LESSON REVIEW: Joseph Fielding Smith #9/ #10 – “Witnesses of the Book of Mormon” and “Our Search for Truth”
Doctrine:
"It is a requirement that is made of us, as members of this Church, to make ourselves familiar with that which the Lord has revealed, that we may not be led astray."
"We may know gospel truth by study, faith, and obedience and through the guidance of the Holy Ghost."
Invitation to Action:
"How are we going to walk in the truth if we do not know it?"
Promised Blessings:
"And whoso treasureth up my word, shall not be deceived." Matthew 1:37
"As we put our lives in harmony with the truth, the Lord increases our light and understanding."
"The promise has been made to all those who will receive the light of truth and through their research and obedience endeavor to acquaint themselves with the Gospel, that they shall receive line upon line, precept by precept, here a little and there a little, until the fulness of truth shall be their portion; even the hidden mysteries of the kingdom shall be made known unto them; "for every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened." All these are heirs of salvation and they shall be crowned with glory, immortality, and eternal life, as sons and daughters of God, with an exaltation in His celestial kingdom."
