2 Nephi 2:25
One more favorite.
Before Lehi’s death, back in 2 Nephi, he gathered his sons and blessed them. When blessing his son, Jacob, he spoke words of direction as well as prophetic declarations of God’s plan for His children. In verse 24, he spoke of Adam’s fall and how all things were done “in the wisdom of him who knoweth all things”, then he declared: “Adam fell that men might be; and men are that they might have joy.”
Joy. It is, in fact, why we are here on the earth.
And when ye shall receive these things, I would exhort you that ye would ask God, the Eternal Father, in the name of Christ, if these things are not true; and if ye shall ask with a sincere heart, with real intent, having faith in Christ, he will manifest the truth of it unto you, by the power of the Holy Ghost. (Moroni 10:4)
Why I Read The Book Of Mormon
From the beginning God has spoken to His children through His servants, the prophets, and we have their messages in the scriptures. The Bible is a collection of His dealings with His covenant people, the Jews, and is highlighted by four beautiful accounts of the life of Jesus Christ in Jerusalem. The Book of Mormon is a collection of God’s dealings with other prophets on the American continent who were led there by Him and continued to record His words.
I read The Book of Mormon, as I do the Bible, because it has the words God has prepared for me today. As I study His words I feel the confirmation of their truth through the Holy Spirit. I feel inspiration, guidance, knowledge, and comfort as I pray and ponder the scriptures God has provided.
I encourage all to find the same peace and direction by reading The Book of Mormon and praying to God to know of its truth. He will answer our sincere prayers.
God does love His children, and I am thankful for His enduring care and guidance.
