JESUS CHRIST: THE MESSIAH

Jesus’ Atonement affects Eternity Past to Eternity Future

"One of the two which heard John speak, and followed him, was Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother. He first findeth his own brother Simon, and saith unto him, We have found the Messias, which is, being interpreted, the Christ."
--John 1:40-41

Andrew, Peter’s brother, locates Simon and testifies unto him, “We have found the Messias” (Messiah). Messiah interpreted means ‘the Christ.’ These men had a testimony of Jesus called the Messiah, that He was the Savior of the world. They learned that Jesus would suffer and provide the infinite atonement for all mankind. The Messiah’s atonement affects all people and all created things from eternity past to eternity future. There isn’t any person or thing that the atonement doesn’t influence. The atonement of the Messiah is real and powerful. We access the power of the atonement when we repent, live righteously, and strive to keep all God’s commandments. The motto, “Put God First” is a sure success formula in this lifetime and will assure happiness now and eternal joy forever in the mansions of heaven. Jesus Christ is the Messiah.

Jesus: Beside Him There is No Savior

DC 76:1

1 Hear, O ye heavens, and give ear, O earth, and rejoice ye inhabitants thereof, for the Lord is God, and beside him there is no Savior.

2 Great is his wisdom, marvelous are his ways, and the extent of his doings none can find out.

3 His purposes fail not, neither are there any who can stay his hand.

4 From eternity to eternity he is the same, and his years never fail.

5 For thus saith the Lord—I, the Lord, am merciful and gracious unto those who fear me, and delight to honor those who serve me in righteousness and in truth unto the end.

6 Great shall be their reward and eternal shall be their glory.

Jesus is the only Savior, for there is no other. He is the Only Begotten Son of God in the flesh. Through His atoning sacrifice, the shedding of His blood, and being resurrected, He became our only Savior and Redeemer. No one else could shed their own blood to atone for the sins of another; Jesus only could have done such because of His divine sonship with Elohim, Heavenly Father. From eternity to eternity His gospel does not change, for it is the same.

He will reward us with eternal glory, joy, happiness and peace if we but serve Him in righteousness until the end of our mortal lives.
