The Prophet Joseph Smith once declared that all things “which pertain to our religion are only appendages” to the Atonement of Jesus Christ.1 In like manner and for the same reasons, every truth that a missionary or member teaches is only an appendage to the central message of all time—that Jesus is the Christ, the Only Begotten Son of God, the Holy Messiah, the Promised One, the Savior and Redeemer of the world; that He alone burst the bands of death and triumphed over the captivity of hell; that no one of us could ever have those same blessings without His intervention in our behalf; and that there never shall be any “other name given nor any other way nor means whereby salvation can come unto the children of men, [except] in and through the name of Christ, the Lord Omnipotent.”2.

We know you’re young, but we don’t apologize for that. “Wherefore, he is the firstfruits unto God, inasmuch as he shall make intercession for all the children of men; and they that believe in him shall be saved.”15, Obviously, you recognize that these samples are testimonies from just the first pages of the Book of Mormon. What a privilege to be here. If He could come forward in the night, kneel down, fall on His face, bleed from every pore, and cry, “Abba, Father (Papa), if this cup can pass, let it pass,”16 then little wonder that salvation is not a whimsical or easy thing for us. Little wonder, then, that the Apostle Paul, the greatest missionary the world has ever known (or at least one of them), said: “The preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God. It is not generally contested that Joseph Smith dictated to his various scribes the text of the original manuscript of the Book of Mormon. A convert’s new life is to be built upon faith in the Lord Jesus Christ and His redeeming sacrifice—a conviction that He really is the Son of God, that He lives this very moment, that He really is the door of the sheepfold, that He alone holds the key to our salvation and exaltation.

PROVO, Utah — At the Seminar for New Mission Presidents held at the Provo Missionary Training Center in 2000, Elder Jeffrey R. Holland of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles delivered an oft-cited address titled “ Missionary Work and the Atonement.” There might have been a more exciting time to be a missionary in the Church, “but I do not know when that would be,” Elder Jeffrey R. Holland declared to the missionaries at the Provo Missionary Training Center in a devotional address January 15. Wherefore, if ye shall press forward, feasting upon the word of Christ, and endure to the end, behold, thus saith the Father: Ye shall have eternal life.

There is no excuse in time or eternity for you not to have that one precious conversion.”. I say that in a very biased way, because it was on my own mission that I came to love the Book of Mormon and the majesty of the Son of God which is revealed there. And I have to say that almost never do the missionaries get around to identifying the two most fundamental things we want investigators to do prior to baptism: have faith in the Lord Jesus Christ and repent of their sins. The idea behind the current missionary guide, Preach My Gospel, is “to convert you, then help you to convert the [individual] investigators,” he said. Be a Good Example and Always Share the Gospel: It’s one thing to tell others about the gospel, but it’s another to show others the gospel. “For behold, the time cometh, and is not far distant, that with power, the Lord Omnipotent … shall come down from heaven among the children of men, and shall dwell in a tabernacle of clay, and shall go forth amongst men, working mighty miracles, such as healing the sick, raising the dead, causing the lame to walk, the blind to receive their sight, and the deaf to hear, and curing all manner of diseases. 0.

Someone a lot greater and a lot grander asked a long time ago if there wasn’t an easier way. Elder Jeffrey R. Holland once said, “I am convinced that missionary work is not easy because salvation is not a cheap experience.” Missionary work is tough, but it is worth it. The Savior Himself taught about bearing witness before any other doctrine when He visited the Nephites: “After this manner shall ye baptize in my name; for behold, verily I say unto you, that the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Ghost are one. …, “And this is my doctrine, and it is the doctrine which the Father hath given unto me. ….

In an effort to keep our work closely linked to the Savior’s ministry, let me suggest some things all of us might do to keep Christ and His Atonement in the forefront of members’ and investigators’ consciousness. For example, in zone conferences, which are some of the greatest teaching moments we as General Authorities have with these young elders and sisters, I have asked missionaries what it is they want investigators to do as a result of their discussions with them. “Pay tithing!” another shouts. Only this testimony of the atoning Anointed, Victorious One will prevail against the gates of hell. Elder Holland gave the missionaries this formula by which they can know they are measuring up to the Lord’s expectations: “Seek to be personally converted, obey the rules of the mission, strive to have the Spirit of the Lord in your life, and work hard. Missionaries could read to these investigators the sacramental prayers as found in the scriptures, they could share some of the words of favorite sacrament hymns, or they could do any number of other things that would help these new visitors and prospective members have a powerful learning experience when they visit a sacrament meeting. Just tell us who you are … “Wherefore, how great the importance to make these things known unto the inhabitants of the earth, that they may know that there is no flesh that can dwell in the presence of God, save it be through the merits, and mercy, and grace of the Holy Messiah, who layeth down his life according to the flesh, and taketh it again by the power of the Spirit, that he may bring to pass the resurrection of the dead, being the first that should rise. Salvation never was easy. How could we believe it would be … A story of spiritual rescue that gained broad attention after it was shared with Mormon mission presidents last month is inaccurate and the LDS leader who presented it withdrew it on Monday. Introducing a major new doctrinal work written by Elder Jeffrey R. Holland who shares his apostolic witness of the central figure of the Book of Mormon — the Lord Jesus Christ. … That belief is to be followed by true repentance, repentance which shows our desire to be clean and renewed and whole, repentance that allows us to lay claim to the full blessings of the Atonement. See Teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith, sel. January 18, 2021. by. He said missionaries often ask him when that Second Coming of Christ will occur. Then comes baptism for the remission of sins.

This talk will give missionaries perspective on what conversion … “Wherefore, it must needs be an infinite atonement. …, “O how great the goodness of our God, who prepareth a way for our escape from the grasp of this awful monster; yea, that monster, death and hell, which I call the death of the body, and also the death of the spirit. …. When you know that … then you will know why you have to preach it His way.” For that reason, missionaries are counseled to be obedient to mission rules, he explained, adding that by so doing, they can teach with power and great authority because they will be endowed with the Spirit. There is not enough space here to convey the wonder and breadth of these Book of Mormon sermons, but consider this from Nephi early in his ministry: “And the world, because of their iniquity, shall judge him to be a thing of naught; wherefore they scourge him, and he suffereth it; and they smite him, and he suffereth it. A missionary’s testimony invokes a great legacy of testimony dating back to the councils in heaven before this world was. I have thought about this a great deal.

That is more likely to occur if this service is a spiritual, strong teaching moment in which it is clear to participants and visitors alike that this is a sacred act of faith centered on the Lord Jesus Christ, that it is an act of repentance claiming the cleansing power of Christ, that through His majesty and Atonement it brings a remission of sins as well as, with confirmation, membership in His Church.

Either way, the essential message of the gospel, the starting point for all other truths, is this from the Master’s own lips: “I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.”3 Thus the Atonement of Christ, which makes that return to the Father possible, is rightfully seen as the central fact, the crucial foundation, and the chief doctrine of the great and eternal plan of salvation—“our Heavenly Father’s plan,” which we are called to teach.
