“I am a Child of God, and He has sent me here.” While we know this to be the opening line to a Primary song, the doctrine taught in this sentence was a key part of the Restoration of the gospel. This divine truth was made clear even before the Church was organized when, in 1829, the Lord told the prophet Joseph to “Remember the worth of souls is great in the sight of God” (D&C 18:10).

As the Book of Mormon was being translated, there must have been so much new information that Joseph Smith and Oliver Cowdery read from the gold plates: prayer, baptism, and the atonement of Christ to name just a few. Nephi’s direction that all must “take upon you the name of Christ, by baptism” (2 Nephi 31:13) might have prompted questions on whether or not they should be baptized.

The Lord is fully aware of our efforts to serve Him and bring about much good in the world. However, that doesn’t mean everything will be easy. As we do our best to raise children in righteousness, carry out our callings, and love our neighbors as ourselves, we can be encouraged by the Lord’s wisdom to “not run faster or labor more than you have strength” (D&C 10:4).

We sometimes think the best way to do something is to do it ourselves. The Lord, however, wants us to work with Him in accomplishing His “great and marvelous work” (D&C 6:1). To do so, we must be humble and seek revelation to learn how we can be a part of His plan to invite all people to come unto Him.

As the momentum of the Restoration began, many were “called to the work” (D&C 4:3). Among those were Joseph Smith, Sr., the prophet’s father, who had also searched for religious truth for most of his life. Eventually, much of the Smith family would be instrumental as God’s servants helping spread the gospel to the world.

In the few years since the visitation of God the Father and His Son Jesus Christ, Joseph Smith had wondered what God would want him to do with his life. Again, in humble prayer, Joseph plead for guidance, “that I might know of my state and standing before him” (Joseph Smith—History 1:29). Again, his prayer was answered.

As a teenager, Joseph Smith had pondered for many days about God and heaven. He had never prayed out loud in his life, but when he chose to open his heart to the Lord, the answer he received changed the world.

The Prophet Joseph was 26 years old when he received the revelation that became the first section of the Doctrine and Covenants. This section serves as an introduction to the sacred record of the Latter-Days and is filled with wisdom from on high.

A simple prayer spoken aloud in the woods of upstate New York led to the most profound moment in the history of the latter-days. That prayer, and the following answer from Heavenly Father and His Son Jesus Christ, were honored by the First Presidency and the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles in the year 2020, the 200th anniversary of the First Vision. Their proclamation, “The Restoration of the Fulness of the Gospel of Jesus Christ: A Bicentennial Proclamation to the World,” was a reminder to the world that the events which had begun in 1820 will eventually culminate in the Second Coming of the Savior Jesus Christ. As we jump into our study of the Doctrine and Covenants this year, there is no better way to do so than to start with taking a deeper look at the First Vision.
