Heavenly Father Reveals His Gospel in Every Dispensation

One important way that God shows His ________________ for us is by calling prophets, who are given the priesthood - the ___________________ and _______________________________________ given to man to act in God’s name for the salvation of His children. ________________________________ learn the gospel of Jesus Christ by revelation. They in turn teach the gospel to others and testify of __________________________ _______________________________ as the __________________________ and _____________________________________. The teachings of prophets are found in sacred books called scriptures.

Our Father’s _________________ for us to be successful in this life and to return to live with Him is called the ______________________________ of Jesus Christ, with Jesus’ ________________________________________ at the center of that plan. Through the Atonement of Jesus Christ, we can receive eternal life if we exercise _______________________ in Jesus Christ, ______________________________, are baptized by __________________________________ for the remission of ___________________, receive the _________________ of the Holy Ghost, and endure to the ______________.

All people have the gift of agency, which includes the _______________________________ to accept or reject the gospel as taught by the prophets and ___________________________________. Those who choose to ____________________ are ____________________________, but those who ignore, reject, or distort the gospel do not receive God’s promised blessings.

Whenever people choose to disregard, _______________________, or distort any gospel principle or ordinance, whenever they reject the Lord’s __________________________________, or whenever they fail to endure in _____________________________, they distance themselves from God and begin to live in spiritual darkness.

Eventually this leads to a condition called apostasy. When widespread apostasy occurs, God withdraws His priesthood authority to teach and administer the ___________________________ of the gospel.

Biblical history has recorded many instances of God speaking to prophets, and it also tells of many instances of apostasy. To end each period of general apostasy, God has shown His ___________________ for His children by calling another ___________________________ and giving him priesthood authority to restore and teach the gospel of Jesus Christ anew. In essence, the prophet acts as a steward to ______________________________ the household of God here on earth. Such periods of time headed by prophetic responsibility are called dispensations.
