WHY DO WE HAVE LIVING PROPHETS?
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is led by living prophets- inspired men called to speak for the Lord, as did Moses, Isaiah, Peter, Paul, Nephi, Mormon, and other prophets of the scriptures.
Like the prophets of old, prophets today testify of Jesus Christ and teach His gospel. They make known God’s will and true character. They speak boldly and clearly, denouncing sin and warning of its consequences. At times, they may be inspired to prophesy of future events for our benefit.
Today, Dallin H. Oaks serves as the President and Prophet, Seer, and Revelator of the Church. He is the only person on earth authorized to receive revelation for the entire Church.
We can always trust the living prophets. Their teachings reflect the will of the Lord, who declared: “What I the Lord have spoken, I have spoken, and I excuse not myself; and though the heavens and the earth pass away, my word shall not pass away, but shall all be fulfilled, whether by mine own voice or by the voice of my servants, it is the same.” (Doctrine and Covenants 1:38)
This month, we’re exploring modern-day prophets- who they are, why their authority matters, and how their teachings can help us come closer to Jesus Christ!!
