The Restoration Is for You

Adapted from “Hear Him,” Liahona, May 2020, 88–92.

What does it mean for you that the gospel of Jesus Christ has been restored to the earth?

It means that your family can be sealed together forever! It means that when you are baptized and confirmed a member of Jesus Christ’s Church, the Holy Ghost can be with you always. It means that God’s priesthood power can bless you as you make covenants with Him and keep them.

God’s prophet Joseph Smith is your prophet. He was the first prophet of the restored Church. Revelation still flows from the Lord during this ongoing process of restoration.

God lives! Jesus is the Christ! His Church has been restored! He and our Heavenly Father are watching over us.
