“Christ— Should Be His Name”

Church Educational System

The title Christ was revealed to Jacob by an angel. “Christ (a Greek word) and Messiah (a Hebrew word) mean ‘the anointed.’ Jesus Christ is the Firstborn of the Father in the spirit (Heb. 1:6; D&C 93:21). He is the Only Begotten of the Father in the flesh (John 1:14; 3:16). He is Jehovah (D&C 110:3–4) and was foreordained to his great calling before the creation of the world. Under the direction of the Father, Jesus created the earth and everything on it (John 1:3, 14; Moses 1:31–33)” (Guide to the Scriptures, “Jesus Christ”; see also Bible Dictionary, “Christ,” 633; Topical Guide, “Jesus Christ—Jehovah,” 248).
