SCRIPTURE OF THE DAY Doctrine and Covenants 128:15 |
|
And now, my dearly beloved brethren and sisters, let me assure you that these are principles in relation to the dead and the living that cannot be lightly passed over, as pertaining to our salvation. For their salvation is necessary and essential to our salvation, as Paul says concerning the fathers—that they without us cannot be made perfect—neither can we without our dead be made perfect. |

QUOTE OF THE DAY David O. McKay |
|
“In this principle of salvation for the dead, is revealed the comprehensiveness of the saving power of the Gospel, and the applicability to all mankind of the Savior’s teachings. Truly, ‘There is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.’ [Acts 4:12.] All ordinances performed by the Priesthood of the Most High are as eternal as love, as comprehensive and enduring as life, and through obedience to them, all mankind, living and dead, may enter into and abide eternally in the kingdom of God” (Teachings of Presidents of the Church: David O. McKay, p. 130).

TODAY IN CHURCH HISTORY February 16, 2021 |
|
1832 - Joseph Smith and his family were living in the home of John and Elsa Johnson in Hiram, Ohio. While working on the inspired translation the Gospel of John, particularly John 5:20-40, the Prophet Joseph Smith and Sidney Rigdon receive a vision that comprises Doctrine and Covenants 76. There may have been as many as 12 men in that room with them who saw the glory but not the Vision. In the vision, they see the Savior on the right hand of God, events in the premortal life, and the three degrees of glory. (History of the Church, 1:245-252).
