In
one
paragraph
(75-150
words),
describe
a
second
doctrinal
truth
of
significance
that
God
restores
(or
reveals)
to
Joseph
Smith
in
the
1820
revelation
known
as
the
First
Vision.
Your
Answer:
Joseph
Smith
restored
the
theological
truth
of
God's
existence
as
a
triune
being
in
the
revelation
known
as
the
First
Vision,
which
was
revealed
in
1820.
The
Father
and
the
Son
appeared
to
Joseph
as
two
"personages”
in
the
vision,
supporting
the
idea
that
there
are
three
individuals
in
the
Godhead.
This
demonstrated
the
veracity
of
Jesus
Christ's deity
and
restored
the
ancient
Christian
dogma
of
the
Trinity.
This
revelation
is
crucial
because
it
stresses
the
value
of
a
connection
with
God
by
demonstrating
that
God
is
a
cohesive
divine family
rather
than
just
a
solitary
entity.
Furthermore,
it
proves
that
all
people
are
created
in
God's
likeness
and
image,
which
allows
us
to
communicate
with
God
via
prayer
and
faith.
This
belief
is
crucial
to
the
LDS
religion
because
it
helps
us
better
comprehend
our
connection
with
God
and
why
we
were
created.
