Book of Mormon Student Manual, p. 19 “President Joseph F. Smith (1838–1918) taught that a person who keeps the commandments will be 
sustained and prospered by the Lord: “The man who stays with the kingdom of God, the man who is true to this people, the man who keeps himself pure and unspotted from the world, is the man that God will accept … it makes no difference where he is, he will come out all right” (Gospel Doctrine, 5th ed. [1939], 257).” [emp. added]
Galatians 2:20-21 “I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me. 21 I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain.”
1 Corinthians 15:1-4 “Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; 2 By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. 3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; 4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures”.
Christians the world over have one thing they fix their minds upon and that is Christ Jesus and Him crucified. The longing of a Christian’s heart is to know Him more and the only way to do this is through study.
There’s nothing in the Bible telling us we must be true to an organization. In fact, Jesus Himself told us He is the way, the truth, and the life – John 14:6.
If Jesus isn’t first and last with nothing in between we have nothing beloved. Share this all-important truth with a Mormon you know by giving examples of what He’s done for you personally!
