The Scriptures

The Scriptures Are available to us Today

What are some of blessings we enjoy today because the scriptures are so accessible?

When the servants of Lord speech or write under the influence of Holy Ghost, his words becomes scriptures (see D&C 68:4). Since the beginning the Lord ordered to His prophets who kept records of his revelations and of His interactions with His sons. He said: "For I command all men, both in the east and in the west, and in the north, and in the south, and in the islands of the sea, that they shall write the words which I speak unto them; for out of the books which shall be written I will judge the world, every man according to their works, according to that which is written" (2 Nephi 29:11).

The Church of Jesus Christ Of Latter-day Saints accept four books as scripture: The Holy Bible, The Book Of Mormon, Doctrine and Covenants and Pearl of Great Price. These books are called of standard-works of Church. The words inspired of prophets living are accepted like scriptures also.

The Holy Bible

The Holy Bible is a collection of holy writings containing God revelations to the men. These writings cover many centuries, since the time of Adam until the time when the Apostles of Jesus Christ lived. These revalations was written by many prophets that lived in differents seasons of history of world.

The Holy Bible is divided into its sections: The Old and New Testaments. Many prophecies in the Old Testament foretell the coming of a Savior and Redeemer. The New Testament speak about the life of this Savior and Redeemer, Jesus Christ.

It also narrates the establishment of His Church in those days "We believe the Bible to be the descriptive word of God, since it is translated correctly" (Articles of Faith 1:8).

Through Joseph Smith, the Lord, expanded our understanding of some passages of the Bible that had been lost or changed after the original words were written. These corrections inspired, are called of Translating of Joseph Smith of Bible. Some selected passages of Translating of Joseph Smith of Bible can be found in the Guide to Study of Scriptures.

The Book Of Mormon

The Book Of Mormon is a holy record of some people that lived in the american continents between nearly 2000 B.C and 400 A.C. They have the fulness of gospel of Jesus Christ (see D&C 20:9; 42:12; 135:3). The Book of Mormon speech about the visit of Jesus Christ to peoples of America after His Ressurrection.

The Plan of Lord to Us

Why we need come to earth?

When we lived as spirit son with our Heavenly Fathers, the Heavenly Father told us of Your plan to make us more like Him. We were elated when we learned of this plan (see Job 38:7). We were anxious for new experiences. In order that these things happen, was necessary that we leave the presence of the Father and might receive a mortal body. We needed another place, where we prepare ourselves to become like Him in our new home was called Earth.

Why do we think we are delighted to know the plan of salvation?

The Freewill is an eternal principle

If someone you ask him: "Why have freewill is important?" What you say?
