“Though within the reach of all who diligently strive to gain it, faith is nevertheless a divine gift, and can be obtained only from God”
| Jesus the Christ
“One object [of the Church] is declared to be “For the perfecting of the Saints.” … The … plan … for the accomplishment of this great object, is through the medium of the spiritual gifts. When the supernatural gifts of the Spirit cease, the Saints cease to be perfected, therefore they can have no hopes of obtaining a perfect salvation….In every nation and age, where believers exist, there the gifts must exist to perfect them.”
