However, because Benjamin wanted to stand blameless before the God, to whom he would soon return (Mosiah 2:27), he chose to speak of Christ. What unfolds is perhaps one of the most compelling arguments for the need of Christ’s atonement. The Book of Mosiah states: 20 I say unto you, my brethren, that if you should render all the thanks and praise which your whole soul has power to possess, to that God who has created you, and

Shows Improvement: The more I study the Book of Mormon the more I understand that it was written for us. Sometimes I feel like the characters of the Book of Mormon are out of touch or hard to relate to, but in reality they represent every facet of modern society. They help us see the good in the world, they help us see the evil in our lives, and ultimately warn us from the swaying philosophies of the world that lead men into sin. When I read about Nephi and his brothers and the fights that they had

of two major parts, one regarding types of governments within Nephite society and a juxtaposition of ancient American democracy and modern American republicanism. Noel B Reynolds of BYU stated in his work entitled Government and Legal History in the Book of Mormon, that The Nephites were ruled by hereditary kings from 550 to 91 B.C., when the rule changed to a reign of judges. After the coming of Christ, two centuries of peace under the government of his Church were followed by a breakdown of society

no more contention in all the land of Zarahemla, among all the people who belonged to king Benjamin, so that king Benjamin had continual peace all the remainder of his days. 2 And it came to pass that he had three sons; and he called their names Mosiah, and Helorum, and Helaman. And he caused that they should be taught in all the language of his fathers, that thereby they might become men of understanding; and that they might know concerning the prophecies which had been spoken by the mouths of

the Book of Mormon to study has always been the many names by which Jesus is known. There is special significance to be found within each title, and a deeper understanding to be discovered as I connect these titles to their functions and realize how each role Jesus plays blesses my life. King Benjamin, perhaps the most eloquent Book of Mormon character to testify of Jesus, introduces many of these titles of Christ during his speech to the Nephites. Thanks to this special passage in the Book of Mormon

the Lord feels especially interested in the welfare of the downtrodden of his people. Other passages in the book offer similar insights as to how the Lord feels about the poor and downcast of society, and how it’s imperative to give them aid. Ultimately, it is the responsibility of us, the Lord’s people, to care for the downtrodden of society. A word commonly used throughout the book of Isaiah about the poor is “judgement”.

Believe it or not, this is not a statement recently made on some left-wing political talk show, this is directly from the Gospel of Jesus Christ. This same message is echoed throughout all the books of scripture. The doctrine of Jesus Christ teaches the principles of
