Jesus Christ, The Savior Of The World

Behold, I am Jesus Christ the Son of God.

I created the heavens and the earth,
and all things that in them are.

I was with the Father from the beginning.

I am in the Father, and the Father in me;

and in me hath the Father glorified his name.

I came unto my own, and my own received me not.

And the scriptures concerning my coming are fulfilled.

And as many as have received me,

to them have I given to become the sons of God;

and even so will I to as many as shall believe on my name,

for behold, by me redemption cometh,

and in me is the law of Moses fulfilled.

I am the light and the life of the world.

I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end.

(3 Nephi 9:15-18)

Oh Holy Night

Lift up your head and be of good cheer;
for behold, the time is at hand,
and on this night shall the sign be given,
and on the morrow come I into the world,
to show unto the world that I will fulfil
all that which I have caused to be spoken
by the mouth of my holy prophets.
(3 Nephi 1:13)

Sanctified Through The Blood Of Christ

And again, if ye by the grace of God
are perfect in Christ, and deny not his power,
then are ye sanctified in Christ by the grace of God,
through the shedding of the blood of Christ,
which is in the covenant of the Father
unto the remission of your sins,
that ye become holy, without spot.
(Moroni 10:33)

The Grace of Jesus Christ

Yea, come unto Christ, and be perfected in him,
and deny yourselves of all ungodliness;
and if ye shall deny yourselves of all ungodliness,
and love God with all your might, mind and strength,
then is his grace sufficient for you, that
by his grace ye may be perfect in Christ;
and if by the grace of God ye are perfect in Christ,
ye can in nowise deny the power of God.
(Moroni 10:32)

Jesus Is God's Great Gift

And again I would exhort you that
ye would come unto Christ,
and lay hold upon every good gift.
(Moroni 10:30)

Many Witnessed Of Christ

Behold, I say unto you,
Yea, many have testified of these things
at the coming of Christ.
(3 Nephi 10:15)

Praise Jesus

And their mourning was turned into joy,
and their lamentations into the praise
and thanksgiving unto the
Lord Jesus Christ, their Redeemer.
(3 Nephi 10:10)

Jesus Calls You

Behold, I have come unto the world
to bring redemption unto the world,
to save the world from sin.

Therefore, whoso repenteth and

cometh unto me as a little child,

him will I receive, for

of such is the kingdom of God.

Behold, for such I have laid down my life,

and have taken it up again; therefore repent,

and come unto me ye ends of the earth,

and be saved.

(3 Nephi 9:21-22)

Jesus Heals All

Have ye any that are sick among you?
Bring them hither.

Have ye any that are lame, or blind, or halt,
or maimed, or leprous, or that are withered,
or that are deaf, or that are afflicted in any manner?
Bring them hither and I will heal them,
for I have compassion upon you;
my bowels are filled with mercy.

And it came to pass that when he had thus spoken,

all the multitude, with one accord,

did go forth with their sick and their afflicted,

and their lame, and with their blind,

and with their dumb, and with all them

that were afflicted in any manner;

and he did heal them every one

as they were brought forth unto him.

And they did all, both they who had been healed

and they who were whole,

bow down at his feet, and did worship him;

and as many as could come for the multitude did kiss his feet,

insomuch that they did bathe his feet with their tears.

(3 Nephi 17:7 & 9-10)

Jesus Is The Christ, Our Redeemer

Behold, I am Jesus Christ the Son of God.

I created the heavens and the earth,
and all things that in them are.

I was with the Father from the beginning.

I am in the Father, and the Father in me;

and in me hath the Father glorified his name.

I came unto my own, and my own received me not.

And the scriptures concerning my coming are fulfilled.

And as many as have received me,

to them have I given to become the sons of God;

and even so will I to as many as shall believe on my name,

for behold, by me redemption cometh,

and in me is the law of Moses fulfilled.

I am the light and the life of the world.

I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end.

(3 Nephi 9:15-18)

Transformed By Christ

As many as were converted did
truly signify unto the people
that they had been visited by
the power and Spirit of God,
which was in Jesus Christ,
in whom they believed.
(3 Nephi 7:21)

Power Through Faith In Christ

So great was his faith on the Lord Jesus Christ

that angels did minister unto him daily. 

And in the name of Jesus did he

cast out devils and unclean spirits;

and even his brother did he raise from the dead,

after he had been stoned and suffered death by the people.

And the people saw it, and did witness of it,

and were angry with him because of his power;

and he did also do many more miracles,

in the sight of the people, in the name of Jesus.

(3 Nephi 7:18-20)

Through Great Faith In Christ

And it came to pass that Nephi—
having been visited by angels
and also the voice of the Lord,
therefore having seen angels,
and being eye-witness,
and having had power given unto him
that he might know concerning
the ministry of Christ, went forth
among them in that same year,
and began to testify, boldly,
repentance and remission of sins
through faith on the Lord Jesus Christ.

(3 Nephi 7:15-16)

Miracles Through Christ

And we know our record to be true,
for behold, it was a just man
who did keep the record—
for he truly did many miracles
in the name of Jesus;
and there was not any man who could
do a miracle in the name of Jesus
save he were cleansed
every whit from his iniquity.
(3 Nephi 8:1)

We Boldly Testify Of Christ

And there began to be men inspired from heaven
and sent forth, standing among the people in all the land,
preaching and testifying boldly unto them concerning
the redemption which the Lord would make for his people,
or in other words, the resurrection of Christ;
and they did testify boldly of his death and sufferings.

Now there were many of those who testified
of the things pertaining to Christ who testified boldly.
(3 Nephi 6:20 & 23)

Jesus Our Redeemer

And then shall they know their Redeemer,
who is Jesus Christ, the Son of God;
and then shall they be gathered in
from the four quarters of the earth
unto their own lands, from whence
they have been dispersed;
yea, as the Lord liveth so shall it be.
(3 Nephi 5:26)

Mormons Love Jesus

I am Mormon, and I have reason
to bless my God and my Savior Jesus Christ.
(3 Nephi 5:20)

Called Of Christ

Behold, I am a disciple
of Jesus Christ, the Son of God.

I have been called of him to
declare his word among his people,
that they might have everlasting life.
(3 Nephi 5:13)

Christ Foretold

And they knew that it must be
expedient that Christ had come,
because of the many signs
which had been given,
according to the words of the prophets.
(3 Nephi 5:2)

From The Time Of Christ

And nine years had passed away
from the time when the sign was given,
which was spoken of by the prophets,
that Christ should come into the world.

Now the Nephites began to reckon their time

from this period when the sign was given,

or from the coming of Christ;

therefore, nine years had passed away.

(3 Nephi 2:7-8)

Jesus Appeared To Them

And they began to know that
the Son of God must shortly appear;
yea, in fine, all the people
upon the face of the whole earth
from the west to the east,
both in the land north and in the land south
knew that the prophets had testified
of these things for many years.
(3 Nephi 1:17-18)

The Coming Of Jesus Christ

Behold, Nephi was baptizing, and prophesying,
and preaching, crying repentance unto the people,
showing signs and wonders,
working miracles among the people,
that they might know that
the Christ must shortly come.
(Helaman 16:4)

Christ Is The True Shepherd

They shall again be brought to the true knowledge,
which is the knowledge of their Redeemer,
and their great and true shepherd
and be numbered among his sheep.
(Helaman 15:13)

Jesus Died For Us

And behold, again, another sign
I give unto you, yea, a sign of his death.

For behold, he surely must die that salvation may come;

yea, it behooveth him and becometh expedient that he dieth,

to bring to pass the resurrection of the dead,

that thereby men may be brought into the presence of the Lord.

