These
three Sections have two examples of ‘proving’ the Restoration. From the five questions being answered to the
challenge of writing a revelation from God, there was ample ‘proof’ of the
nature of Joseph Smith’s prophetic calling.
Of
course, McClellin apostatized (as did a number involved in the attempt to write
a revelation), so we learn once again that proving the work of the Lord does
not accomplish much. It is ultimately a
choice to decide if we will give our will to the Lord (rather than ignorance or
knowledge) that will determine our eternal destiny. If we are willing to trust the Lord and give
ourselves to Him (in the gift of a broken heart and a contrite spirit), we will
be blessed. If not, we will fall
away. No amount (or lack) of proof will change
that.
