We believe in being honest, true, chaste, benevolent, virtuous, and in doing good to all men; in deed, we may say that we follow the admonition of Paul ... if there is anything virtuous, lovely, or of good report or praiseworthy, we seek after these things.

The grave shall have no victory and the sting of death should be swallowed up...



Aaron the son of Alma while on his mission to the Lamanites taught King Lamoni the plan of redemption. Most likely if we are part of the so called Christian world we are familiar with this plan.
Aaron says, “Since man had fallen he could not merit anything of himself, but the suffering and death of Christ atoned for their sins through faith and repentance and so forth, and that he breaketh the bands of death, that the grave shall have no victory, and that the sting of death should be swallowed up in hopes of glory.” (Alma 22:14)
This statement of course is only the synopsis of the Bible and the Book of Mormon. It only hints at the love and mercies of our Father in Heaven who gave his only begotten Son as a sacrifice to bring all who will come, back to him.
Helaman says it so beautifully. “Ye thus we may see that the Lord is merciful unto all who will in the sincerity of their hearts call upon his Holy name. Yea we see that the gate to heaven is open to all, even to those who will believe on Jesus Christ who is the Son of God.” (Helaman 3:26-27)
