The fulfillment of this awesome promise can be found in the Christmas story! Matthew 1:21 “And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins.”
Matthew Henry phrased it well indeed by stating “…It is a great mercy to be delivered from our fears, and to have our doubts resolved…” So simple, so straightforward, yet it’s been so mistranslated and misapplied. Please, share this comforting truth with a Mormon you know, and make it personal! Tell them what knowing this truth has done in your own life!
The Church maligned our sweet Jesus in the most reprehensible way imaginable. Instead of leading its congregants to Him, they’ve led them away.
Mormons believe Jesus is one of billions of sexually begotten spirit children of God. To the Mormon he is literally their elder brother, as is Satan. They’ve condemned themselves with their blasphemy. If we’re all literally born sons and daughters of God before we came here, then Jesus is a product of incest. There are three main items in their doctrines about Jesus they espouse.

“But, if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost. In whom the god of this World hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ,who is the image of God, should shine unto them,” (2 Corinthians 4:3,4)
“But though we, or any angel (Moroni) from heaven, preach any other gospel to you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.” (Galatians 1: 8)
The Mormon church has been blinded to the truth in the Gospel of Christ because they have chosen t follow the words of a man rather than the Words of God.(Bible)
