You are surrounded by people. You pass them on the street, visit them in their homes, and travel among them. They are all children of God, your brothers and sisters. God loves them just as He loves you. Many of these people are searching for purpose in life. They are concerned for their future and their families. They need the sense of belonging that comes from the knowledge that they are children of God, members of His eternal family. They want to feel secure in a world of changing values. They want “peace in this world, and eternal life in the world to come” ( Doctrine and Covenants 59:23 ), but they are “kept from the truth because they know not where to find it” ( Doctrine and Covenants 123:12 ).
The gospel of Jesus Christ as restored by the Savior through the Prophet Joseph Smith will bless them and their families, meet their spiritual needs, and help them fulfill their deepest desires. Although they may not know why, they need relief from feelings of loneliness and guilt that come from sin. They need to experience the joy of redemption by receiving forgiveness of their sins and enjoying the gift of the Holy Ghost.
As an authorized representative of Jesus Christ, you can teach people with power and authority that “redemption cometh in and through the Holy Messiah,” and that no one “can dwell in the presence of God, save it be through the merits, and mercy, and grace of the Holy Messiah” ( 2 Nephi 2:6, 8 ). As people come to accept the restored gospel of Jesus Christ and receive the ordinances of baptism and confirmation by priesthood authority, they can be assured that they “are not cast off forever” (Book of Mormon, title page).
As your understanding of the Savior’s sacrifice, also known as the Atonement of Jesus Christ, grows, your desire to share the gospel will increase. You will feel, as Lehi did, the “great … importance to make these things known unto the inhabitants of the earth” ( 2 Nephi 2:8 ).
You are called to represent Jesus Christ in helping people become clean from their sins and find greater happiness and joy. You do this by inviting them to come unto Jesus Christ and become converted to His restored gospel. President Dallin H. Oaks taught: “We have also said much about the inspired summary of our work: ‘teach repentance and baptize converts.’ But converts to what? To Jesus Christ our Savior and our Redeemer, to His doctrine, to His restored gospel, to His authority, to His name. Conversion to the Lord Jesus Christ and His gospel should precede conversion to and membership in His Church. … Seek conversion to Jesus Christ and His gospel” (“Closing Remarks” [address given at the seminar for new mission presidents, June 28, 2017], 6, Church History Library, Salt Lake City).
To come to the Savior, people must have faith in Him unto repentance—making the necessary changes to bring their life into agreement with His teachings. You can help people develop such faith by teaching them the restored gospel by the Spirit and inviting them to commit to live according to its teachings. Keeping this commitment prepares them for the covenant of baptism and confirmation and the precious gift of the Holy Ghost. They are to put off the “natural man” and become a Saint “through the atonement of Christ the Lord” ( Mosiah 3:19 ).

Examine the picture of the tree of life on this page as you study the vision of the tree of life found in 1 Nephi 8 and 11 . In this vision, the tree of life symbolizes the love of God (see 1 Nephi 11:21–22 ).
What did Lehi desire after he had eaten the fruit? (See 1 Nephi 8:10–18 .)
In the vision, what did the people need to do to be able to partake of the fruit? What do we need to do to receive all the blessings of the Savior’s Atonement? In what ways do commitments and covenants help us partake of these blessings?
As a missionary, what is your duty in helping others find and partake of the fruits of the gospel?
The message of the Restoration of the gospel of Jesus Christ blesses individuals and families. Because of the Restoration we understand God’s purpose for His children: “The divine plan of happiness enables family relationships to be perpetuated beyond the grave. Sacred ordinances and covenants available in holy temples make it possible for individuals to return to the presence of God and for families to be united eternally” (“ The Family: A Proclamation to the World ,” Ensign or Liahona, May 2017, 145).
“The most important of the Lord’s work you will ever do will be within the walls of your own homes.”