Yea, behold, this death bringeth to pass the resurrection,

and redeemeth all mankind from the first death—

that spiritual death; for all mankind, by the fall of Adam

being cut off from the presence of the Lord,

are considered as dead,

both as to things temporal and to things spiritual.

But behold, the resurrection of Christ redeemeth mankind,

yea, even all mankind, and bringeth them

back into the presence of the Lord.

(Helaman 14:14-17)

Trust In The Name Of Christ

And ye shall hear my words,
for, for this intent have I come,
that ye might hear and know of
the judgments of God
which do await you
because of your iniquities,
and also that ye might know
the conditions of repentance;

And also that ye might know

of the coming of Jesus Christ,

the Son of God,

the Father of heaven and of earth,

the Creator of all things from the beginning;

and that ye might know

of the signs of his coming,

to the intent that ye might

believe on his name.

And if ye believe on his name

ye will repent of all your sins,

that thereby ye may have

a remission of them

through his merits.

(Helaman 14:11-13)

Believe In Jesus Christ

Whosoever shall believe on the Son of God,
the same shall have everlasting life.
(Helaman 14:8)

Signs Of Christ's Coming

Behold, I give unto you a sign;

for five years more cometh,

and behold, then cometh the Son of God

to redeem all those who shall believe on his name.

And behold, this will I give unto you

for a sign at the time of his coming;

for behold, there shall be great lights in heaven,

insomuch that in the night before he cometh

there shall be no darkness, insomuch that

it shall appear unto man as if it was day.

Therefore, there shall be one day and a night and a day,

as if it were one day and there were no night;

and this shall be unto you for a sign;

for ye shall know of the rising of the sun

and also of its setting; therefore

they shall know of a surety that

there shall be two days and a night;

nevertheless the night shall not be darkened;

and it shall be the night before he is born.

And behold, there shall a new star arise,

such an one as ye never have beheld;

and this also shall be a sign unto you.

And behold this is not all,

there shall be many signs and wonders in heaven.

And it shall come to pass that

ye shall all be amazed, and wonder,

insomuch that ye shall fall to the earth.

(Helaman 14:2-7)

Salvation Is In Christ Alone

Nothing can save this people
save it be repentance
and faith on the Lord Jesus Christ,
who surely shall come into the world,
and shall suffer many things
and shall be slain for his people.
And behold, an angel of the Lord
hath declared it unto me,
and he did bring glad tidings to my soul.
(Helaman 13:6-7)

Always Remember Jesus

Yea, and we may see at the very time
when he doth prosper his people,
yea, and in fine, doing all things for
the welfare and happiness of his people;
yea, then is the time that
they do harden their hearts,
and do forget the Lord their God,
and do trample under their feet the Holy One—
yea, and this because of their ease,
and their exceedingly great prosperity.
(Helaman 12:2)

Christ Was Their God

All of our fathers, even down to this time;
yea, they have testified of the coming of Christ,
and have looked forward,
and have rejoiced in his day which is to come.
And behold, he is God, and he is with them,
and he did manifest himself unto them,
that they were redeemed by him;
and they gave unto him glory,
because of that which is to come.
(Helaman 8:22-23)

All Prophets Testify Of Christ

And now I would that ye should know,
that even since the days of Abraham
there have been many prophets
that have testified these things;
yea, behold, the prophet Zenos did testify boldly;
for the which he was slain.
And behold, also Zenock, and also Ezias,
and also Isaiah, and Jeremiah,
(Jeremiah being that same prophet who
testified of the destruction of Jerusalem)
and now we know that Jerusalem was destroyed
according to the words of Jeremiah.

O then why not the Son of God come,
according to his prophecy?
(Helaman 8:19-20)

Christ Was Lifted Up For Us

Moses had such great power given unto him,
yea, the words which he hath spoken
concerning the coming of the Messiah.

Yea, did he not bear record
that the Son of God should come?

And as he lifted up the brazen serpent
in the wilderness, even so
shall he be lifted up who should come.

And as many as should
look upon that serpent should live,
even so as many as should
look upon the Son of God with faith,
having a contrite spirit, might live,
even unto that life which is eternal.
(Helaman 8:13-15)

Jesus Is Our Light

You must repent, and cry unto the voice,
even until ye shall have faith in Christ,
who was taught unto you;
and when ye shall do this,
the cloud of darkness shall be
removed from overshadowing you.
(Helaman 5:41)

Jesus Christ The Son Of God

Behold, I am Jesus Christ,
whom the prophets testified shall come into the world.
And behold, I am the light and the life of the world;
and I have drunk out of that bitter cup
which the Father hath given me,
and have glorified the Father
in taking upon me the sins of the world,
in the which I have suffered the will of the Father
in all things from the beginning.
(3 Nephi 11:10-11)

The Coming of Jesus

Lift up your head and be of good cheer;
for behold, the time is at hand,
and on this night shall the sign be given,
and on the morrow come I into the world,
to show unto the world that
I will fulfil all that which
I have caused to be spoken
by the mouth of my holy prophets.
Behold, I come unto my own,
to fulfill all things which I have
made known unto the children of men
from the foundation of the world,
and to do the will, both of
the Father and of the Son—
of the Father because of me,
and of the Son because of my flesh.

And behold, the time is at hand,
and this night shall the sign be given.
(3 Nephi 1:13-14)

Build On Christ

And now remember, remember that
it is upon the rock of our Redeemer,
who is Christ, the Son of God,
that ye must build your foundation;
that when the devil shall
send forth his mighty winds,
yea, his shafts in the whirlwind,
yea, when all his hail and
his mighty storm shall beat upon you,
it shall have no power over you
to drag you down to
the gulf of misery and endless wo,
because of the rock upon which ye are built,
which is a sure foundation,
a foundation whereon
if men build they cannot fall.
(Helaman 5:12)

Our Redeemer's Power

Remember also the words which Amulek spake
that the Lord surely should come to redeem his people,
but that he should not come to redeem them in their sins,
but to redeem them from their sins.
And he hath power given unto him from the Father
to redeem them from their sins because of repentance;
therefore he hath sent his angels to declare
the tidings of the conditions of repentance,
which bringeth unto the power of the Redeemer,
unto the salvation of their souls.
(Helaman 5:10-11)

Through The Blood Of Christ

Remember that there is no other way
nor means whereby man can be saved,
only through the atoning blood
of Jesus Christ, who shall come;
yea, remember that
he cometh to redeem the world.
(Helaman 5:9)

True Joy In Christ

They did fast and pray oft,
and did wax stronger and
stronger in their humility,
and firmer and firmer
in the faith of Christ,
unto the filling their souls
with joy and consolation,
yea, even to the purifying
and the sanctification of their hearts,
which sanctification cometh
because of their yielding
their hearts unto God.
(Helaman 3:35)

All May Come Unto Christ

Yea, we see that whosoever will
may lay hold upon the word of God,
which is quick and powerful,
which shall divide asunder
all the cunning and the snares
and the wiles of the devil,
and lead the man of Christ
in a strait and narrow course
across that everlasting gulf of misery
which is prepared to engulf the wicked—
And land their souls,
yea, their immortal souls,
at the right hand of God
in the kingdom of heaven,
to sit down with Abraham,
and Isaac, and with Jacob,
and with all our holy fathers,
to go no more out.
(Helaman 3:29-30)

All May Believe In Jesus

Yea, thus we see that
the gate of heaven is open unto all,
even to those who will believe
on the name of Jesus Christ,
who is the Son of God.
(Helaman 3:28)

Firmness In Christ

And he was a man who
was firm in the faith of Christ.
(Alma 48:12)

The Cause Of Christians

He was preparing to support their liberty,
their lands, their wives, and their children, and their peace,
 and that they might live unto the Lord their God,
and that they might maintain that which was
called by their enemies the cause of Christians.
(Alma 48:10)

Happy In Christ

There were many who died with old age;
and those who died in the faith of Christ
are happy in him, as we must needs suppose.
(Alma 46:41)

Rejoice In The Hope Of Christ

And it came to pass that there were many who died,
firmly believing that their souls were
redeemed by the Lord Jesus Christ;
thus they went out of the world rejoicing.
(Alma 46:39)

Stand Fast In Christ

And now who knoweth but what
the remnant of the seed of Joseph,
which shall perish as his garment,
are those who have dissented from us?

