Knowing God is not just a distant hope—it becomes possible through the power of the priesthood, which opens the way for divine truth to be revealed. Through this sacred authority, the mysteries of the kingdom unfold, inviting us into a deeper relationship with Him.
Scripture
“And this greater priesthood administereth the gospel and holdeth the key of the mysteries of the kingdom, even the key of the knowledge of God.”—Doctrine and Covenants 84:19
Quote
“The Melchizedek Priesthood…is the channel through which all knowledge, doctrine, the plan of salvation, and every important matter is revealed from heaven….It is the channel through which the Almighty commenced revealing His glory at the beginning of the creation of this earth, and through which He has continued to reveal Himself to the children of men to the present time, and through which He will make known His purposes to the end of time.”—Joseph Smith Jr.
