From the perspective of man, the gospel is a better way of life. It is light bursting forth in a wilderness of darkness. It is faith, repentance, baptism, and the gift of the Holy Ghost. It is signs and gifts and miracles. It is the eyes of the blind being opened, the ears of the deaf unstopped, and the dead rising from their funeral biers. It is persecution and suffering and trials. It is learning to live as becometh a saint. It is overcoming the world until, eventually, in glorious immortality, the true saints dwell with Him who is their Friend and into whose image they have been molded.
