2 Nephi 25:18

Wherefore, he shall bring forth his words unto them,

which words shall judge them at the last day,

for they shall be given them for the purpose of convincing them

of the true Messiah, who was rejected by them;

and unto the convincing of them

that they need not look forward any more for a Messiah to come,

for there should not any come, save it should be a false Messiah

which should deceive the people;

for there is save one Messiah spoken of by the prophets,

and that Messiah is he who should be rejected of the Jews.

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 25:27

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 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.
