Prophets as witnesses of God

The Lord calls special witnesses, or prophets, to tell the world about Him.

You can find the testimonies of prophets in the Old Testament, the New Testament, and in the Book of Mormon.

In modern times, Joseph Smith was called as a prophet of God. Like Moses and other biblical prophets, Joseph Smith saw God and His Son, Jesus Christ, and was called to testify of Them and to preach the gospel.

There are also special witnesses of Jesus Christ on the earth today, testifying of Him and of His gospel.

Through the testimonies of these special witnesses, you can better understand the divinity of Jesus Christ and His gospel. You can receive direction about how Heavenly Father wants you to live, how to be happy, and how to return to live with Him.
