To Thomas and the other apostles

Himself as the Savior of the world…
either we accept the blessings of His
Atonement and are made clean and pure,
worthy to have His Spirit, or we don’t and foolishly remain alone
and filthy still.
What then shall I do?
We can take upon us the name of the Son, and always remember him and keep his commandments which he has given us, that we may always have his Spirit to be
with us.
D&C 20:77
Jesus is the Way
We are saved by eating the flesh and drinking the
blood of the Son of God
Men must eat his flesh and He
will give it for the life of the
world
To eat the flesh and drink the Blood of the Son of God
Eating his flesh and drinking his
blood brings eternal life
To accept him as a Son of
God
The eternal atoning sacrifice
Keeping commandments and enduring in
obedience
Exaltation in the highest heaven of the celestial world

same spiritual meat; And did all drink the same spiritual drink; for they drank of that spiritual
Rock that followed them: and that Rock was
Christ.”