Teachings of Presidents of the Church: Harold B. Lee, (2011), 134
On earth, family associations can be the source of some of our greatest joy. Satan is attacking the family on many fronts, and too many families are being destroyed by his efforts. The message of the restored gospel of Jesus Christ is that all individuals are part of God’s family and that families can be united now and in eternity. By living the principles of the gospel, families can experience peace, joy, and a sense of belonging and identity in this life. Through the light of the gospel, families can resolve misunderstandings, contentions, and challenges. Families torn by discord can be healed through repentance, forgiveness, and faith in the power of the Atonement of Jesus Christ. “Happiness in family life is most likely to be achieved when founded upon the teachings of the Lord Jesus Christ. Successful marriages and families are established and maintained on principles of faith, prayer, repentance, forgiveness, respect, love, compassion, work, and wholesome recreational activities” (“ The Family: A Proclamation to the World ,” 145).
Strive to find and teach families—a father, mother, and children—who can support one another in living the gospel and eventually be sealed as a family unit by restored priesthood authority.
Because the gospel of Jesus Christ is the “power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth” ( Romans 1:16 ), the message of the Restoration of the gospel must be taught by divine power—the power of the Holy Ghost, who is the third member of the Godhead. He is often called the Spirit, and one of His roles is to teach and testify of the truth. As you teach by that power, the Holy Ghost will:
Teach you new truths and bring the doctrine you have studied to your remembrance (see John 14:26 ).
Give you words to speak in the very moment you need them (see Doctrine and Covenants 84:85 ).
Carry your message to the hearts of the people you teach (see 2 Nephi 33:1 ).
Testify of the truthfulness of your message and confirm your words (see Doctrine and Covenants 100:5–8 ).
Help you discern the needs of the people you are teaching (see Alma 12:7 ).
The Spirit is essential for teaching the truths of the gospel in a way that builds faith in others. As you strive to develop the faith to rely on the Spirit, you should:
Pray for the Spirit (see Doctrine and Covenants 42:14 ).
Diligently treasure up God’s word (see Doctrine and Covenants 11:21 ; 84:85 ).
Teach so that others understand your message and are edified (see Doctrine and Covenants 50:13–22 ).
You have been set apart for your sacred calling with the promise that the Spirit will be given as you meet the requirements set by the Lord. Enjoying the gifts of the Spirit should be one of your most earnest desires.
Missionaries are to go “in the power of the ordination wherewith [they have] been ordained, proclaiming glad tidings of great joy, even the everlasting gospel” ( Doctrine and Covenants 79:1 ).
As a missionary, you have authority to preach the gospel. President Dallin H. Oaks has taught: “Whoever functions in an office or calling received from one who holds priesthood keys exercises priesthood authority in performing her or his assigned duties” (“ The Keys and Authority of the Priesthood ,” Ensign or Liahona, May 2014, 51). As you prayerfully and worthily exercise that authority, you will receive spiritual power, which is evidence of the reality of your call. Do not be afraid or shy about fulfilling this commission. Just as the sons of Mosiah, you are to teach with the power and authority of God (see Alma 17:2–3 ). If you hold the priesthood, you also have the authority to administer the ordinances thereof.
When you were set apart by priesthood authority, you received the right and privilege to represent the Lord. You received a ministerial certificate that verifies that authority to the world. President Spencer W. Kimball said: “The setting apart may be taken literally; it is a setting apart from sin, apart from the carnal; apart from everything which is crude, low, vicious, cheap, or vulgar; set apart from the world to a higher plane of thought and activity. The blessing is conditional upon faithful performance” ( The Teachings of Spencer W. Kimball, ed. Edward L. Kimball [1982], 478).
Along with your authority comes a responsibility to live worthy of your calling. As the Lord’s representative, you are to be “an example of the believers” ( 1 Timothy 4:12 ). Strive to live according to God’s commandments and keep the covenants you made in the temple; know the scriptures; be courteous, on time, and dependable; follow missionary standards of conduct, dress, and grooming; and love the people with whom you serve and work. Honor Christ’s name by your actions.
