6. What Are The Most Iconic Bible Verses That Shape Mormon Beliefs?
Greetings, my dear friend! In the Mormon faith, which is a beautiful and uplifting belief system, there are countless Bible verses that help shape the foundation of our beliefs. Of course, we also draw from the Book of Mormon, but for today we’ll focus on six iconic Bible verses that have been instrumental in shaping our faith as members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
1. James 1:5 – “If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.” This verse led young Joseph Smith to pray in a grove of trees, ultimately receiving the First Vision, which was the beginning of the Restoration.
2. Matthew 28:19-20 – “Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you…” These verses show the importance of missionary work within the Church, emphasizing the duty of members to share the gospel with others.
3. John 14:6 – “Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.” This verse testifies of the divinity of Jesus Christ and teaches Latter-day Saints that the path to the Father is through Jesus Christ and His Atonement.
4. Ephesians 4:11-14 – This passage discusses the organization of the Church and the importance of apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors, and teachers, which mirrors the organization of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
5. Malachi 3:10 – “Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse…and prove me now herewith, saith the LORD of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven…” This verse highlights the principle of tithing, which is a significant practice in the Mormon faith.
6. 1 Corinthians 15:40-42 – These verses teach about the different degrees of glory, which Latter-day Saints understand to be the three degrees within the Celestial Kingdom.
