"In a very real way, repentance is one of the gifts we give to our Savior when we 'offer a sacrifice unto the Lord [our] God in righteousness, even that of a broken heart and a contrite spirit' (D&C 59:8). Through repentance, we may 'come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need' (Heb. 4:16). Nephi taught: 'For we know that it is by grace that we are saved, after all we can do' (2 Ne. 25:23)." - Ted E. Brewerton, "Rejoice in Christ," Ensign, Dec. 1994, pp. 7-8

"The first witness is the Holy Bible, which testifies of the Master from the Middle East. The Lord said in John 10:16 that other sheep would hear His voice. The Lord came to the Americas after His resurrection and said: 'And verily I say unto you, that ye are they of whom I said: Other sheep I have which are not of this fold; them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd' (3 Ne. 15:21). Two such witnesses cannot be denied without placing the soul in peril." - Ted E. Brewerton, "The Book of Mormon: A Sacred Ancient Record," Ensign, November 1995, p. 31
