2 Nephi 25:16

And after they have been scattered,

and the Lord God hath scourged them

by other nations for the space of many generations,

yea, even down from generation to generation

until they shall be persuaded to believe in Christ, the Son of God,

and the atonement, which is infinite for all mankind —

and when that day shall come that they shall believe in Christ,

and worship the Father in his name, with pure hearts and clean hands,

and look not forward any more for another Messiah,

then, at that time, the day will come

that it must needs be expedient that they should believe these things.

2 Nephi 25:19

For according to the words of the prophets,

the Messiah cometh in six hundred years

from the time that my father left Jerusalem;

and according to the words of the prophets,

and also the word of the angel of God,

his name shall be Jesus Christ, the Son of God.

2 Nephi 25:20

And now, my brethren, I have spoken plainly that ye cannot err.

And as the Lord God liveth that brought Israel up out of the land of Egypt,

and gave unto Moses power that he should heal the nations

after they had been bitten by the poisonous serpents,

if they would cast their eyes unto the serpent which he did raise up before them,

and also gave him power that he should smite the rock

and the water should come forth;

yea, behold I say unto you, that as these things are true,

and as the Lord God liveth,

there is none other name given under heaven

save it be this Jesus Christ, of which I have spoken,

whereby man can be saved.

2 Nephi 25:23

For we labor diligently to write,

to persuade our children, and also our brethren,

to believe in Christ, and to be reconciled to God;

for we know that it is by grace that we are saved,

after all we can do.

2 Nephi 25:24

And, notwithstanding we believe in Christ,

we keep the law of Moses,

and look forward with steadfastness unto Christ,

until the law shall be fulfilled.

2 Nephi 25:25

For, for this end was the law given;

wherefore the law hath become dead unto us,

and we are made alive in Christ because of our faith;

yet we keep the law because of the commandments.

2 Nephi 25:26

And we talk of Christ,

we rejoice in Christ,

we preach of Christ,

we prophesy of Christ,

and we write according to our prophecies,

that our children may know to what source they may look

for a remission of their sins.

2 Nephi 25:27

Wherefore, we speak concerning the law

that our children may know the deadness of the law;

and they, by knowing the deadness of the law,

may look forward unto that life which is in Christ,

and know for what end the law was given.

And after the law is fulfilled in Christ,

that they need not harden their hearts against him

when the law ought to be done away.

2 Nephi 25:28

And now behold, my people, ye are a stiffnecked people;

wherefore, I have spoken plainly unto you,

that ye cannot misunderstand.

And the words which I have spoken shall stand as a testimony against you;

for they are sufficient to teach any man the right way;

for the right way is to believe in Christ and deny him not;

for by denying him ye also deny the prophets and the law.

2 Nephi 25:29

And now behold, I say unto you

that the right way is to believe in Christ, and deny him not;

and Christ is the Holy One of Israel;

wherefore ye must bow down before him,

and worship him with all your might, mind, and strength, and your whole soul;

and if ye do this ye shall in nowise be cast out.

2 Nephi 26:1

And after Christ shall have risen from the dead

he shall show himself unto you, my children, and my beloved brethren;

and the words which he shall speak unto you shall be the law which ye shall do.

2 Nephi 26:8

But 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 26:12

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;

2 Nephi 27:11

And the day cometh that the words of the book which were sealed

shall be read upon the house tops;

and they shall be read by the power of Christ;

and all things shall be revealed unto the children of men

which ever have been among the children of men,

and which ever will be even unto the end of the earth.
