The Everlasting Covenant

“Ho, every one that thirsteth, come ye to the waters, and he that hath no money; come ye, buy, and eat; yea, come, buy wine and milk without money and without price. Wherefore do ye spend money for that which is not bread? and your labour for that which satisfieth not? hearken diligently unto Me, and eat ye that which is good, and let your soul delight itself in fatness. Incline your ear, and come unto Me: hear, and your soul shall live; and I will make an everlasting covenant with you, even the sure mercies of David. Behold, I have given Him for a witness to the people, a leader and commander to the people. Behold, thou shalt call a nation that thou knowest not, and nations that knew not thee shall run unto thee, because of the Lord thy God, and for the Holy One of Israel; for He hath glorified Thee” (Isaiah 55:1-5). 1MR 120.3

This everlasting covenant the Lord makes with all who seek Him with the whole heart and comply with the conditions of salvation.—Manuscript 93, 1909, 1. (“Address to the Church Members at Salt Lake City,” September 7, 1909.) 1MR 121.1
