Principles and Doctrines: We obtain the word by study and by preparing to teach the restored gospel.
The Lord has created wonderful blessings and promises to those who diligently study the scriptures. The prophet Gordon B. Hinkley taught that if we can learn to enjoy our daily time with the scriptures, we will be enlightened. We can become closer to the Lord through the process of obtaining the Word. And Success in righteousness, the power to avoid deception and resist temptation, guidance in our daily lives, healing of the soul--these are just some of the blessings that come with obtaining the sacred word.
Supporting Scriptures:
D&C 88:118-We should seek the best books--which are the scriptures, and study them by faith. That is how we share wisdom among each other.
D&C 109:7-This scripture says the same thing, that if we can seek diligently, using all our strength to study with faith we will be blessed as a people with knowledge and wisdom.
Inspirational Writings:
When we turn to the scriptures, or the "best books", we please the Lord immensely. The Lord wants us to preach the gospel as best we can with the Spirit on our side. The only way that we can do that is to firstly, have a knowledge of the word obtained by diligence and faith. This will strengthen us as missionaries and cause us to be more successful.
