“The Book of Mormon was written for us today. God is the author of the book. It is a record of a fallen people, compiled by inspired men for our blessing today. Those people never had the book—it was meant for us. Mormon…abridged centuries of records. God, who knows the end from the beginning, told him what to include in his abridgment that we would need for our day.”
(Ezra Taft Benson, Ensign, May 1975)

“The scarlet dye of the Old Testament was not only colorful but also colorfast, meaning that its vivid color stuck to the wool and would not fade no matter how many times it was washed. [See “Scarlet, Crimson, Snow, and Wool,” Ensign, Dec. 2016, 64–65.] Satan wields this reasoning like a club: white wool stained scarlet can never go back to being white. But Jesus Christ declares, “My ways [are] higher than your ways,” and the miracle of His grace is that when we repent of our sins, His scarlet blood returns us to purity. It isn’t logical, but it is nevertheless true.” [2019–A:73, Sharon Eubank, Christ: The Light That Shines in Darkness]

“Today I testify of miracles. Being a child of God is a miracle. Receiving a body in His image and likeness is a miracle.The gift of a Savior is a miracle.The Atonement of Jesus Christ is a miracle. The potential for eternal life is a miracle. While it is good to pray for and work for physical protection and healing during our mortal existence, our supreme focus should be on the spiritual miracles that are available to all of God’s children. No matter our ethnicity, no matter our nationality, no matter what we have done if we repent, no matter what may have been done to us—all of us have equal access to these miracles. We are living a miracle, and further miracles lie ahead.” [2017–O:88, Donald L. Hallstrom, Has the Day of Miracles Ceased?]
