2 Nephi 25:16, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29

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 25:23

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.
