Isaiah 63:1-3; “Who is this that cometh from Edom, with dyed garments from Bozrah? this that is glorious in his apparel, travelling in the greatness of his strength? I that speak in righteousness, mighty to save. 2 Wherefore art thou red in thine apparel, and thy garments like him that treadeth in the winefat? 3 I have trodden the winepress alone; and of the people there was none with me: for I will tread them in mine anger, and trample them in my fury; and their blood shall be sprinkled upon my garments, and I will stain all my raiment.”
Revelation 19:13; “And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God.”

Isaiah prophesied that Jesus is the victor through God’s grace. Just as He helped Jacob to overcome Esau in Edom He provides ready help for us in our time! Jesus’ blood is what will be the focus at the end just as it should be for us today. Share with a Mormon that it isn’t through their works but what has already been foretold and accomplished.

“Quench Not the Spirit Which Quickens the Inner Man,” Ensign, Nov. 2007, 38; “Do you wish to know the price to be paid for the privileges that are offered after we have received the Holy Ghost? The price is not a predetermined or fixed amount; rather, it is determined by each of us individually.
“If you set your payment, which is your personal effort, very low, you may not be able to avail yourself of all the Spirit has to offer. You may even quench the Spirit! However, if you set your personal contribution high, you will reap an abundant harvest from the Spirit. The payment I reference is, of course, not money; rather, it is a greater commitment to and involvement in personal spiritual endeavors and behaviors.”
