Doctrine and Covenants — Section 96
“ Amen.6 And again, verily I say unto you, it is wisdom and expedient in me, that my servant John Johnson whose offering I have accepted, and whose prayers I have heard, unto whom I give a promise of eternal life inasmuch as he keepeth my commandments from henceforth—7 For he is a descendant of Joseph and a partaker of the blessings of the promise made unto his fathers—8 Verily I say unto you, it is expedient in me that he should become a member of the order, that he may assist in bringing forth my word unto the children of men. ”
