Scripture Blog

This weblog is my personal online scripture journal. I try to read the scriptures each morning as I exercise on my cross-trainer. It has a great impact on my life and my testimony of the Savior and his restored church. The journal is really for my own benefit but I have set it up as a web log in hopes to benefit anyone else that may be interested. "For he that diligently seeketh shall find; and the mysteries of God shall be unfolded unto them, by the power of the Holy Ghost..." 1 Nephi 10:19

Moses 6

Upon teaching the people concerning the fall of Adam, Enoch then taught them the plan of salvation saying -

"...God hath made known unto our fathers that all men must repent."  (Pearl of Great Price | Moses 6:50)

And upon repentance -

"...If thou wilt turn unto me, and hearken unto my voice, and believe, and repent of all thy transgressions, and be baptized, even in water, in the name of mine Only Begotten Son, who is full of grace and truth, which is Jesus Christ, the only name which shall be given under heaven, whereby salvation shall come unto the children of men, ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost, asking all things in his name, and whatsoever ye shall ask, it shall be given you."  (Pearl of Great Price | Moses 6:52)

And it is with the Light of Christ and the Gift of the Holy Ghost -

"Therefore it is given to abide in you; the record of heaven; the Comforter; the peaceable things of immortal glory; the truth of all things; that which quickeneth all things, which maketh alive all things; that which knoweth all things, and hath all power according to wisdom, mercy, truth, justice, and judgment."  (Pearl of Great Price | Moses 6:61)

For -

"...all things have their likeness, and all things are created and made to bear record of me, both things which are temporal, and things which are spiritual; things which are in the heavens above, and things which are on the earth, and things which are in the earth, and things which are under the earth, both above and beneath: all things bear record of me."  (Pearl of Great Price | Moses 6:63)

In summary of the plan of salvation, Enoch taught -

"That by reason of transgression cometh the fall, which fall bringeth death, and inasmuch as ye were born into the world by water, and blood, and the spirit, which I have made, and so became of dust a living soul, even so ye must be born again into the kingdom of heaven, of water, and of the Spirit, and be cleansed by blood, even the blood of mine Only Begotten; that ye might be sanctified from all sin, and enjoy the words of eternal life in this world, and eternal life in the world to come, even immortal glory;
60 For by the water ye keep the commandment; by the Spirit ye are justified, and by the blood ye are sanctified..."  (Pearl of Great Price | Moses 6:59 - 60)

For -

"...This is the plan of salvation unto all men, through the blood of mine Only Begotten..."  (Pearl of Great Price | Moses 6:62)

As we strive to do these things an endure to the end, this is the very doctrine of Christ.  And as we follow His doctrine -

"...thou art one in me, a son of God..."  (Pearl of Great Price | Moses 6:68)
