The Doctrine and Covenants is a book of divine revelations, given to members of the
Church of Jesus Christ, to help further the establishment of Christ’s Kingdom and contains an
invitation to follow the Lord Jesus Christ. As one engulfs oneself into the Doctrine and
Covenants, one will find out that, just as the Book of Mormon is the keystone of The Church of
Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, the Doctrine and Covenants is a companion to the Book of
Mormon and is the capstone of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. The Doctrine
and Covenants gives new insight to gospel topics and one can further partake of the bread of life
as one drinketh from the pages of the Doctrine and Covenants to come closer to Christ. …show more content…
The Doctrine and Covenants enables
us to improve our knowledge of the Holy Ghost by teaching us of the Spirit’s true nature, to
learn more about the gifts the Spirit gives and to more fully comprehend how we can receive
revelation through the Spirit.
The Doctrine and Covenants enables us to improve our knowledge of the Holy Ghost by
teaching us of the Spirit’s true nature. So often scriptures describe the role of the Spirit, but
often times there is no explanation of what the Spirit is. The Doctrine and Covenants teaches of
what is the Holy Ghost. The following will be explained: The light of Christ, The Power of the
Holy Ghost, The Gift of the Holy Ghost, and the Holy Spirit of Promise.
The Light of Christ- In Doctrine and Covenants 84:46 it reads, “And the Spirit giveth
light to every man that cometh into the world; and the Spirit enlighteneth every man through the
world, that hearkeneth to the voice of the Spirit.” A person has the capability of receiving
guidance from the Holy Ghost, even when one does not have the gift of the Holy Ghost, because

The Book of Mormon tells us that “By the power of the Holy Ghost ye may know
the truth of all things.” (Moroni 10:5) Although this witness is more powerful than the Light of
Christ, it is still temporary and is only there to help one gain a testimony of the truth.
The Gift of the Holy Ghost- Yes, there is a difference between the Holy Ghost and the
Gift of the Holy Ghost. Those who have felt the power of the Holy Ghost do not yet have the
constant companionship of the Holy Ghost. The gift of the Holy Ghost is the right to have,
whenever one is worthy, the companionship of the Holy Ghost. The gift of the Holy Ghost is
given after proper and authorized baptism has taken place. This is done through an ordinance in
which worthy priesthood brethren confer the Spirit onto you by the laying on of hands. This gift
entitles one, who is worthy, to the constant companionship of the Holy Ghost. The gift of the
Holy Ghost will be a comforter to all those who have it. It also brings peace and guides those in
life who have this precious gift.
The Holy Spirit of Promise- Doctrine and Covenants also refers the Holy Ghost as
Church of Jesus Christ, to help further the establishment of Christ’s Kingdom and contains an
invitation to follow the Lord Jesus Christ. As one engulfs oneself into the Doctrine and
Covenants, one will find out that, just as the Book of Mormon is the keystone of The Church of
