SCRIPTURE OF THE DAY Mosiah 18:8-10 |
|
And it came to pass that he said unto them: Behold, here are the waters of Mormon (for thus were they called) and now, as ye are desirous to come into the fold of God, and to be called his people, and are willing to bear one another’s burdens, that they may be light; Yea, and are willing to mourn with those that mourn; yea, and comfort those that stand in need of comfort, and to stand as witnesses of God at all times and in all things, and in all places that ye may be in, even until death, that ye may be redeemed of God, and be numbered with those of the first resurrection, that ye may have eternal life— Now I say unto you, if this be the desire of your hearts, what have you against being baptized in the name of the Lord, as a witness before him that ye have entered into a covenant with him, that ye will serve him and keep his commandments, that he may pour out his Spirit more abundantly upon you?

QUOTE OF THE DAY Joseph F. Smith |
“Baptism for the remission of sin, by one having authority, is an eternal principle, for God devised it, and commanded it, and Christ himself was not above obeying it; he had to obey it in order to fulfil the law of righteousness”(Teachings of Presidents of the Church: Joseph F. Smith, p.60). |

Studies in the Book of Mormon: Chapter 47: Remembering Our Lord
The Nephite sacrament prayers Moroni records for the benefit of the Lamanites—which are identical to those the Church uses today (D&C 20:77, 79)—express the idea that God’s people who eat the bread and drink the wine do so “in remembrance” of the body and blood of Christ, in order that they may witness to God, the Eternal Father, that they are “willing to take upon them the name of thy Son, and always remember him, and keep his commandments which he hath given them, that they may always have his Spirit to be with them” (Moroni 4:3; 5:2).
