The Riddle Family is in Utah and the west because of the Gospel and the Church of Jesus Christ. What are they?
The Restored Gospel of Jesus Christ is a simple message. It is:
- If you will put you whole trust in Jesus Christ
repent of every sin
covenant to obey Christ in baptism
receive the Holy Ghost by the laying on of hands, and
endure to the end? - Then you will be prospered in a richness of
spiritual gifts
power in the priesthood
strength in the family, and
success in subduing the earth, - so much that you will be totally satisfied with your life
and accomplishments.
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is the Savior’s instrument for delivering the opportunity to know the Gospel of Jesus Christ and to partake of the ordinances of salvation to every person on the earth. It is the mission of the Church to:
- Perfect the Saints (encourage them until they live the Gospel).
- Preach the Gospel to every person on earth.
- Assist families to help their kindred dead.
If you and I would turn to the Savior and love Him with all of our heart, might, mind and strength, then learn to love our neighbors as the Savior teaches us how to do so (He teaches us through our prophets and through our conscience, which is the Holy Ghost), there is no earthly problem we could not solve. The Savior’s way of righteousness is the way of happiness, of power, of salvation.
May I encourage you to claim the blessings of the Restored Gospel through increasing your faith in and love for Jesus Christ. I bear my witness to you that the Savior’s love is the most wonderful, most satisfying, most encouraging thing on this earth, and that the only intelligent way to act for any of us is to return His love by faithfully keeping His commandments and supporting His kingdom.
