Doctrine and Covenants 22

Excerpt

1 Behold, I say unto you that all old covenants have I caused to be done away in this thing; and this is a new and an everlasting covenant , even that which was from the beginning. 2 Wherefore, although a man should be baptized an hundred times it availeth him nothing, for you cannot enter in at the strait gate by the law of Moses, neither by your dead works . 3 For it is because of your dead works that I have caused this last covenant and this church to be built up unto me, even as in days of old. 4 Wherefore, enter ye in at the gate , as I have commanded, and seek not to counsel your God.
