There is no way to overstate the importance of a written language and of having scriptural accounts that preserve the knowledge that God has revealed to prophets both past and present. Civilization could not exist without a written language … And so, from the beginning, the Lord provided a language and gave men the power to read and write. “It was given unto as many as called upon God to write by the spirit of inspiration. And by them their children were taught to read and write, having a language which was pure and undefiled.” (Moses 6:5-6). The thing which they first wrote, and which of all their writings was of the most worth unto them, was a Book of Remembrance, a book in which they recorded what the Lord had revealed about himself, about his coming, and about the plan of salvation, which plan would have force and validity because of his atonement. This was the beginning of the Holy Scriptures, than which inspired writing there is nothing that is more important.Share
