Apostles, the world fell into a dark night of apostasy.


God loves us so much that when the time was right, He again reached out to His children in love. After the long night of darkness and apostasy, God called another prophet to restore His gospel anew! This prophet is Joseph Smith!

"The Gospel is Simply Beautiful and Beautifully Simple."

I love the teachings of the gospel.  I know what I need to do to be happy.  As my mission president puts it, "the gospel is simply beautiful and beautifully simple."  We either follow Christ and are happy, or we don't and are not happy.  It is simple.  When we do make mistakes, we humbly turn to Chrisrt and use His sacrifice and repent.  It is our choice, we don't have to yeild to sin and evil.  God is our loving Heavenly Father; He will never turn His back on us.

The Book of Mormon

I have a testimony of the Book of Mormon!  I have read it, and I have felt the Spirit testify to me.  I know that it is God's word.  It contains the fullness of the everlasting gospel.  I know that by the gift and power of God, Joseph Smith translated the Book of Mormon.  It is another testament of Jesus Christ.  The only way to know if it is true is to read it and pray about it.  If you want to know if it is true, find out yourself!  

The Message of the Book of Mormon

As I was listening to a talk given by Jeffery R. Holland, something great was brought to my attention.  He said something to the effect that, the message of the Book of Mormon is that Christ does not fail us.  He taught that this is the truth that is talked about clear throughout the Book of Mormon.  This is the message of the gospel of Jesus Christ, this is the message of the Book of Mormon.
