Eternal
Life to Know God and Jesus Christ
I wish I was in a suitable place to tell it, and that I had the
trump of an archangel, so that I could tell the story in such a manner that
persecution would cease forever. What did Jesus say? (Mark it, Elder Rigdon!)
The scriptures inform us that Jesus said, as the Father hath power in himself,
even so hath the Son power—to do what? Why, what the
Father did. The answer is obvious—in a manner to lay down his body and
take it up again. Jesus, what are you going to do? To lay down my life as my
Father did, and take it up again. Do you believe it? If you do not believe it
you do not believe the Bible. The scriptures say it, and I defy all the
learning and wisdom and all the combined powers of earth and hell together to
refute it. Here, then, is eternal life—to know the only wise and true God; and
you have got to learn how to be gods yourselves, and to be kings and priests to
God, the same as all gods have done before you, namely, by going from one small
degree to another, and from a small capacity to a great one; from grace to
grace, from exaltation to exaltation, until you attain to the resurrection of the
dead, and are able to dwell in everlasting burnings, and to sit in glory, as do
those who sit enthroned in everlasting power. And I want you to know that God,
in the last days, while certain individuals are proclaiming His name, is not
trifling with you or me.
Elder Jeffery Holland, General Conference Talk “The Grandeur of
God” October 2003: “The Father … doeth the works,” He said in earnest. “The Son
can do nothing of himself, but what he seeth the Father do: for what things
soever [the Father] doeth, these also doeth the Son likewise.” 6 On another occasion He said: “I speak
that which I have seen with my Father.” “I do nothing of myself; but as my
Father hath taught me.” “I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but
the will of him that sent me.” 7
References: 6. John 14:10; 10 Believest thou not that I am in
the Father,
and the Father in me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself:
but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works. John 5:19. 19 Then
answered Jesus and said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, The Son can
do nothing of himself, but what he seeth the Father do: for
what things soever he doeth, these also doeth the Son likewise. 7. John 8:38, 28;
38 I speak that which I have seen
with my Father: and ye do that which ye have seen with your father. 28 Then said Jesus unto them, When ye have lifted up
the Son of man, then shall ye know that I am he,
and that I do nothing of
myself; but as my Father hath taught me, I speak these
things. John
6:38. 38 For I came down from
heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him that
sent me.