Yea, and even it shall be ourselves
if we do not stand fast in the faith of Christ.
(Alma 46:27)

Stand In The Name Of Christ

The people came running together,
rending their garments in token, or as a covenant,
that they would not forsake the Lord their God;
or, in other words, if they should
transgress the commandments of God,
or fall into transgression, and be ashamed
to take upon them the name of Christ,
the Lord should rend them even as
they had rent their garments.
(Alma 46:21)

Followers Of Christ

Surely God shall not suffer that we,
who are despised because we
take upon us the name of Christ,
shall be trodden down and destroyed,
until we bring it upon us
by our own transgressions.
(Alma 46:17)

True Christians

And therefore, at this time, Moroni prayed
that the cause of the Christians,
and the freedom of the land might be favored.
(Alma 46:16)

They Were Christians

And those who did belong to the church were faithful;
yea, all those who were true believers in Christ
took upon them, gladly, the name of Christ,
or Christians as they were called, because of
their belief in Christ who should come.
(Alma 46:15)

True Believers In Christ

He bowed himself to the earth,

and he prayed mightily unto his God

for the blessings of liberty to rest upon his brethren,

so long as there should a band of Christians

remain to possess the land—

For thus were all the true believers of Christ,

who belonged to the church of God,

called by those who did not belong to the church.

(Alma 46:13-14)

Jesus Came To Them

Jesus Christ shall
manifest himself unto them.
(Alma 45:10)

Believe In Jesus

Believest thou in Jesus Christ,
who shall come?
(Alma 45:4)

Because Of Faith In Christ

But now, ye behold that the Lord is with us;
and ye behold that he has delivered you into our hands.

And now I would that ye should understand
that this is done unto us because of
our religion and our faith in Christ.

And now ye see that ye cannot destroy this our faith.
(Alma 44:3)

Through The Justice Of Christ

Behold, it is requisite and just,
according to the power
and resurrection of Christ,
that the soul of man
should be restored to its body,
and that every part of the body
should be restored to itself.
(Alma 41:2)

At Christ's Resurrection

There is a first resurrection,
a resurrection of all those who have been,
or who are, or who shall be,
down to the resurrection
of Christ from the dead.
(Alma 40:16)

He Is The First Fruits

Behold, I say unto you, that there is no resurrection—
or, I would say, in other words, that
this mortal does not put on immortality,
this corruption does not put on incorruption—
until after the coming of Christ.

Behold, he bringeth to pass the resurrection of the dead.
(Alma 40:2-3)

Christ's Gospel

I would say somewhat unto you
concerning the coming of Christ.

Behold, I say unto you,
that it is he that surely shall come to
take away the sins of the world;
yea, he cometh to declare glad
tidings of salvation unto his people.
(Alma 39:15)

Only In & Through Christ

I have told you this that ye may learn wisdom,
that ye may learn of me that there is no other way
or means whereby man can be saved,
only in and through Christ.

Behold, he is the life and the light of the world.

Behold, he is the word of truth and righteousness.
(Alma 38:9)

Find Peace In Christ

I was three days and three nights
in the most bitter pain and anguish of soul;
and never, until I did cry out unto
the Lord Jesus Christ for mercy,
did I receive a remission of my sins.

But behold, I did cry unto him
and I did find peace to my soul.
(Alma 38:8)

Follow Jesus

Surely shall the words of Christ,
if we follow their course,
carry us beyond this vale of sorrow
into a far better land of promise.
(Alma 37:45)

Listen To Jesus

Behold, it is easy to
give heed to the word of Christ,
which will point to you
a straight course to eternal bliss.
(Alma 37:44)

Have Faith In Jesus Christ

Preach unto them repentance,
and faith on the Lord Jesus Christ;
teach them to humble themselves
and to be meek and lowly in heart;
teach them to withstand
every temptation of the devil,
with their faith on the Lord Jesus Christ.
(Alma 37:33)

God's Word Is In Christ

Yea, these records and their words
brought them unto repentance;
that is, they brought them to
the knowledge of the Lord their God,
and to rejoice in Jesus Christ their Redeemer.
(Alma 37:9)

Peace Comes Through Christ

And it came to pass that as I was thus racked with torment,

while I was harrowed up by the memory of my many sins,

behold, I remembered also to have heard my father

prophesy unto the people concerning the coming

of one Jesus Christ, a Son of God,

to atone for the sins of the world.

Now, as my mind caught hold upon this thought,

I cried within my heart: O Jesus, thou Son of God,

have mercy on me, who am in the gall of bitterness,

and am encircled about by the everlasting chains of death.

And now, behold, when I thought this,

I could remember my pains no more;

yea, I was harrowed up by the memory of my sins no more.

(Alma 36:17-19)

No More Deny Christ

And now, my beloved brethren, I desire that
ye should remember these things,
and that ye should work out
your salvation with fear before God,
and that ye should no more
deny the coming of Christ;

That ye contend no more against
the Holy Ghost, but that ye receive it,
and take upon you the name of Christ.
(Alma 34:37-38)

Through The Blood Of Christ

The Lord hath said he dwelleth not in unholy temples,
but in the hearts of the righteous doth he dwell;
yea, and he has also said that the righteous
shall sit down in his kingdom, to go no more out;
but their garments should be made white
through the blood of the Lamb.
(Alma 34:36)

Christ's Infinite Atonement

Behold, this is the whole meaning of the law,
every whit pointing to that great and last sacrifice;
and that great and last sacrifice
will be the Son of God, yea, infinite and eternal.

And thus he shall bring salvation to
all those who shall believe on his name.
(Alma 34:14-15)

I Know He Is Christ

And now, behold, I will testify unto you of myself
that these things are true.

Behold, I say unto you, that I do know that
Christ shall come among the children of men,
to take upon him the transgressions of his people,
and that he shall atone for the sins of the world;
for the Lord God hath spoken it.
(Alma 34:8)

Jesus Christ Is The Word

And we have beheld that
the great question which is in your minds
is whether the word be in the Son of God,
or whether there shall be no Christ.

And ye also beheld that my brother

has proved unto you, in many instances,

that the word is in Christ unto salvation.

My brother has called upon the words of Zenos,

that redemption cometh through the Son of God,

and also upon the words of Zenock;

and also he has appealed unto Moses,

to prove that these things are true.

(Alma 34:5-7)

Know Christ

I think that it is impossible that ye should be ignorant
of the things which have been spoken concerning
the coming of Christ, who is taught by us
to be the Son of God.
(Alma 34:2)

Have Joy in Christ

May God grant unto you
that your burdens may be light,
through the joy of his Son.
(Alma 33:23)

Our Faith Is In Jesus

Cast about your eyes and begin to
believe in the Son of God,
that he will come to redeem his people,
and that he shall suffer and die
to atone for their sins;
and that he shall rise again from the dead,
which shall bring to pass the resurrection,
that all men shall stand before him,
to be judged at the last and judgment day,
according to their works.
(Alma 33:22)

Look Unto Jesus Christ

And now, my brethren, ye see that
a second prophet of old has
testified of the Son of God,
and because the people would not
understand his words
they stoned him to deatth

But behold, this is not all;

these are not the only ones who

have spoken concerning the Son of God.

