I Have Faith in Jesus Christ – Crucifixion by Carl Bloch

2 Nephi 25:13

13Ā Behold, they willĀ crucifyĀ him; and after he is laid in aĀ sepulchreĀ for the space ofĀ threeĀ days he shallĀ riseĀ from the dead, with healing in his wings; and all those who shall believe on his name shall be saved in the kingdom of God. Wherefore, my soul delighteth to prophesy concerning him, for I haveĀ seenĀ his day, and my heart doth magnify his holy name.

Exploring the Lectures on Faith – First Lecture

Someone recently said that the Lectures on Faith are Joseph Smith revealing to man how to know God. In the old days, Adam walked with God. It would not have been uncommon for those who knew the first fathers, those patriarchs who walked and talked with God, to have been taught the true nature of God and how to come to know him. As time went on we were taught that God was unknowable and mysterious.
