We believe all that God has revealed, all that he does now reveal, and we believe that He will yet reveal many great and important things pertaining to the kingdom of God.
This is one of my favorite Articles of Faith (for memorizing, that is :)).
One repeated word is "revelation", or the equivalent thereof. The scriptural definition of "Revelation" is communication from God to His children. This guidance comes through various channels according to the needs and circumstances of individuals, families, and the Church as a whole. When the Lord reveals His will to the Church, He speaks through His prophet. According to our faithfulness, we can receive revelation to help us with our specific personal needs, responsibilities, and questions and to help us strengthen our testimony. (True to the Faith; Revelation)
So we believe all He HAS. I think that this is the scriptures. The Bible and the Book of Mormon. We believe in them, and that they come from God.
All that He does NOW. This is an interesting comcept. And sometimes hard for other faiths to grasp. God still reveals things today. Just like the above definition says, when God wants to speak to His church, He speaks through the prophet.
When you think about it, God isn't a changeable God (*), and He isn't a respecter of persons (*). So why wouldn't He give revelations always?
All that He will YET. This means that God will continue to speak to us. And we have decided before hand to believe what He will say.
God is omniscience. He is all-knowing. He knows what's going to happen, and what's happening right now. His revelations can give us counsel TODAY of what we should do to get the best FUTURE experiences.