Behold, he was spoken of by Moses;

yea, and behold a type was

raised up in the wilderness,

that whosoever would look upon it might live.

And many did look and live.

(Alma 33:17-19)

God's Mercy Is In Christ Jesus

Behold, he said: Thou art angry, O Lord, with this people,
because they will not understand thy mercies
which thou hast bestowed upon them because of thy Son.
(Alma 33:16)

The Scriptures Testify Of Christ

I would ask if ye have read the scriptures?

If ye have, how can ye disbelieve
on the Son of God?
(Alma 33:14)

Mercy Is In Christ

Thou hast turned away thy judgments
because of thy Son.
(Alma 33:13)

Because Of Jesus Christ

And thou didst hear me because of
mine afflictions and my sincerity;
and it is because of thy Son that thou
hast been thus merciful unto me,
therefore I will cry unto thee
in all mine afflictions,
for in thee is my joy;
for thou hast turned thy judgments
away from me, because of thy Son.
(Alma 33:11)

Jesus Christ Is Our Joy

And the Lord provided for them
that they should hunger not,
neither should they thirst; yea,
and he also gave them strength,
that they should suffer
no manner of afflictions,
save it were swallowed up
in the joy of Christ.
(Alma 31:38)

Bring Them Unto Christ

O Lord, wilt thou grant unto us
that we may have success
in bringing them again
unto thee in Christ.
(Alma 31:34)

Comfort Others In Christ

O Lord, wilt thou comfort my soul,
and give unto me success,
and also my fellow laborers who are with me
wilt thou comfort, O Lord.

Yea, wilt thou comfort their souls in Christ.
(Alma 31:32)

Jesus Is Our Comfort

O Lord, my heart is exceedingly sorrowful;
wilt thou comfort my soul in Christ.
(Alma 31:31)

All Things Testify Of Christ

Will ye deny again that there is a God,
and also deny the Christ?

For behold, I say unto you,
I know there is a God,
and also that Christ shall come.

And now what evidence have ye

that there is no God, or that Christ cometh not?

I say unto you that ye have none,

save it be your word only.

But, behold, I have all things as a testimony
that these things are true;
and ye also have all things as a testimony
unto you that they are true.
(Alma 30:39-41)

Pervert Not The Ways Of Christ

And it came to pass that the high priest said unto him:
Why do ye go about perverting the ways of the Lord?

Why do ye teach this people that there
shall be no Christ, to interrupt their rejoicings?

Why do ye speak against
all the prophecies of the holy prophets?
(Alma 30:22)

Choose Jesus Christ

And thus we see the great call of diligence
of men to labor in the vineyards of the Lord;
and thus we see the great reason of sorrow, and also of rejoicing—
sorrow because of death and destruction among men,
and joy because of the light of Christ unto life.
(Alma 28:14)

Redeemer Of All

And now may the Lord,
the Redeemer of all men,
bless their souls forever.
(Alma 28:8)

Christ Has Won The Victory

And they never did look upon death
with any degree of terror,
for their hope and views of Christ
and the resurrection; therefore,
death was swallowed up to them
by the victory of Christ over it.
(Alma 27:28)

True Christians

The people who were of the church of God
were also distinguished for their
zeal towards God, and also towards men;
for they were perfectly honest and upright in all things;
and they were firm in the faith of Christ, even unto the end.
(Alma 27:27)

Retaining Hope Through Faith In Christ

Now they did not suppose that salvation
came by the law of Moses; but the law of Moses
did serve to strengthen their faith in Christ;
and thus they did retain a hope through faith,
unto eternal salvation, relying upon
the spirit of prophecy, which spake of
those things to come.
(Alma 25:16)

The Law Points To Christ

But notwithstanding the law of Moses,
they did look forward to the coming of Christ,
considering that the law of Moses
was a type of his coming, and believing
that they must keep those outward performances
until the time that he should be revealed unto them.
(Alma 25:15)

Through The Blood Of Christ

Perhaps, if we should stain our swords again
they can no more be washed bright through
the blood of the Son of our great God,
which shall be shed for the atonement of our sins.
(Alma 24:13)

We Are Cleansed Through Christ

I also thank my God, yea, my great God,
that he hath granted unto us that we might repent of these things,
and also that he hath forgiven us of those our many
sins and murders which we have committed,
and taken away the guilt from our hearts,
through the merits of his Son.
(Alma 24:10)

Redemption Through Christ's Atonement

Since man had fallen he could not merit anything of himself;
but the sufferings and death of Christ atone for their sins,
through faith and repentance, and so forth;
and that he breaketh the bands of death,
that the grave shall have no victory,
and that the sting of death should be
swallowed up in the hopes of glory.
(Alma 22:14)

Christ's Plan Of Redemption

Aaron did expound unto him the scriptures
from the creation of Adam,
laying the fall of man before him,
and their carnal state and also the plan of redemption,
which was prepared from the foundation of the world,
through Christ, for all whosoever
would believe on his name.
(Alma 22:13)

Only In And Through Christ

Now Aaron began to open the scriptures unto them
concerning the coming of Christ,
and also concerning the resurrection of the dead,
and that there could be no redemption for mankind
save it were through the death and sufferings
of Christ, and the atonement of his blood.
(Alma 21:9)

Believe In Jesus Christ

Believest thou that the Son of God shall
come to redeem mankind from their sins?
(Alma 21:7)

Our Blessed Savior

She arose and stood upon her feet,
and cried with a loud voice, saying:
O blessed Jesus, who has saved me
from an awful hell!

O blessed God, have mercy on this people!
(Alma 19:29)

They Knew Their Redeemer

As sure as thou livest, behold,
I have seen my Redeemer;
and he shall come forth,
and be born of a woman,
and he shall redeem all mankind
who believe on his name.
(Alma 19:13)

Christ's Plan Of Redemption

He expounded unto them the plan of redemption,
which was prepared from the foundation of the world;
and he also made known unto them
concerning the coming of Christ.
(Alma 18:39)

Joy In Christ's Coming

And many of the people did inquire concerning
the place where the Son of God should come;
and they were taught that he would
appear unto them after his resurrection;
and this the people did hear
with great joy and gladness.
(Alma 16:20)

Looking Forward To Christ

Holding forth things which must shortly come;
yea, holding forth the coming of the Son of God,
his sufferings and death, and also
the resurrection of the dead.
(Alma 16:19)

Through The Redeeming Mercy of Christ

And it came to pass that Alma said unto him,

taking him by the hand: Believest thou

in the power of Christ unto salvation?

And he answered and said: Yea,

I believe all the words that thou hast taught.

And Alma said: If thou believest

in the redemption of Christ thou canst be healed.

And he said: Yea, I believe according to thy words.

And then Alma cried unto the Lord, saying:

O Lord our God, have mercy on this man,

and heal him according to his faith which is in Christ.

