LET GOD BE TRUE AND LIVE: THE GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST
Priesthood authority did not come from a desire to serve or from reading the scriptures. When that priesthood authority was lost through apostasy, it had to be restored by those resurrected beings who had held it in mortality and who were sent to confer it.
That happened as part of the Restoration of the gospel, and that priesthood authority, together with the keys necessary to direct its operations, are in this Church and no other. As a result of our having the power of the priesthood, the leaders and duly authorized members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints are empowered to perform the required priesthood ordinances, such as baptism, the gift of the Holy Ghost, and the administration of the sacrament.
Practical Applications
Monson, and every other prophet and President of the Church, entitle him to revelation in behalf of the entire Church. The third reason why we are the only true Church is that we have the revealed truth about the nature of God and our relationship to Him, and we therefore have a unique testimony of Jesus Christ. Significantly, our belief in the nature of God is what distinguishes us from the formal creeds of most Christian denominations. The Articles of Faith, our only formal declaration of belief, begin as follows: We maintain that these three members of the Godhead are three separate and distinct beings and that God the Father is not a spirit but a glorified being with a tangible body, as is His resurrected Son, Jesus Christ.
Why Did Paul Say, “Let God Be True...”?
Though separate in identity, They are one in purpose. A subsequent outpouring of modern revelation clarified the significance of this fundamental truth and also gave us the Book of Mormon. This new book of scripture is a second witness of Christ. It affirms the biblical prophecies and teachings of the nature and mission of Christ. It enlarges our understanding of His gospel and His teachings during His earthly ministry.
The Only True and Living Church
It also provides many teachings by which we may know the truth of these things. We are not grounded in the wisdom of the world or the philosophies of men—however traditional or respected they may be.
Our testimony of Jesus Christ is based on the revelations of God to His prophets and to us individually. He is the Creator of this world. Through His incomparable mortal ministry, He is our teacher. Because of His Resurrection, all who have ever lived will be raised from the dead. He is the Savior, whose atoning sacrifice paid for the sin of Adam and opened the door for us to be forgiven of our personal sins so that we can be cleansed to return to the presence of God, our Eternal Father.
This is the central message of the prophets of all ages. I solemnly affirm my testimony of Jesus Christ and the truth of His gospel. He lives, and His gospel is true. To me, the miracle of the Atonement of Jesus Christ is incomprehensible. But the Holy Ghost has given me a witness of its truthfulness, and I can rejoice that I can spend my life in proclaiming it.

A Concluding Thought
Error in form submission. You are not content with Christ's pure gospel — for it has no Mass of Christ. You have added the world's seductions to keep you happy in your marriage to Christ.
He is highly offended at your whorish ways. There are many Bible reasons not to celebrate Christmas for those who esteem God's precepts concerning all things to be right and that hate every false way Ps The God of heaven has specified exactly how He wants to be worshipped. He does not accept inventions or modifications. And He seeks those who will worship Him in spirit and truth John 4: You are living in the perilous times of the last days - a time of great compromise by so-called Christians II Tim 3: Where do you stand?
