JESUS CHRIST: CHIEF CORNERSTONE

The Foundation of The Church of Jesus Christ

9 Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellow citizens with the saints, and of the household of God;

20 And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone.

--Ephesians 2:19-20

The Church of Jesus Christ in New Testament was built upon the foundation of Apostles and Prophets. If a church didn’t have this foundation, then the church was not the true church of Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ is the chief cornerstone of the church. He is the one upon which the entire structure depends for its solid construction and edifice. The teachings and doctrines of Christ and those taught by Christ are paramount  to the establishment of the true church of Jesus Christ. Many churches exist, but they are not built upon Apostles and Prophets, but they are built upon the foundation of the philosophies of man, the teachings and ideas of man. Plus, they found churches for personal gain rather than for the salvation of one’s soul. Only through the name of Jesus Christ and the teachings of His true church can a person gain salvation and eventually exaltation in the hereafter.

JESUS CHRIST: LOOSING THE BANDS OF DEATH

Remission-Redemption-Resurrection

Therefore the wicked remain as though there had been no redemption made, except it be the loosing of the bands of death; for behold, the day cometh that all shall rise from the dead and stand before God, and be judged according to their works.

And he shall come into the world to redeem his people; and he shall take upon him the transgressions of those who believe on his name; and these are they that shall have

eternal life, and salvation cometh to none else.

--Book of Mormon Alma 11:40-41

Elder Richard G. Scott said, "Through the Atonement of Jesus Christ, each of us can become clean and the burden of our rebellion will be lifted. Look here how to receive personal strength through the Atonement of Jesus Christ as delivered by Elder Scott, Apostle of the Lord Jesus Christ.

Jesus came into the world to remit our sins and redeem the people.  By so doing, He took upon himself the sins and transgressions of the people that believed in Him. Believers repented and received a forgiveness of their wrongs and opened the gate for them to gain eternal life if they endure; however, the wicked will be resurrected, but will not be redeemed unless they do repent. God knows all things. We will all be judged on Judgment Day and all truth will surface at that time. Those who live in secret and think they are getting away with it will be surprised when they stand before their Maker. Here is the time of reckoning and they will be accountable for every action here in mortality. It will be a rude awakening for lots of people because satan deceives them into thinking they can sin, hurt others, be dishonest and never get caught. God will not be mocked; therefore, their time will come.

Jesus made the resurrection possible. He is the Redeemer and purifier of souls. He is the center of all true religion. The Atonement of Jesus Christ is supreme to all other events and doctrines. The Atonement does for us what we cannot do for ourselves. We stand all amazed at the Atonement of Jesus Christ, His infinite and eternal sacrifice.

Elder Holland, one of the living 12 Apostles
