God will be merciful unto many;
and our children shall be restored,
that they may come to
that which will give them
the true knowledge of their Redeemer.
(2 Nephi 10:2)
True Knowledge Of Christ
Our Delight In Christ
Come unto the Holy One of Israel,
and feast upon that which perisheth not,
neither can be corrupted,
and let your soul delight in fatness.
(2 Nephi 9:51)
Only In And Through Christ
Come unto the Lord, the Holy One.
Remember that his paths are righteous.
Behold, the way for man is narrow,
but it lieth in a straight course before him,
and the keeper of the gate is the Holy One of Israel;
and he employeth no servant there;
and there is none other way save it be by the gate;
for he cannot be deceived, for the Lord God is his name.
(2 Nephi 9:41)
Great Is The Christ
O, my beloved brethren,
give ear to my words.
Remember the greatness
of the Holy One of Israel.
(2 Nephi 9:40)
Jesus Christ Is Our Savior
O how great the holiness of our God!
For he knoweth all things,
and there is not anything save he knows it.
And he cometh into the world
that he may save all men
if they will hearken unto his voice;
for behold, he suffereth the pains of all men,
yea, the pains of every living creature,
both men, women, and children,
who belong to the family of Adam.
And he suffereth this that
the resurrection might pass upon all men,
that all might stand before him
at the great and judgment day.
And he commandeth all men that
they must repent, and be baptized in his name,
having perfect faith in the Holy One of Israel,
or they cannot be saved in the kingdom of God.
And if they will not repent and
believe in his name, and be baptized in his name,
and endure to the end, they must be damned;
for the Lord God, the Holy One of Israel,
has spoken it.
Wherefore, he has given a law;
and where there is no law given
there is no punishment;
and where there is no punishment
there is no condemnation;
and where there is no condemnation
the mercies of the Holy One of Israel
have claim upon them, because of the atonement;
for they are delivered by the power of him.
For the atonement satisfieth the demands
of his justice upon all those
who have not the law given to them,
that they are delivered from that awful monster,
death and hell, and the devil,
and the lake of fire and brimstone,
which is endless torment;
and they are restored to that God
who gave them breath,
which is the Holy One of Israel.
Salvation Is In Christ
O the greatness of the mercy of our God,
the Holy One of Israel!
For he delivereth his saints
from that awful monster the devil,
and death, and hell,
and that lake of fire and brimstone,
which is endless torment.
(2 Nephi 9:19)
Joy Through Christ
But, behold, the righteous,
the saints of the Holy One of Israel,
they who have believed
in the Holy One of Israel,
they who have endured
the crosses of the world,
and despised the shame of it,
they shall inherit the kingdom of God,
which was prepared for them
from the foundation of the world,
and their joy shall be full forever.
(2 Nephi 9:18)
Jesus Christ Is Our Judge
And it shall come to pass that
when all men shall have passed
from this first death unto life,
insomuch as they have become immortal,
they must appear before
the judgment-seat of the Holy One of Israel;
and then cometh the judgment,
and then must they be judged
according to the holy judgment of God.
(2 Nephi 9:15)
Thank God For Jesus Christ
Because of the way
of deliverance of our God,
the Holy One of Israel,
this death, of which I have spoken,
which is the temporal,
shall deliver up its dead;
which death is the grave.
And this death of which I have spoken,
which is the spiritual death,
shall deliver up its dead;
which spiritual death is hell;
wherefore, death and hell
must deliver up their dead,
and hell must deliver up its captive spirits,
and the grave must deliver up its captive bodies,
and the bodies and the spirits of men
will be restored one to the other;
and it is by the power of
the resurrection of the Holy One of Israel.
Christ's Great Sacrifice
Ye know that in the body
he shall show himself
unto those at Jerusalem,
from whence we came;
for it is expedient that
it should be among them;
for it behooveth the great Creator
that he suffereth himself to
become subject unto man in the flesh,
and die for all men,
that all men might
become subject unto him.
(2 Nephi 9:5)
Jesus Is Our Mighty One
And all flesh shall know that
I the Lord am thy Savior
and thy Redeemer,
the Mighty One of Jacob.
(2 Nephi 6:18)
The Glory Of The Lord
And behold, according to
the words of the prophet,
the Messiah will set himself
again the second time
to recover them; wherefore,
he will manifest himself unto them
in power and great glory,
unto the destruction of their enemies,
when that day cometh when
they shall believe in him;
and none will he destroy
that believe in him.
(2 Nephi 6:14)
Jesus Christ, The Messiah
And the people of the Lord
shall not be ashamed.
For the people of the Lord
are they who wait for him;
for they still wait for
the coming of the Messiah.
(2 Nephi 6:13)
Jesus Is The Holy One
And after they have
hardened their hearts
and stiffened their necks
against the Holy One of Israel,
behold, the judgments of
the Holy One of Israel
shall come upon them.
(2 Nephi 6:10)
Jesus Christ, Our Lord
The Lord God, the Holy One of Israel,
should manifest himself unto them in the flesh;
and after he should manifest himself
they should scourge him and crucify him,
according to the words of the angel.
(2 Nephi 6:9)
In The Light Of Christ
The Messiah should be made manifest
unto them in the latter days,
in the spirit of power,
unto the bringing of them
out of darkness unto light—
yea, out of hidden darkness
and out of captivity unto freedom.
(2 Nephi 3:5)
Look And Hearken To Christ
And now, I would that ye should
look to the great Mediator,
and hearken unto his great commandments;
and be faithful unto his words,
and choose eternal life,
according to the will of his Holy Spirit.
(2 Nephi 2:28)
Freedom In Christ
Men are free according to the flesh;
and all things are given them
which are expedient unto man.
Freedom Through Christ
And the Messiah cometh in the fulness of time,
that he may redeem the children of men from the fall.
And because that they are redeemed from the fall
they have become free forever, knowing good from evil;
to act for themselves and not to be acted upon,
save it be by the punishment of the law at the great and last day,
according to the commandments which God hath given.
(2 Nephi 2:26)
The Holy Messiah
Redemption cometh in
and through the Holy Messiah;
for he is full of grace and truth.
Behold, he offereth himself a sacrifice for sin,
to answer the ends of the law,
unto all those who have
a broken heart and a contrite spirit;
and unto none else
can the ends of the law be answered.
Wherefore, how great the importance
to make these things known
unto the inhabitants of the earth,
that they may know
that there is no flesh that can
dwell in the presence of God,
save it be through the merits,
and mercy, and grace of the Holy Messiah,
who layeth down his life according to the flesh,
and taketh it again by the power of the Spirit,
that he may bring to pass
the resurrection of the dead,
being the first that should rise.
Wherefore, he is the firstfruits unto God,
inasmuch as he shall make intercession
for all the children of men;
and they that believe in him shall be saved.
And because of the intercession for all,
all men come unto God;
wherefore, they stand in the presence of him,
to be judged of him according to the truth
and holiness which is in him.
Wherefore, the ends of the law
which the Holy One hath given,
unto the inflicting of
the punishment which is affixed,
which punishment that is affixed is in opposition
to that of the happiness which is affixed,
to answer the ends of the atonement.
(2 Nephi 2:6-10)
Salvation Is In Jesus Christ
I know that thou art redeemed,
because of the righteousness of thy Redeemer;
for thou hast beheld that in the fulness of time
he cometh to bring salvation unto men.
wherefore, thou art blessed even as they
unto whom he shall minister in the flesh;
for the Spirit is the same,
yesterday, today, and forever.
And the way is prepared from the fall of man,
and salvation is free.
(2 Nephi 2:3-4)
