Helaman 8:18


Yea, and behold I say unto you, that Abraham not only knew of these things, but there were many before the days of Abraham who were called by the order of God; yea, even after the order of his Son; and this that it should be shown unto the people, a great many thousand years before his coming, that even redemption should come unto them.

The existence of the restored priesthood is proof that salvation is achievable. Why would God grant men authority to perform saving ordinances if salvation were not obtainable? Why would he grant men power to heal illness and afflictions if we just die and rot in the grave? Why would he give us the temple if exaltation in the celestial kingdom is out of reach?  The very fact that we have the priesthood is a sign of hope from God.
