Look to this day!
For it is life, the very life of life.
For yesterday is but a dream.
And tomorrow is only a vision.
But today well lived makes
every yesterday a dream of happiness
and every tomorrow a vision of hope.
Look well, therefore, to this day!
Such is the salutation of the dawn.

Another Testament of Christ

And now, behold, according to their faith in their prayers will I bring this part of my gospel to the knowledge of my people. Behold, I do not bring it to destroy that which they have received, but to build it up. D&C 10:52

The Book of Mormon was sent fort to the world for the purpose of proving to the world that the holy scriptures are true, and that God does inspire men and call them to his holy work in this age and generation, as well as in generations of old. (D&C 20:11). Although critics of the Church often exclaim that the Book of Mormon contradicts the Bible, this assertion is patently false. The Book of Mormon is another testament of Jesus Christ, as its subtitle indicates, and it bears witness of the same sacred, saving truths as does the Bible. Thus the Lord teaches his servants that he Book of Mormon was brought forth not to supplant or put away the Old and New Testaments but rather to build them up – to support them, to sustain them, to testify of their essential truthfulness, and in places to offer clarification and correction. (Robert L. Millet and Lloyd D. Newell. Draw Near Unto Me: Daily Reflections on the Doctrine and Covenants. 38)
