2 Nephi 9:7, 9, 39
2 Nephi 9:7
Wherefore, it must needs be an infinite atonement —
save it should be an infinite atonement
this corruption could not put on incorruption.
Wherefore, the first judgment which came upon man
must needs have remained to an endless duration.
And if so, this flesh must have laid down to rot
and to crumble to its mother earth, to rise no more.
2 Nephi 9:9
And our spirits must have become like unto him,
and we become devils, angels to a devil,
to be shut out from the presence of our God,
and to remain with the father of lies,
in misery, like unto himself;
yea, to that being who beguiled our first parents,
who transformeth himself nigh unto an angel of light,
and stirreth up the children of men unto secret combinations of murder
and all manner of secret works of darkness.
2 Nephi 9:39
O, my beloved brethren,
remember the awfulness in transgressing against that Holy God,
and also the awfulness of yielding to the enticings of that cunning one.
Remember, to be carnally-minded is death,
and to be spiritually-minded is life eternal.
