D&C 63
It seems everyone wants a sign or evidence of the eternal nature of things of which the Lord said -
"...I say unto you, there are those among you who seek signs, and there have been such even from the beginning..." (Doctrine and Covenants Section 63:8)
The Lord explained that -
"...faith cometh not by signs, but signs follow those that believe." (Doctrine and Covenants Section 63:9)
The wicked need to be warned -
"...he that seeketh signs shall see signs, but not unto salvation." (Doctrine and Covenants Section 63:7)
"...verily I say, let the wicked take heed, and let the rebellious fear and tremble; and let the unbelieving hold their lips, for the day of wrath shall come upon them as a whirlwind, and all flesh shall know that I am God." (Doctrine and Covenants Section 63:6)
He explained -
"...with whom God is angry he is not well pleased; wherefore, unto such he showeth no signs, only in wrath unto their condemnation." (Doctrine and Covenants Section 63:11)
The then taught the same great truth He taught to Paul -
"...signs come by faith, unto mighty works, for without faith no man pleaseth God..." (Doctrine and Covenants Section 63:11)
If we can only please God, we should be grateful for the privilege to exhibit faith before Him.
