Jesus Christ: The Only Begotten and Savior


Moses 1:6
And I have a work for thee, Moses, my son; and thou art in the similitude of mine Only Begotten; and mine Only Begotten is and shall be the Savior, for he is full of grace and truth; but there is no God beside me, and all things are present with me, for I know them all.
Jesus, the Only Begotten of the Father, is the Savior of the world who is full of divine assistance (grace) and truth (knowledge of things past, present, and future). He sees all things for all things are present before Him. He sees the beginning to the end, for there isn’t anything save He knows it.
We are created in the image of God and can become like Him through our thoughts, desires, works, and His grace. “For we labor diligently to write, to persuade our children, and also our brethren, to believe in Christ, and to be reconciled to God; for we know that it is by grace that we are saved, after all we can do” (See 2 Nephi 26:23). Grace is divine help from deity, His free gift and favor to us.
