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

John 1

 John taught - 

"But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name..."  (John 1:12)

Though it reads much the same, Joseph Smith corrected - 

12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God; only to them who believe on his name.  (JST John 1:12)

To me, the doctrine "gave he power to become the sons of God" or to Himself is important.  It is by His power that we may become like Him.
