Hear the word of him … Who willeth to take even them whom he will take, and preserveth in life them whom he will preserve; Who buildeth up at his own will and pleasure; and destroyeth when he pleases, and is able to cast the soul down to hell. Behold, I, the Lord, utter my voice, and it shall be obeyed.
Doctrine & Covenants 63:2-5
Honestly if someone didn’t understand the character and compassion of the Lord this would sound arrogant and aloof.
Faith cometh not by signs, but signs follow those that believe. Yea, signs come by faith, not by the will of men, … Yea, signs come by faith, unto mighty works, for without faith no man pleaseth God; … Wherefore, I, the Lord, am not pleased with those among you who have sought after signs and wonders for faith, and not for the good of men unto my glory.
Doctrine & Covenants 63:9-12
