To one seeking an assurance of the truthfulness of the restored gospel the Lord responded: “Did I not speak peace to your mind concerning the matter? What greater witness can you have than from God?” (D&C 6:23.) The witness of the Spirit, that witness by which we have been promised we may know the truth of all things, is the spirit of peace. Such is the spirit and the message of all who go forth in the Savior’s name.
Those who present the gospel message act as agents of him through whom “salvation was, and is, and is to come” (Mosiah 3:18). They talk of him, rejoice in him, preach of him, prophesy of his coming, all so that they and those to whom they preach may have the peaceful assurance that he lives; that it may be known with certainty from whence a remission of sins and all the blessings of heaven come. The Lord’s legal administrators are those who publish peace, who declare salvation, who echo the testimony of Isaiah-“Thy God reigneth!” (Isaiah 52:7).
