“In all of scripture, no revelation provides the comprehensive vision of what the Father and the Son have done and will do for the salvation of humankind as that given to Lehi and Nephi in their visions of the Tree of Life.  Because they were well educated in the traditions of Israel, they would have understood God’s past and future involvement with his human children in terms of his covenant with Abraham, the law given to Moses renewing that covenant, and the blessings promised to Abraham’s descendants. After that vision, they were able to teach God’s plan of salvation and the gospel of Jesus Christ with a fullness and clarity that exceeds all other accounts.  So it is with the Tree of Life.”
