“An all-wise Father announces the provisions whereby mortals may return to his presence. Jesus Christ is the way. His gospel contains the laws which must be obeyed. In the beginning it was so; during all dispensations thereafter it was the same; it so remains to this hour; and it shall be so everlastingly. There is only one gospel, one plan of salvation, one Christ, one course back to our Father. God does not vary” (McConkie, Promised Messiah, 289–90).
