I read a talk by Elder Packer about standing on Zion's Hill. He gave a detailed history of how the bible was compiled together, and the men who risked their lives to do so ended up being killed on behalf of what they did.
He also talked about how it took 12 years and over 600 individuals to cross reference our books of scripture we have today. It was a task that at the beginning seemed impossible and overwhelming, but they were guided by the spirit and were able to, 12 years later, complete the indexes so that today, we can turn to the back of our scriptures and find references to any topic.
It's a miracle, if you think about it. And that's what I love about this gospel. Many, many miracles happened in order to bring forth this gospel. How can it not be true? It's like Joshua prophesied: This church is like a stone that continues to roll down a hill and cannot be stopped. We are the ones that continue to bring it forward today. We are the ones who experience miracles in our own lives. We are the ones who use these scriptures to gain our own testimonies and pass them on to our posterity. We all have the responsiblity of continuing to bring this church forth.
