Many times as a missionary I have heard people say that they have the Bible and that is all they need. One time when I was teaching a lady she brought this up. I explained it like this. The Bible is like Jelly! and The Book of Mormon is like peanut butter. Jelly by its self is great. But when it's put with Peanut Butter there is nothing better. They are great together.
The Scripture in the Bible that really makes this clear is in Ezekiel 37:15-17. It says
 |
| The Bible and Book of Mormon are one in our hands! |
16Moreover, thou son of man, take thee one stick, and write upon it, For Judah, and for the children of Israel his companions: then take another stick, and write upon it, For Joseph, the stick of Ephraim, and for all the house of Israel his companions:
When we have the Bible and The Book of Mormon together we have the fullness of the Gospel. I am so thankful for both the Bible and The Book of Mormon in my life. I testify that they are the Word of God and we can grow closer to God by reading them and abiding by what they teach us.
This is a Short Video of Elder Jeffrey R. Holland on how the Bible and Book of Mormon go together.
