Russell Ballard of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles testifies that the gospel was restored to the earth, that there are living prophets and apostles today, and that the spreading of the gospel throughout the world today is the Lord’s will. “It is by Him and through Him that our missionaries bear humble and sincere testimony. I’m a witness of that,” he says. “This is His gospel. He stands at the head—holy, divine, supreme, full of power, majesty, grace, and truth.”

From the Sacred Grove near Palmyra, New York, Elder D. Todd Christofferson of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles testifies that Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ appeared to Joseph Smith. He shares his experience in gaining a testimony of the First Vision and declares that anyone sincerely seeking their own testimony will receive a personal witness of the truth. Elder Christofferson joins his testimony with that of the Prophet Joseph Smith in bearing witness of the living Savior. “I attest that Jesus is the Holy Messiah, who was prophesied to come and who, as further prophesied, will come again to reign upon the earth,” Elder Christofferson says. “I too bear witness that He lives.”
