Cover-up
The Gospel’s insights remain relatively hidden from a society that has been consciously and cleverly persuaded by the evil one that the church of the Restoration knows least, when it fact it knows the most, about Jesus Christ’s role as our personal Savior. The adversary has known exactly what he is doing. He has been engaged in one of history’s greatest cover-ups.
Today, many people feel a longing for heaven, where, they want to believe, they will be welcomed not only into the arms of their families but into the arms of God. The Restoration offers a complete fulfillment of that longing, not just as some momentary emotion but as the fully developed doctrine of the gospel of Jesus Christ. We hear him saying to all those within and outside the Church who hunger and thirst to find him in times of personal famine:
40 - Behold, ye are little children and ye cannot bear all things now; ye must grow in grace and in the knowledge of the truth.
41 - Fear not, little children, for you are mine, and I have overcome the world, and you are of them that my Father hath given me;
42 - And none of them that my Father hath given me shall be lost;
43 - … and inasmuch as ye have received me, ye are in me and I in you.