In addition to authority, you are also to exercise power in your work. The authority that you have received can lead to power. Indeed, spiritual power is one evidence that your authority is real. Spiritual power is a gift that makes it possible for you to do your work more effectively.
Your power and authority should be evident as you work and teach. Power may be manifest in many things you do, such as:
Being led by the Spirit to say what the Lord would have you say at just the right moment (see Doctrine and Covenants 84:85 ).
Receiving guidance about where to go or what to do (see Doctrine and Covenants 28:15 ; 31:11 ; 75:26–27 ).
Having your testimony confirmed by the witness of the Spirit (see 2 Nephi 33:1 ; Doctrine and Covenants 100:5–8 ).
Taking part in ordinances of salvation (see Doctrine and Covenants 84:19–20 ).
Giving priesthood blessings if you are an elder (see James 5:14–15 ).
Praying with and for the people you work with (see Alma 6:6 ; 8:18–22 ; 10:7–11 ; 31:26–35 ; Doctrine and Covenants 75:19 ).
Expressing love for the Lord, your family, fellow missionaries, and the people you serve.

Look at the painting of Christ ordaining the Apostles, and then read John 15:1–16 .
In what way is Christ the vine? How are you a branch of that vine? How does your setting apart relate to this relationship?
Read again your ministerial certificate. Record your feelings and thoughts about what you read. Each time you study this chapter, repeat this process. Note how your feelings change over time.
Study Doctrine and Covenants 109:13–15, 21–30, 38–39, 55–57 , which are excerpts from the Prophet Joseph Smith’s inspired dedicatory prayer for the Kirtland Temple. What blessings did Joseph Smith request for the faithful?
The gospel of Jesus Christ defines both your message and your purpose; that is, it provides both the “what” and the “why” of missionary work.
The Book of Mormon teaches plainly the gospel of Jesus Christ. According to the Book of Mormon the gospel of Jesus Christ includes (1) faith in the Lord Jesus Christ; (2) repentance through the Atonement of Christ; (3) baptism by immersion in Christ’s name; (4) the gift of the Holy Ghost; and (5) enduring to the end (see 2 Nephi 31 ; 3 Nephi 11 ; and 3 Nephi 27 ).
It also teaches us what we need to believe about Christ if we are to have faith in Him. For example, when He presented His gospel to the people in the New World, the Savior said: “I came into the world to do the will of my Father, because my Father sent me. And my Father sent me that I might be lifted up upon the cross; and after that I had been lifted up upon the cross, that I might draw all men unto me, that as I have been lifted up by men even so should men be lifted up by the Father, to stand before me, to be judged of their works, whether they be good or whether they be evil” ( 3 Nephi 27:13–14 ).
The Savior added, “Verily, verily, I say unto you, this is my gospel; and ye know the things that ye must do in my church; for the works which ye have seen me do that shall ye also do; for that which ye have seen me do even that shall ye do” ( 3 Nephi 27:21 ).
Additionally, the Book of Mormon provides insights to the kind of things we must do if we are to endure to the end, including the endowment and sealing ordinances of the temple, praying, fasting, studying the scriptures, following the example of the Savior, and obtaining Christlike attributes. In this context, the Book of Mormon teaches that we can become “saints through the atonement of Christ the Lord” ( Mosiah 3:19 ).
“Preach the first principles of the Gospel—preach them over again: you will find that day after day new ideas and additional light concerning them will be revealed to you. You can enlarge upon them so as to comprehend them clearly. You will then be able to make them more plainly understood by those [you] teach.”
History, 1838–1856, volume E-1 [1 July 1843–30 April 1844], 1994, Church History Library, Salt Lake City, Utah
A purpose of the gospel of Jesus Christ is to cleanse people of their sins so they can receive His mercy at the day of judgment. Therefore, the focus of this book and, more important, the work you do each day is to invite others to come unto Christ by helping them receive the restored gospel through faith in Jesus Christ and His Atonement, repentance, baptism, receiving the Holy Ghost, and enduring to the end.
