[An account] "Written and sealed up and hid up unto the Lord that they might not be destroyed.."
"...which is to show unto the remnant of the house of
Israel what great things the Lord hath done for their fathers; and that
they may know the covenants of the Lord, that they are not cast off for
ever; and also to the convincing of the Jew and Gentile that Jesus is
the Christ, the Eternal God, manifesting himself unto all nations."
Foreword to the Book of Mormon
"And when ye
shall receive these things, I would exhort you that ye would ask God,
the eternal Father, in the name of Christ, if these things are not
true; And if ye shall ask with a sincere heart, with real intent,
having faith in Christ, he will manifest the truth of it unto you, by
the power of the Holy Ghost; and by the power of the Holy Ghost, ye may
know the truth of all things. And whatsoever thing is good, is just and
true; wherefore, nothing that is good denieth the Christ, but
acknowledgeth that he is. And ye may know that he is, by the power of
the Holy Ghost; wherefore I would exhort you, that ye deny not the
power of God; for he worketh by power, according to the faith of the
children of men, the same today and tomorrow, and for ever"
