_The Son of God_--Our faith is concentrated in the Son of God,
and through him in the Father; and the Holy Ghost is their minister to
bring truths to our remembrance, to reveal new truths to us, and teach,
guide, and direct the course of every mind, until we become perfected
and prepared to go home, where we can see and converse with our Father
in Heaven. 6:98.
The Latter-day Saints believe in Jesus Christ, the only begotten
Son of the Father, who came in the meridian of time, performed his
work, suffered the penalty and paid the debt of man's original sin by
offering up himself, was resurrected from the dead, and ascended to
his Father; and as Jesus descended below all things, so he will ascend
above all things. We believe that Jesus Christ will come again, as
it is written of him: "And while they looked {40} steadfastly toward
heaven as he went up, behold two men stood by them in white apparel;
which also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven?
this same Jesus which is taken from you into heaven, shall so come in
like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven." 11:123.
Jesus is our captain and leader; Jesus, the Savior of the world--the
Christ that we believe in. 14:118.
I testify that Jesus is the Christ, the Savior and Redeemer of the
world; I have obeyed his sayings, and realized his promise, and the
knowledge I have of him, the wisdom of this world cannot give, neither
can it take away. 18:233.
My faith is placed upon the Lord Jesus Christ, and my knowledge I have
received from him. 3:155.
Our Lord Jesus Christ--the Savior, who has redeemed the world and all
things pertaining to it, is the Only Begotten of the Father pertaining
to the flesh. He is our Elder Brother, and the Heir of the family, and
as such we worship him. He has tasted death for every man, and has paid
the debt contracted by our first parents. 12:69.
None of them have power to produce themselves. Jesus Christ is the Heir
of this vast family. He said that he had power to lay down his life
and take it up again; but he had no more power to produce his life,
in the beginning of his existence, than we have. Every human being is
endowed, more or less, with eternal intelligence, with the germ of life
everlasting, of glory immortal. 8:153.
He did nothing of himself. He wrought miracles and performed a good
work on the earth; but of himself he did nothing. He said, "As I have
seen my Father do, so do I." "I came not to do my will, but the will of
him that sent me." We must come to the conclusion that the Son of {41}
God did not suggest, dictate, act, or produce any manifestation of his
power, of his glory, or of his errand upon the earth, only as it came
from the mind and will of his Father. 6:96.