Individuals and families begin to follow Christ as they exercise faith in Him and repent of their sins. That faith is developed as they follow the Savior’s example by humbling themselves, seeking God’s will, and obeying God’s commandments (see 2 Nephi 31:6–7 ; 3 Nephi 27:13–14 ). They receive a remission of sins through baptism and by receiving the gift of the Holy Ghost from one who has authority from God to perform these ordinances. They then endure to the end, or, in other words, they continue throughout their lives in exercising faith in Jesus Christ, repenting, and renewing the covenants they have made. These are not just steps that they experience once in their lives; rather, when repeated throughout life these principles become an increasingly rewarding pattern of living. In fact, it is the only way of living that will bring peace of conscience and enable Heavenly Father’s children to return to live in His presence.
Obedience to Jesus Christ is a lifelong commitment. Through exercising faith, repenting, being baptized and committing to serve Christ, and then receiving the Holy Ghost, we can experience healing, forgiveness of sins, and complete conversion to the Savior and His gospel.
The doctrine of Christ can change how people believe and how they live; it also directs how you work and focuses your efforts. Help people gain faith in Jesus Christ unto repentance by teaching and testifying that the fulness of the gospel of Jesus Christ and the authority of the priesthood have been restored and by inviting them to live by His teachings.
What are the doctrine and principles of the gospel of Christ as found in these verses?
No matter where you serve or whom you teach, center your teaching on the Restoration of the gospel of Jesus Christ. “The Lord will bless you as you teach the message of the Restoration to a world that desperately needs the gospel of Jesus Christ” (“Statement on Missionary Work,” First Presidency letter, Dec. 11, 2002). As you study the doctrine in the missionary lessons, you will come to see that we have one message: Through a modern prophet, God has restored knowledge about the plan of salvation, which is centered on the Atonement of Jesus Christ and is fulfilled by living the principles and ordinances of the gospel.
Make sure that everyone you teach clearly understands the following:
God is our literal Father in Heaven. He loves us. Every person on earth is a child of God and a member of God’s family. Jesus Christ, the Son of God, is our Savior and Redeemer.
Our loving Father in Heaven reached out to His children throughout biblical history by revealing His gospel to prophets. Sadly, many people rejected that gospel; even some of those who accepted it changed the doctrine and ordinances and fell into unbelief and apostasy.
Our Father in Heaven sent His Beloved Son, Jesus Christ, to earth. The Savior performed miracles and taught His gospel. He accomplished the Atonement and was resurrected.
Beginning with the First Vision, God has again reached out in love to His children. He restored the gospel of Jesus Christ and His priesthood authority and organized His Church on the earth through the Prophet Joseph Smith.
Because of the Savior’s Resurrection, all people will be resurrected and saved, or gain salvation, from physical death. This is an unconditional gift.
People may also be saved, or gain salvation, from individual spiritual death through the Atonement of Jesus Christ, by their faith in Him, by living in obedience to the laws and ordinances of His gospel, and by serving Him.
In addition to gaining salvation, we can also qualify for exaltation by being true to covenants made with God in the holy temple (see 2 Nephi 31:14–20 ).
The Book of Mormon is convincing evidence of the restored gospel.
As you help those you are teaching see the pattern of apostasy and restoration, they will be prepared to understand the great need for the latter-day Restoration. They will see the need to accept the restored gospel, receive the ordinances of salvation by the authority of the restored priesthood, and follow the way to eternal life. Help people recognize that the Church is not just another religion, nor is it an American church. Rather, it is a restoration of the “fulness of [the] gospel” ( Doctrine and Covenants 1:23 ), the same as was revealed and taught from the beginning.
The Book of Mormon: Another Testament of Jesus Christ is convincing evidence that Joseph Smith was a prophet and that the gospel of Jesus Christ has been restored. It is the keysto
