The Words Of Christ

Angels speak by the power of the Holy Ghost;
wherefore, they speak the words of Christ.

Wherefore, I said unto you,
feast upon the words of Christ;
for behold, the words of Christ
will tell you all things what ye should do.
(2 Nephi 32:3)

No Other Way But Christ

And now, behold, this is the way;
and there is none other way
nor name given under heaven
whereby man can be saved
in the kingdom of God.

And now, behold,
this is the doctrine of Christ,
and the only and true doctrine
of the Father, and of the Son,
and of the Holy Ghost,
which is one God, without end.
(2 Nephi 31:21)

Steady & Sure In Christ Jesus

Wherefore, ye must press forward
with a steadfastness in Christ,
having a perfect brightness of hope,
and a love of God and of all men.

Wherefore, if ye shall press forward,
feasting upon the word of Christ,
and endure to the end,
behold, thus saith the Father:
Ye shall have eternal life.
(2 Nephi 31:20)

Our Lord & Redeemer

Ye have not come thus far
save it were by the word of Christ
with unshaken faith in him,
relying wholly upon the merits
of him who is mighty to save.
(2 Nephi 31:19)

God's Spirit Points Us To Christ

And then are ye in this strait and narrow path
which leads to eternal life;
yea, ye have entered in by the gate;
ye have done according to the commandments
of the Father and the Son;
and ye have received the Holy Ghost,
which witnesses of the Father and the Son,
unto the fulfilling of the promise
which he hath made, that
if ye entered in by the way ye should receive.
(2 Nephi 31:18)

Follow Jesus To The End

And now, I know by this that
unless a man shall endure to the end,
in following the example of
the Son of the living God,
he cannot be saved.

Wherefore, do the things which
I have told you I have seen that
your Lord and your Redeemer should do;
for, for this cause have they
been shown unto me.
(2 Nephi 31:16-17)

Remain True To Our Savior

Thus came the voice of the Son unto me, saying:
After ye have repented of your sins,
and witnessed unto the Father that
ye are willing to keep my commandments,
by the baptism of water,
and have received the baptism
of fire and of the Holy Ghost,
and can speak with a new tongue,
yea, even with the tongue of angels,
and after this should deny me,
it would have been better for you
that ye had not known me.
(2 Nephi 31:14)

Taking The Name Of Christ

And also, the voice of the Son came unto me,
saying: He that is baptized in my name,
to him will the Father give the Holy Ghost,
like unto me; wherefore, follow me,
and do the things which ye have seen me do.

Wherefore, I know that if ye shall follow the Son,
with full purpose of heart, acting no hypocrisy and
no deception before God, but with real intent,
repenting of your sins, witnessing unto the Father
that ye are willing to take upon you
the name of Christ, by baptism—
yea, by following your Lord and your Savior
down into the water, according to his word,
behold, then shall ye receive the Holy Ghost;
yea, then cometh the baptism of fire and of the Holy Ghost;
and then can ye speak with the tongue of angels,
and shout praises unto the Holy One of Israel.

Like Unto Jesus

And he said unto the children of men: Follow thou me.

Wherefore, can we follow Jesus save we shall
be willing to keep the commandments of the Father?

And the Father said: Repent ye, repent ye,
and be baptized in the name of my Beloved Son.

Come Follow Jesus

And now, I would ask of you,
wherein the Lamb of God
did fulfil all righteousness
in being baptized by water?

Know ye not that he was holy?

But notwithstanding he being holy,
he showeth unto the children of men that,
according to the flesh he
humbleth himself before the Father,
and witnesseth unto the Father
that he would be obedient unto him
in keeping his commandments.

Wherefore, after he was baptized with water
the Holy Ghost descended upon him
in the form of a dove.

And again, it showeth unto the children of men
the straitness of the path,
and the narrowness of the gate,
by which they should enter,
he having set the example before them.

Baptized As Was Jesus

And now, if the Lamb of God, he being holy,
should have need to be baptized by water,
to fulfil all righteousness,
O then, how much more need
have we, being unholy,
to be baptized, yea, even by water!
(2 Nephi 31:5)

Behold The Lamb Of God

I would that ye should remember that
I have spoken unto you concerning
that prophet which the Lord showed unto me,
that should baptize the Lamb of God,
which should take away the sins of the world.
(2 Nephi 31:4)

Speak Of Christ's Doctrine

The things which I have written sufficeth me,
save it be a few words which I must speak
concerning the doctrine of Christ.
(2 Nephi 31:2)

Gathered Unto Christ

And it shall come to pass that
the Jews which are scattered also
shall begin to believe in Christ;
and they shall begin to gather in
upon the face of the land;
and as many as shall believe in Christ
shall also become a delightsome people.
(2 Nephi 30:7)

Restored And Rejoicing In Christ

The gospel of Jesus Christ
shall be declared among them;
wherefore, they shall be restored
unto the knowledge of their fathers,
and also to the knowledge of Jesus Christ,
which was had among their fathers.

And then shall they rejoice;
for they shall know that it is a blessing
unto them from the hand of God.
(2 Nephi 30:5-6)

Accepting Jesus

The Lord covenanteth with none
save it be with them that repent
and believe in his Son,
who is the Holy One of Israel.
(2 Nephi 30:2)

We Rejoice In Christ

The meek also shall increase,
and their joy shall be in the Lord,
and the poor among men
shall rejoice in the Holy One of Israel.
(2 Nephi 27:30)

The Savior Of All Mankind

And as I spake concerning
the convincing of the Jews,
that Jesus is the very Christ,
it must needs be that the Gentiles
be convinced also that Jesus
is the Christ, the Eternal God;

And that he manifesteth himself
unto all those who believe in him,
by the power of the Holy Ghost;
yea, unto every nation, kindred,
tongue, and people,
working mighty miracles, signs,
and wonders, among the children of men
according to their faith.

Peace In Christ

The Son of Righteousness
shall appear unto them;
and he shall heal them,
and they shall have peace with him.
(2 Nephi 26:9)

Steady & Secure In Christ

Behold, the righteous that hearken
unto the words of the prophets,
and destroy them not,
but look forward unto Christ
with steadfastness
for the signs which are given,
notwithstanding all persecution—
behold, they are they
which shall not perish.
(2 Nephi 26:8)

Prepared For Christ?

And after the Messiah shall come there shall be
signs given unto my people of his birth,
and also of his death and resurrection;
and great and terrible shall that day
be unto the wicked, for they shall perish.
(2 Nephi 26:3)