And when Alma had said these words,
Zeezrom leaped upon his feet, and began to walk;
and this was done to the great astonishment
of all the people; and the knowledge of this
went forth throughout all the land.
(Alma 15:6-11)

Faith In Christ Is Power

The Lord had granted unto them power,
according to their faith which was in Christ.
(Alma 14:28)

Christ Is Our Strength

O Lord, give us strength according to
our faith which is in Christ,
even unto deliverance.
(Alma 14:26)

Looking Toward The Christ

Now these ordinances were given after this manner,
that thereby the people might look forward on the Son of God,
it being a type of his order, or it being his order,
and this that they might look forward
to him for a remission of their sins,
that they might enter into the rest of the Lord.
(Alma 13:16)

Cleansed Through The Blood Of Christ

They were called after this holy order,
and were sanctified,
and their garments were washed white
through the blood of the Lamb.
(Alma 13:11)

After The Order Of Christ

Thus they become high priests forever,
after the order of the Son,
the Only Begotten of the Father,
who is without beginning of days or end of years,
who is full of grace, equity, and truth.
And thus it is.
(Alma 13:9)

To Serve As Did Jesus

This high priesthood being after the order of his Son,
which order was from the foundation of the world;
or in other words, being without beginning of days or end of years,
being prepared from eternity to all eternity,
according to his foreknowledge of all things.
(Alma 13:7)

Called Unto Christ

This holy calling being prepared
from the foundation of the world
for such as would not harden their hearts,
being in and through the atonement of
the Only Begotten Son, who was prepared.
(Alma 13:5)

Ordained After Christ

Remember that the Lord God ordained priests,

after his holy order, which was

after the order of his Son,

to teach these things unto the people.

And those priests were ordained

after the order of his Son,

in a manner that thereby

the people might know in what manner

to look forward to his Son for redemption.

(Alma 13:1-2)

Our Rest Is In Christ

Whosoever repenteth,
and hardeneth not his heart,
he shall have claim on mercy
through mine Only Begotten Son,
unto a remission of his sins;
and these shall enter into my rest.
(Alma 12:34)

God's Mercy Is In Christ

God did call on men, in the name of his Son,
(this being the plan of redemption which was laid) saying:
If ye will repent, and harden not your hearts,
then will I have mercy upon you,
through mine Only Begotten Son.
(Alma 12:33)

Freedom Through Jesus Christ

Behold, this is a choice land,
and whatsoever nation shall possess it
shall be free from bondage,
and from captivity, and from
all other nations under heaven,
if they will but serve the God of the land,
who is Jesus Christ, who hath been
manifested by the things
which we have written.
(Ether 2:12)

All Are Saved By Jesus Christ

The spirit and the body shall be

reunited again in its perfect form;

both limb and joint shall be

restored to its proper frame,

even as we now are at this time;

and we shall be brought to stand before God,

knowing even as we know now,

and have a bright recollection of all our guilt.

Now, this restoration shall come to all,

both old and young, both bond and free,

both male and female,

both the wicked and the righteous;

and even there shall not so much

as a hair of their heads be lost;

but every thing shall be restored to

its perfect frame, as it is now, or in the body,

and shall be brought and be arraigned

before the bar of Christ the Son, and God the Father,

and the Holy Spirit, which is one Eternal God,

to be judged according to their works,

whether they be good or whether they be evil.

(Alma 11:43-44)

Saved From Death By Christ

Now, there is a death
which is called a temporal death;
and the death of Christ
shall loose the bands
of this temporal death,
that all shall be raised
from this temporal death.
(Alma 11:42)

Jesus Is The Father Of Our Salvation

Is the Son of God the very Eternal Father?

Yea, he is the very Eternal Father of heaven and of earth,

and all things which in them are;

he is the beginning and the end, the first and the last;

And he shall come into the world to redeem his people;

and he shall take upon him the transgressions

of those who believe on his name;

and these are they that shall have eternal life,

and salvation cometh to none else.

(Alma 11:38-40)

Jesus Was Known By Them

And Zeezrom said again:
Who is he that shall come?
Is it the Son of God?

And he said unto him, Yea.

(Alma 11:32-33)

Jesus Delivers Us

Prepare ye the way of the Lord,
for the time is at hand that all men
shall reap a reward of their works,
according to that which they have been—
if they have been righteous they shall
reap the salvation of their souls,
according to the power and
deliverance of Jesus Christ;
and if they have been evil they shall
reap the damnation of their souls,
according to the power
and captivation of the devil.
(Alma 9:28)

The Glory Of Christ's Coming

Not many days hence

the Son of God shall come in his glory;

and his glory shall be the glory

of the Only Begotten of the Father,

full of grace, equity, and truth,

full of patience, mercy, and long-suffering,

quick to hear the cries of his people

and to answer their prayers.

And behold, he cometh to redeem those

who will be baptized unto repentance,

through faith on his name.

(Alma 9:26-27)

Have Faith In Jesus Christ

Now I say unto you that
ye must repent, and be born again;
for the Spirit saith if ye are not born again
ye cannot inherit the kingdom of heaven;
therefore come and be baptized unto repentance,
that ye may be washed from your sins,
that ye may have faith on the Lamb of God,
who taketh away the sins of the world,
who is mighty to save and to
cleanse from all unrighteousness.
(Alma 7:14)

Jesus Is Our Deliverer

The Son of God suffereth according to the flesh
that he might take upon him the sins of his people,
that he might blot out their transgressions
according to the power of his deliverance;
and now behold, this is the testimony which is in me.
(Alma 7:13)

The Coming & Mission Of Jesus Christ

Behold, the Spirit hath said this much unto me,

saying: Cry unto this people, saying--

Repent ye, and prepare the way of the Lord,

and walk in his paths, which are straight;

for behold, the kingdom of heaven is at hand,

and the Son of God cometh upon the face of the earth.

And behold, he shall be born of Mary, at Jerusalem

which is the land of our forefathers,

she being a virgin, a precious and chosen vessel,

who shall be overshadowed and conceive

by the power of the Holy Ghost,

and bring forth a son, yea, even the Son of God.

And he shall go forth, suffering pains

and afflictions and temptations of every kind;

and this that the word might be fulfilled which saith

he will take upon him the pains

and the sicknesses of his people.

And he will take upon him death,

that he may loose the bands of death

which bind his people;

and he will take upon him their infirmities,

that his bowels may be filled with mercy,

according to the flesh, that he may know according to the flesh

how to succor his people according to their infirmities.

(Alma 7:9-12)

Jesus Christ, Above All Things

Behold, I say unto you
there be many things to come;
and behold, there is one thing
which is of more importance than they all—
for behold, the time is not far distant
that the Redeemer liveth
and cometh among his people.
(Alma 7:7)

By The Testimony Of Christ

And Alma went and began to declare the word of God
unto the church which was established in the valley of Gideon,
according to the revelation of the truth of the word
which had been spoken by his fathers,
and according to the spirit of prophecy which was in him,
according to the testimony of Jesus Christ, the Son of God,
who should come to redeem his people from their sins,
and the holy order by which he was called.
(Alma 6:8)

Come Unto The Good Shepherd

And now I say unto you that
the good shepherd doth call after you;
and if you will hearken unto his voice
he will bring you into his fold,
and ye are his sheep.
(Alma 5:60)

Come Embrace Our Savior

I say unto you, can ye withstand these sayings;
yea, can ye lay aside these things,
and trample the Holy One under your feet?
(Alma 5:53)

They Prophesied Of Christ's Coming

Thus saith the Spirit: Repent, all ye ends of the earth,
for the kingdom of heaven is soon at hand;
yea, the Son of God cometh in his glory,
in his might, majesty, power, and dominion.

Yea, my beloved brethren, I say unto you,
that the Spirit saith: Behold the glory of
the King of all the earth; and also the King of heaven
shall very soon shine forth among all the children of men.
(Alma 5:50)

They Testified Of Jesus Christ

I say unto you, that I know that
Jesus Christ shall come,
yea, the Son, the Only Begotten of the Father,
full of grace, and mercy, and truth.

