In the past God spoke to our forefathers through
the prophets at many times and in various ways,
but in these last days He has spoken to us by His
Son, whom He appointed heir of all things, and
through whom He made the universe. The Son is
the radiance of Gods glory and the exact
representation of His being, sustaining all
things by His powerful word. After He had
provided purification for sins, He sat down at
the right hand of the Majesty in
heaven. Hebrews 11-3

God has spoken!
Most clearly, most definitively, most recently
in Jesus of Nazareth.

and if you 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, you may know the truth of all
things. Moroni 104-5

What Early Evangelists said
Many have undertaken to draw up an account of
the things that have been fulfilled among us,
just as they were handed down to us by those who
from the first were eyewitnesses and servants of
the word. Therefore, since I myself have
carefully investigated everything from the
beginning, it seemed good also to me to write an
orderly account for you, most excellent
Theophilus, so that you may know the certainty of
the things you have been taught. Luke 11-4
12
What Early Evangelists said
That which was from the beginning, which we have
heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we
have looked at and our hands have touched--this
we proclaim concerning the Word of life. The
life appeared we have seen it and testify to it,
and we proclaim to you the eternal life, which
was with the Father and has appeared to us. We
proclaim to you what we have seen and heard, so
that you also may have fellowship with us. And
our fellowship is with the Father and with His
Son, Jesus Christ. We write this to make our joy
complete. I John 11-4

What Early Evangelists said
Men of Israel, listen to this Jesus of Nazareth
was a man accredited by God to you by miracles,
wonders and signs, which God did among you
through Him, as you yourselves know. Acts
222
14
What Early Evangelists said
Jesus did many other miraculous signs in the
presence of His disciples, which are not recorded
in this book. But these are written that you may
believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God,
and that by believing you may have life in His
name. John 2030-31
