Chapter 3: Jesus Christ, Our Chosen Leader And Savior
Concept 2: Jesus Christ Became Our Chosen Leader and Savior
"After hearing both sons speak, Heavenly Father said, "I will send the first." (Abraham 3:27).
Jesus Christ was chosen and ordained to be our Savior. Many Scriptures tell about this. One scripture tells us that long before Jesus was born, he appeared to the brother of Jared, a Book of Mormon prophet, and said: "Behold, I am he who was prepared from the foundation of the world to redeem my people. Behold, I am Jesus Christ... In me shall all mankind have life, and that eternally, even they who shall believe on my name; and they shall become my sons and my daughters." (Ether 3:14).
When Jesus lived on earth, he taught: "For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me... . And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day." (John 6:38, 40).
