Nephi
then exhorted us all to follow Christ.
He
showed us the way when He chose to be baptized.
Though
Jesus was perfect—He had no sin to cleanse—
He
wanted us all to follow God’s commandments.
Jesus
tells all men, “Do the things [ye’ve] seen me do.”
That’s
why we must all repent and be baptized, too.
Next,
we get the Holy Ghost. These steps form the gate
To a
path Nephi described as “narrow and strait.”
As we
walk this path, we’re enduring to the end;
We must
keep our hope bright and love God and all men.
If we
keep on feasting upon the Savior’s word,
We’ve
been told we’ll have eternal life by the Lord.
2 Nephi 32
We’ve
also been told, if the Spirit’s what we seek,
With
the tongue of angels we’ll be able to speak.
If we read
the scriptures and come to know their truth
The
words of Christ will tell us all that we should do.
Though
the evil spirit will say we must not pray
Nephi
tells us plainly that we must pray always!
If we
pray o’er all things and give the Lord control.
All we
do will be for the welfare of our soul.
2 Nephi 33
Although
Nephi felt less than mighty with the pen,
When he
spoke, his words went straight to the hearts of men.
This
can also happen for us if we’re worthy.
The
Spirit will teach any who are listening!
But if
they are hardened and refuse to be taught
They’ll
cast them away—esteem them as things of naught.
So, if
we believe in Christ, it can be inferred
We’ll
believe this book, for it’s full of Jesus’s words.
There
is power in the last words Nephi would say,
“The
Lord hath commanded me, and I must obey.”