And behold, it is he that cometh
to take away the sins of the world,
yea, the sins of every man
who steadfastly believeth on his name.
(Alma 5:48)

Called Of Christ

I am called to speak after this manner,
according to the holy order of God,
which is in Christ Jesus.
(Alma 5:44)

Jesus Is Our Shepherd

Behold, I say unto you,
that the good shepherd doth call you;
yea, and in his own name he doth call you,
which is the name of Christ;
and if ye will not hearken unto
the voice of the good shepherd,
to the name by which ye are called,
behold, ye are not the sheep
of the good shepherd.

And now if ye are not the sheep
of the good shepherd,
of what fold are ye?
(Alma 5:38-39)

True Saints Of Christ

Others were abasing themselves,

succoring those who stood in need of their succor,

such as imparting their substance

to the poor and the needy, feeding the hungry,

and suffering all manner of afflictions, for Christ’s sake,

who should come according to the spirit of prophecy;

Looking forward to that day,

thus retaining a remission of their sins;

being filled with great joy because of

the resurrection of the dead,

according to the will and power and deliverance

of Jesus Christ from the bands of death.

(Alma 4:13-14)

A Heritage Of True Christians

It came to pass that whosoever
did not belong to the church of God
began to persecute those
that did belong to the church of God,
and had taken upon them the name of Christ.
(Alma 1:19)

Servants Of Christ

And thus they were instruments
in the hands of God in bringing many
to the knowledge of the truth, yea,
to the knowledge of their Redeemer.
(Mosiah 27:36)

Redeemed By Jesus Christ

My soul hath been redeemed from

the gall of bitterness and bonds of iniquity.

I was in the darkest abyss; but now

I behold the marvelous light of God.

My soul was racked with eternal torment; but

I am snatched, and my soul is pained no more.

I rejected my Redeemer, and denied that

which had been spoken of by our fathers;

but now that they may foresee that he will come,

and that he remembereth every creature of his creating,

he will make himself manifest unto all.

Yea, every knee shall bow,

and every tongue confess before him.

Yea, even at the last day, when all men

shall stand to be judged of him,

then shall they confess that he is God;

then shall they confess, who live without God in the world,

that the judgment of an everlasting punishment

is just upon them; and they shall quake, and tremble,

and shrink beneath the glance of his all-searching eye.

(Mosiah 27:29-31)

It Is The Church Of Jesus Christ

Behold, this is my church;

whosoever is baptized

shall be baptized unto repentance.

And whomsoever ye receive

shall believe in my name;

and him will I freely forgive.

For it is I that taketh upon me

the sins of the world;

for it is I that hath created them;

and it is I that granteth

unto him that believeth

unto the end a place at my right hand.

For behold, in my name

are they called; and if they know me

they shall come forth,

and shall have a place

eternally at my right hand.

And it shall come to pass that

when the second trump shall sound

then shall they that never knew me

come forth and shall stand before me.

And then shall they know that

I am the Lord their God,

that I am their Redeemer;

but they would not be redeemed.

And then I will confess unto them

that I never knew them;

and they shall depart into

everlasting fire prepared for

the devil and his angels.

Therefore I say unto you,

that he that will not hear my voice,

the same shall ye not

receive into my church,

for him I will not receive at the last day.

(Mosiah 26:22-28)

Sing Praise To Jesus

They came to the knowledge of their Redeemer;
yea, and how blessed are they,
for they shall sing to his praise forever.
(Mosiah 18:30)

The Church of Jesus Christ

And they were called
the church of God,
or the church of Christ,
from that time forward.
(Mosiah 18:17)

Great Blessings Through Christ

May the Spirit of the Lord
be poured out upon you;
and may he grant unto you eternal life,
through the redemption of Christ,
whom he has prepared
from the foundation of the world.
(Mosiah 18:13)

Redemption Through Christ

The resurrection of the dead,
and the redemption of the people,
was to be brought to pass through
the power, and sufferings,
and death of Christ,
and his resurrection
and ascension into heaven.
(Mosiah 18:2)

We Teach Of Christ

Teach them that redemption cometh
through Christ the Lord, who is
the very Eternal Father.
(Mosiah 16:15)

Let Us Rejoice In Christ!

If Christ had not risen from the dead,
or have broken the bands of death
that the grave should have no victory,
and that death should have no sting.
there could have been no resurrection.

But there is a resurrection,

therefore the grave hath no victory,

and the sting of death is swallowed up in Christ.

He is the light and the life of the world;

yea, a light that is endless,

that can never be darkened;

yea, and also a life which is endless,

that there can be no more death.

(Mosiah 16:7-9)

Christ, The Redeemer

And now if Christ had not come into the world,
speaking of things to come
as though they had already come,
there could have been no redemption.
(Mosiah 16:6)

Jesus Christ Redeems Them

They are raised to dwell with God

who has redeemed them;

thus they have eternal life through Christ,

who has broken the bands of death.

And these are those who have part in the first resurrection;

and these are they that have died before Christ came,

in their ignorance, not having salvation declared unto them.

And thus the Lord bringeth about the restoration of these;

and they have a part in the first resurrection,

or have eternal life, being redeemed by the Lord.

(Mosiah 15:23-24)

Christ Breaks The Bands Of Death

But behold, the bands of
death shall be broken,
and the Son reignett,
and hath power over the dead;
therefore, he bringeth to pass
the resurrection of the dead.

And there cometh a resurrection,

even a first resurrection;

yea, even a resurrection of those

that have been, and who are,

and who shall be, even until

the resurrection of Christ—

for so shall he be called.

(Mosiah 15:20-21)

Who Are Children Of Christ?

And now I say unto you,
who shall declare his generation?

Behold, I say unto you, that
when his soul has been made an offering for sin
he shall see his seed. And now what say ye?

And who shall be his seed?

Behold I say unto you, that whosoever

has heard the words of the prophets,

yea, all the holy prophets who have prophesied

concerning the coming of the Lord—

I say unto you, that all those who have

hearkened unto their words, and believed that

the Lord would redeem his people,

and have looked forward to that day

for a remission of their sins,

I say unto you, that these are his seed,

or they are the heirs of the kingdom of God.

For these are they whose sins he has borne;

these are they for whom he has died,

to redeem them from their transgressions.

And now, are they not his seed?

(Mosiah 15:10-12)

The Infinte Atonement Of Jesus Christ

And thus the flesh becoming subject to the Spirit,
or the Son to the Father, being one God,
suffereth temptation, and yieldeth not to the temptation,
but suffereth himself to be mocked, and scourged,
and cast out, and disowned by his people.

And after all this, after working many mighty

miracles among the children of men,

he shall be led, yea, even as Isaiah said,

as a sheep before the shearer is dumb,

so he opened not his mouth.

Yea, even so he shall be led, crucified, and slain,

the flesh becoming subject even unto death,

the will of the Son being swallowed up

in the will of the Father.

And thus God breaketh the bands of death,

having gained the victory over death;

giving the Son power to make intercession

for the children of men—

Having ascended into heaven, having the bowels of mercy;

being filled with compassion towards the children of men;

standing betwixt them and justice;

having broken the bands of death,

taken upon himself their iniquity and their transgressions,

having redeemed them, and satisfied the demands of justice.

(Mosiah 15:5-9)

The Coming Of God's Son

I would that ye should
understand that God himself shall
come down among the children of men,
and shall redeem his people.

And because he dwelleth in flesh

he shall be called the Son of God,

and having subjected the flesh

to the will of the Father,

being the Father and the Son—

The Father, because he was
conceived by the power of God;
and the Son, because of the flesh;
thus becoming the Father and Son.
(Mosiah 15:1-3)

The Coming Messiah

Behold, did not Moses prophesy unto them
concerning the coming of the Messiah,
and that God should redeem his people?

Yea, and even all the prophets who have
prophesied ever since the world began—
have they not spoken more or less concerning these things?

