I will now say to my friends,--and I call you all, and all mankind,
friends, until you have proved yourselves, enemies,--you who do
not belong to this Church, that we have got the Gospel of life and
salvation. I do not say that we have a Gospel, but I say that we have
the definite and only Gospel that ever was or ever will be that will
save the children of men. 12:313.
_It Takes the Whole Man to Make a Saint_--There are no exceptions
in "Mormonism." Learn so to think and direct your acts in every
transaction of life, that we may overcome the evil that is sown within
us. Overcome the inward enemy; then we can overcome the Devil's
kingdom. And while others choose evil principles and build upon a
foundation which leads to destruction, let us build upon the principles
of eternal salvation, as we have striven to do all the day long. 7:66.
The doctrines of salvation are the same now as they {9} were in the
days of Adam, or Elijah, or Jesus, when he was upon the earth. 5:229.
We have brought the doctrine of life and salvation to you, that you may
exchange your low, narrow, contracted, selfish dispositions for the
ennobling Spirit of the Lord, for the Spirit of the Gospel, which gives
joy and peace. If you enjoy that, your food will be sweet to you, your
sleep will be refreshing, and your days will pass away in usefulness.
3:119.
We have as good a right to adopt tenets in our religion as the Church
of England, or the Methodists, or Baptists, or any other denomination
have in theirs. Our doctrine is a Bible doctrine, a patriarchal
doctrine, and is the doctrine of the gods of eternity, and of the
heavens, and was revealed to our fathers on the earth, and will save
the world at last. 2:187.
The revelations of the Lord Jesus Christ are sweeter than honey or the
honeycomb. We can eat, and continue to eat; drink, and continue to
drink. Is there durable satisfaction? Yes. I am in the height of my
enjoyment. All the pleasure and all the joy that can be bestowed upon
a finite being is in the Gospel of salvation, through the Spirit of
revelation, upon the creature--upon the Saint of God--old or young,
male or female. Not that this comparison fully conveys the idea; for
the language of mortals fails to fully portray the joys of the Gospel
of life everlasting. 8:139.
We have the Gospel of life and salvation, to make bad men good and good
men better. We are to preach, exhort expound, continue in our duty,
be fervent in spirit, bearing and forbearing with our brethren, being
filled with love and kindness. 8:130. {10}
There is no freedom anywhere outside the Gospel of salvation. 5:52.
_Offers Salvation to All_--A few here and a few there will receive
the truth, and the Lord will empty the earth of the wickedness that now
dwells upon it. 8:195.
