  • New Creatures in Christ
    New Creatures in Christ Daniel K Judd Daniel K Judd is a professor of ancient scripture at BYU. he Book of Mormon prophet Alma taught the people of TGideon, “There be many things to come; and behold, there is one thing which is of more importance than they all—for behold, the time is not far distant that the Redeemer liveth and cometh among his people” (Alma 7:7). In addition to the many blessings that have come to humankind through the mortal ministry and life of Jesus Christ, prophets, both ancient and modern, have also explained the eternal sig- nificance of the Savior’s death and Resurrection. President Howard W. Hunter taught the following: “The doctrine of the Resurrection is the single most fundamental and crucial doctrine in the Christian religion. It cannot be overempha- sized, nor can it be disregarded. Without the Resurrection, the gospel of Jesus Christ becomes a litany of wise sayings HIS MAJESTY AND MISSION 78 NEW Creatures IN CHRIST and seemingly unexplainable miracles.”1 While the general purpose of this chapter is to review the historical and doctri- nal significance of the Atonement and Resurrection of Jesus Christ, the specific intent is to serve as an invitation for us as individuals, families, and a community of believers to con- tinue our journey in becoming, in the words of the Apos- tle Paul, “new creatures” (see 2 Corinthians 5:17), even new creatures in Christ. The process of becoming men and women of Christ (see 3 Nephi 27:27) often includes inspired thoughts and feelings that come to both heart and mind.
