Knowing God Is a Key to All Knowledge
—————————————————

“The Prophet Joseph Smith said that the ‘Melchizedek Priesthood .. is the channel through which all knowledge, doctrine, the plan of salvation and every important matter is revealed from heaven’ (Teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith, sel. Joseph Fielding Smith [1976], 166-67). President Joseph F. Smith stated: ‘One who can truly affirm that Joseph Smith was a prophet of God, and Jesus is the Savior, has in his possession a prize beyond computation. When we know this we know God, and we have a key to all knowledge’ (in Brian H. Stuy, comp., Collected Discourses Delivered by President Wilford Woodruff, His Two Counselors, the Twelve Apostles, and Others, 5 vols.[1987-92], 2:355-56).”