Have they not said that God himself should

come down among the children of men,

and take upon him the form of man,

and go forth in mighty power upon the face of the earth?

Yea, and have they not said also that he should

bring to pass the resurrection of the dead, and that

he, himself, should be oppressed and afflicted?

(Mosiah 13:33-35)

Christ As Our Creator

He said unto them that Christ
was the God, the Father of all things,
and said that he should take upon him
the image of man, and it should be the image
after which man was created in the beginning;
or in other words, he said that man was
created after the image of God,
and that God should come down
among the children of men,
and take upon him flesh and blood,
and go forth upon the face of the earth.
(Mosiah 7:27)

The Prophets Knew Of Christ's Coming

And a prophet of the Lord have they slain;
yea, a chosen man of God, who told them
of their wickedness and abominations,
and prophesied of many things which are to come,
yea, even the coming of Christ.
(Mosiah 7:26)

In Christ's Covenant

And it came to pass that
there was not one soul,
except it were little children,
but who had entered
into the covenant
and had taken upon them
the name of Christ.
(Mosiah 6:2)

Salvation Is In Jesus Christ

Therefore, I would that ye should
be steadfast and immovable,
always abounding in good works,
that Christ, the Lord God Omnipotent,
may seal you his,
that you may be brought to heaven,
that ye may have everlasting
salvation and eternal life,
through the wisdom, and power,
and justice, and mercy of
him who created all things,
in heaven and in earth,
who is God above all.
(Mosiah 5:15)

Either Christ's, Or Not

Whosoever shall not
take upon him the name of Christ
must be called by some other name;
therefore, he findeth himself
on the left hand of God.
(Mosiah 5:10)

Take The Name Of Christ

There is no other name given

whereby salvation cometh;

therefore, I would that

ye should take upon you

the name of Christ,

all you that have entered

into the covenant with God

that ye should be obedient

unto the end of your lives.

And it shall come to pass

that whosoever doeth this shall be

found at the right hand of God,

for he shall know

the name by which he is called;

for he shall be called

by the name of Christ.

(Mosiah 5:8-9)

Born Again In Christ Jesus

And now, because of the covenant which ye have made
ye shall be called the children of Christ,
his sons, and his daughters; for behold,
this day he hath spiritually begotten you;
for ye say that your hearts are changed
through faith on his name; therefore, ye are born of him
and have become his sons and his daughters.
(Mosiah 5:7)

Forgiveness & Peace Through Jesus Christ

And they had viewed themselves
in their own carnal state,
even less than the dust of the earth.

And they all cried aloud with one voice, saying:
O have mercy, and apply
the atoning blood of Christ
that we may receive forgiveness of our sins,
and our hearts may be purified;
for we believe in Jesus Christ, the Son of God,
who created heaven and earth, and all things;
who shall come down among the children of men.

And it came to pass that
after they had spoken these words
the Spirit of the Lord came upon them,
and they were filled with joy,
having received a remission of their sins,
and having peace of conscience,
because of the exceeding faith which they had
in Jesus Christ who should come.
(Mosiah 4:2-3)

Faith In Christ Saves Us

And behold, none shall be found
blameless before God,
except it be little children,
only through repentance
and faith on the name of
the Lord God Omnipotent.
(Mosiah 3:21)

All Shall Know Of Jesus

And moreover, I say unto you,
that the time shall come when
the knowledge of a Savior
shall spread throughout every nation,
kindred, tongue, and people.
(Mosiah 3:20)

Only Through The Atonement Of Christ

The natural man is an enemy to God,
and has been from the fall of Adam,
and will be, forever and ever,
unless he yields to the enticings of the Holy Spirit,
and putteth off the natural man
and becometh a saint
through the atonement of Christ the Lord,
and becometh as a child, submissive,
meek, humble, patient, full of love,
willing to submit to all things which the Lord
seeth fit to inflict upon him,
even as a child doth submit to his father.
(Mosiah 3:19)

Only Through The Blood Of Christ

Men drink damnation to their own souls
except they humble themselves
and become as little children,
and believe that salvation was,
and is, and is to come, in and through
the atoning blood of Christ,
the Lord Omnipotent.
(Mosiah 3:18)

Jesus Is The Only Way

And moreover, I say unto you, that there shall be
no other name given nor any other way nor means
whereby salvation can come unto the children of men,
only in and through the name of Christ, the Lord Omnipotent.
(Mosiah 3:17)

They Are Alive In Christ

Even if it were possible
that little children could sin
they could not be saved;
but I say unto you they are blessed;
for behold, as in Adam,
or by nature, they fall,
even so the blood of Christ
atoneth for their sins.
(Mosiah 3:16)

Rejoice In Jesus Christ

The Lord God hath sent his holy prophets
among all the children of men,
to declare these things to every
kindred, nation, and tongue,
that thereby whosoever should
believe that Christ should come,
the same might receive remission of their sins
and rejoice with exceedingly great joy,
even as though he had
already come among them.
(Mosiah 3:13)

Come Partake Of Christ's Atonement

And lo, he cometh unto his own,

that salvation might come

unto the children of men

even through faith on his name;

and even after all this

they shall consider him a man,

and say that he hath a devil,

and shall scourge him,

and shall crucify him.

And he shall rise the third day from the dead;

and behold, he standeth to judge the world;

and behold, all these things are done

that a righteous judgment might

come upon the children of men.

For behold, and also his blood atoneth

for the sins of those who have fallen

by the transgression of Adam,

who have died not knowing

the will of God concerning them,

or who have ignorantly sinned.

But wo, wo unto him who knoweth

that he rebelleth against God!

For salvation cometh to none such

except it be through repentance

and faith on the Lord Jesus Christ.

(Mosiah 3:9-12)

Jesus Christ, The Son Of God

Behold, the time cometh, and is not far distant,
that with power, the Lord Omnipotent who reigneth,
who was, and is from all eternity to all eternity,
shall come down from heaven among the children of men,
and shall dwell in a tabernacle of clay,
and shall go forth amongst men, working mighty miracles,
such as healing the sick, raising the dead,
causing the lame to walk, the blind to receive their sight,
and the deaf to hear, and curing all manner of diseases.

And he shall cast out devils, or the evil spirits

which dwell in the hearts of the children of men.

And lo, he shall suffer temptations,

and pain of body, hunger, thirst, and fatigue,

even more than man can suffer, except it be unto death;

for behold, blood cometh from every pore,

so great shall be his anguish for the wickedness

and the abominations of his people.

And he shall be called Jesus Christ, the Son of God,

the Father of heaven and earth, the Creator of

all things from the beginning;

and his mother shall be called Mary.

(Mosiah 3:5-8)

That They May Come Unto Christ

And my prayer to God is concerning my brethren,
that they may once again come to
the knowledge of God, yea, the redemption of Christ;
that they may once again be a delightsome people.
(Words of Mormon 1:8)

Prophecies Of Christ's Coming

And the things which are
upon these plates pleasing me,
because of the prophecies
of the coming of Christ;
and my fathers knowing that
many of them have been fulfilled;
yea, and I also know that
as many things as have been
prophesied concerning us
down to this day have been fulfilled,
and as many as go beyond this day
must surely come to pass.
(Words of Mormon 1:4)

Undying Desire To Witness For Christ

And it is many hundred years after the coming of Christ
that I deliver these records into the hands of my son;
and it supposeth me that he will witness
the entire destruction of my people.

But may God grant that he may survive them,
that he may write somewhat concerning them,
and somewhat concerning Christ,
that perhaps some day it may profit them.
(Words of Mormon 1:2)

Come Unto Jesus Christ

I would that ye should come unto Christ,
who is the Holy One of Israel,
and partake of his salvation,
and the power of his redemption.

