Plain and Precious

1 Nephi 13:40

"And the angel spake unto me, saying: These last records, which thou hast seen among the Gentiles, shall establish the truth of the first, which are of the twelve apostles of the Lamb, and shall make known the plain and precious things which have been taken away from them; and shall make known to all kindreds, tongues, and people, that the Lamb of God is the Son of the Eternal Father, and the Savior of the world; and that all men must come unto him, or they cannot be saved."

Many of the plain and precious things were taken out of the Bible in the past. They are not lost forever though. The Lord is still revealing these things to the Prophet and Apostles today. The 'last records' include the Book of Mormon, Pearl of Great Price, Doctrine and Covenants, General Conference addresses, and much more. There is so much modern revelation that explains in today's language what the Lord wants us to do. They express the eternal truth of the divinity of Jesus Christ and how we must accept Him and follow Him or we cannot be saved.
