As I have been reading the Book of Mormon this year, I keep thinking back to a talk by President Russell M. Nelson in 2017 when he asked us to consider how our lives would be different without the Book of Mormon.
In the Come, Follow Me schedule, we are still in the “small plates.” These are the plates where Nephi writes”… the ministry and the prophecies, the more plain and precious parts of them…” (1 Nephi 19:3). And in that small space, he chooses to copy so many words of Isaiah. He took the time to make sure that those wonderful prophecies of Jesus Christ would be saved.
Because of the Book of Mormon, we have more…
- Light
- Truth
- Insights
- Knowledge
- Help
- Peace
- Confidence
- Access to words of God
With every page, I find something new to help me as the world continues to change around us.
The Book of Mormon was truly written for us, in our day.