Yea, come unto him,
and offer your whole souls
as an offering unto him,
and continue in fasting and praying,
and endure to the end;
and as the Lord liveth ye will be saved.
(Omni 1:26)

Jesus Is The Holy One

Come unto God,
the Holy One of Israel.
(Omni 1:25)

Redemption Is In Christ

And I soon go to the place of my rest,
which is with my Redeemer;
for I know that in him I shall rest.

And I rejoice in the day when
my mortal shall put on immortality,
and shall stand before him;
then shall I see his face with pleasure,
and he will say unto me:
Come unto me, ye blessed,
there is a place prepared for you
in the mansions of my Father.
(Enos 1:27)

Ask In Christ's Name

Whatsoever thing ye shall ask in faith,
believing that ye shall receive
in the name of Christ,
ye shall receive it.
(Enos 1:15)

Saved By Faith In Christ

And there came a voice unto me, saying:

Enos, thy sins are forgiven thee,

and thou shalt be blessed.

And I, Enos, knew that God could not lie;

wherefore, my guilt was swept away.

And I said: Lord, how is it done?

And he said unto me:

Because of thy faith in Christ,

whom thou hast never before heard nor seen.

And many years pass away before

he shall manifest himself in the flesh;

wherefore, go to, thy faith hath made thee whole.

(Enos 1:5-8)

Be Faithful To Christ

And he said: I fear lest I have
committed the unpardonable sin,
for I have lied unto God;
for I denied the Christ,
and said that I believed the scriptures;
and they truly testify of him.

And because I have thus lied unto God
I greatly fear lest my case shall be awful;
but I confess unto God.
(Jacob 7:19)

Confessing Christ

And it came to pass that on the morrow
the multitude were gathered together;
and he spake plainly unto them,
and confessed the Christ,
and the power of the Holy Ghost,
and the ministering of angels.
(Jacob 7:17)

Do Not Tempt Our Lord

And I said unto him:
What am I that I should tempt God
to show unto thee a sign in
the thing which thou knowest to be true?

Yet thou wilt deny it,
because thou art of the devil.

Nevertheless, not my will be done;
but if God shall smite thee,
let that be a sign unto thee that he has power,
both in heaven and in earth;
and also, that Christ shall come.

And thy will, O Lord, be done, and not mine.
(Jacob 7:14)

Standing Firm For Christ

And I said unto him:

Deniest thou the Christ who shall come?

And he said: If there should be a Christ,

I would not deny him; but I know

that there is no Christ,

neither has been, nor ever will be.

And I said unto him:

Believest thou the scriptures?

And he said, Yea.

And I said unto him:

Then ye do not understand them;

for they truly testify of Christ.

Behold, I say unto you that

none of the prophets have written,

nor prophesied, save they have

spoken concerning this Christ.

And this is not all—

it has been made manifest unto me,

for I have heard and seen;

and it also has been made manifest

unto me by the power of the Holy Ghost;

wherefore, I know

if there should be no atonement made

all mankind must be lost.

(Jacob 7:9-12)

Faith In Our Savior

I, Jacob, had faith in
Christ who should come.
(Jacob 7:3)

Do Not Reject Jesus

Behold, will ye reject these words?

Will ye reject the words of the prophets;

and will ye reject all the words which have

been spoken concerning Christ,

after so many have spoken concerning him;

and deny the good word of Christ,

and the power of God,

and the gift of the Holy Ghost,

and quench the Holy Spirit,

and make a mock of the great plan of

redemption, which hath been laid for you?

Know ye not that if ye will do these things,

that the power of the redemption

and the resurrection, which is in Christ,

will bring you to stand with shame

and awful guilt before the bar of God?

(Jacob 6:8-9)

Come To Know Jesus Christ

And now, beloved, marvel not that I tell you these things;
for why not speak of the atonement of Christ,
and attain to a perfect knowledge of him,
as to attain to the knowledge of
a resurrection and the world to come?
(Jacob 4:12)

The First-Fruits Of Christ

Wherefore, be reconciled unto
him through the atonement of Christ,
his Only Begotten Son,
and ye may obtain a resurrection,
according to the power of
the resurrection which is in Christ,
and be presented as the first-fruits
of Christ unto God, having faith,
and obtained a good hope of glory in him
before he manifesteth himself in the flesh.
(Jacob 4:11)

All The Prophets Testify Of Christ

For this intent have we written these things,
that they may know that we knew of Christ,
and we had a hope of his glory
many hundred years before his coming;
and not only we ourselves had a hope of his glory,
but also all the holy prophets which were before us.

Behold, they believed in Christ

and worshiped the Father in his name,

and also we worship the Father in his name.

And for this intent we keep the law of Moses,

it pointing our souls to him; and for this cause

it is sanctified unto us for righteousness,

even as it was accounted unto Abraham

in the wilderness to be obedient

unto the commands of God

in offering up his son Isaac, which is

a similitude of God and his Only Begotten Son.

(Jacob 4:4-5)

A Christ-Centered Life

And after ye have obtained a hope in Christ
ye shall obtain riches, if ye seek them;
and ye will seek them for the intent to do good—
to clothe the naked, and to feed the hungry,
and to liberate the captive, and administer
relief to the sick and the afflicted.
(Jacob 2:19)

Becoming A Disciple Of Christ

We would to God that we could
persuade all men not to rebel against God,
to provoke him to anger,
but that all men would believe in Christ,
and view his death, and suffer his cross
and bear the shame of the world.
(Jacob 1:8)

Call Them Unto Christ

We labored diligently among our people,
that we might persuade them to come unto Christ,
and partake of the goodness of God,
that they might enter into his rest.
(Jacob 1:7)

They Knew Our Savior

And we also had many revelations,
and the spirit of much prophecy;
wherefore, we knew of Christ
and his kingdom, which should come.
(Jacob 1:6)

These Things Testify Of Christ

If there were preaching which was sacred,
or revelation which was great, or prophesying,
I should engraven the heads of them upon these plates,
and touch upon them as much as it were possible,
for Christ’s sake, and for the sake of our people.
(Jacob 1:4)

Hearken To The Words Of Christ

And you that will not partake of the goodness of God,
and respect the words of the Jews,
and also my words, and the words
which shall proceed forth out of
the mouth of the Lamb of God,
behold, I bid you an everlasting farewell,
for these words shall condemn you at the last day.
(2 Nephi 33:14)

To The Kingdom Of God & Christ

I pray the Father in the name of Christ
that many of us, if not all,
may be saved in his kingdom
at that great and last day.
(2 Nephi 33:12)

This Is Christ's Word

And now, my beloved brethren,

and also Jew, and all ye ends of the earth,

hearken unto these words and believe in Christ;

and if ye believe not in these words believe in Christ.

And if ye shall believe in Christ

ye will believe in these words,

for they are the words of Christ,

and he hath given them unto me;

and they teach all men that they should do good.

And if they are not the words of Christ, judge ye—

for Christ will show unto you,

with power and great glory, that they are his words,

at the last day; and you and I shall

stand face to face before his bar;

and ye shall know that I have been

commanded of him to write these things,

notwithstanding my weakness.

(2 Nephi 33:10-11)

Our Hope Is In Christ Alone

I have charity for the Jew.

I also have charity for the Gentiles.

But behold, for none of these can I hope

except they shall be reconciled unto Christ.

(2 Nephi 33:8-9)

Together In Christ

I have charity for my people,
and great faith in Christ that
I shall meet many souls
spotless at his judgment-seat.
(2 Nephi 33:7)

Glory In Christ

I glory in plainness;
I glory in truth;
I glory in my Jesus,
for he hath redeemed
my soul from hell.
(2 Nephi 33:6)
