Jesus Christ called Joseph Smith as a prophet in our day to restore to the earth the gospel, priesthood authority, and His Church, the same as was established by Him when He was alive. Mormons believe Jesus Christ established His church, but after the Apostles died people fell away and the truth and God’s priesthood authority was lost. Jesus eventually restored his Church and called prophets to lead it, starting with Joseph Smith.
Ginamit ni Jesucristo si Joseph Smith bilang propeta sa ating panahon upang maipanumbalik sa mundo ang ebanghelyo, ang awtoridad ng priesthood, at ang Kanyang Simbahan, tulad ng itinatag Niya noong nabubuhay pa Siya. Naniniwala ang mga Mormon na itinatag ni Jesucristo ang Kanyang simbahan, ngunit nang mamatay ang mga Apostol ang mga tao ay naligaw ng landas at nawala ang katotohanan at ang awtoridad ng priesthood ng Diyos. Kalaunan ay ibinalik ni Jesus ang Kanyang Simbahan at tumawag ng mga propeta upang pamunuan ito, simula kay Joseph Smith.
