and the mercies of God in sparing their lives,

that they were not swallowed up in the sea.

2 Nephi 1:3

And he also spake unto them concerning the land of promise,

which they had obtained —

how merciful the Lord had been in warning us

that we should flee out of the land of Jerusalem.

For, behold, said he, I have seen a vision,

in which I know that Jerusalem is destroyed;

and had we remained in Jerusalem we should also have perished.

2 Nephi 1:5

But, said he, notwithstanding our afflictions,

we have obtained a land of promise,

a land which is choice above all other lands;

a land which the Lord God hath covenanted with me

should be a land for the inheritance of my seed.

Yea, the Lord hath covenanted this land unto me, and to my children forever,

and also all those who should be led out of other countries

by the hand of the Lord.

2 Nephi 1:7

Wherefore, this land is consecrated unto him whom he shall bring.

And if it so be that they shall serve him

according to the commandments which he hath given,

it shall be a land of liberty unto them;

if so, it shall be because of iniquity;

for if iniquity shall abound

cursed shall be the land for their sakes,

but unto the righteous it shall be blessed forever.

Rebel no more against your brother,

whose views have been glorious,

and who hath kept the commandments from the time that we left Jerusalem;

and who hath been an instrument in the hands of God,

in bringing us forth into the land of promise;

nevertheless, ye sought to take away his life;

yea, and he hath suffered much sorrow because of you.

And I exceedingly fear and tremble because of you,

lest he shall suffer again;

for behold, ye have accused him

that he sought power and authority over you;

but I know that he hath not sought for power nor authority over you,

but he hath sought the glory of God, and your own eternal welfare.

2 Nephi 1:26

And ye have murmured because he hath been plain unto you.

Ye say that he hath used sharpness;

ye say that he hath been angry with you;

but behold, his sharpness was the sharpness of the power

of the word of God, which was in him;

and that which ye call anger was the truth,

according to that which is in God,

which he could not restrain,

manifesting boldly concerning your iniquities.

which opened his mouth to utterance that he could not shut it.

for thou hast beheld that in the fulness of time

he cometh to bring salvation unto men.

wherefore, thou art blessed

and salvation is free.

Wherefore, how great the importance

to make these things known unto the inhabitants of the earth,

that they may know that there is no flesh

that can dwell in the presence of God,

save it be through the merits, and mercy, and grace of the Holy Messiah,

both things to act and things to be acted upon.

And to bring about his eternal purposes in the end of man,

after he had created our first parents,

and the beasts of the field and the fowls of the air,

and in fine, all things which are created,

it must needs be that there was an opposition;

even the forbidden fruit in opposition to the tree of life;

the one being sweet and the other bitter.

Wherefore, man could not act for himself

save it should be that he was enticed by the one or the other.

must needs suppose that an angel of God,

according to that which is written,

wherefore, he became a devil,

having sought that which was evil before God.

2 Nephi 2:18

And because he had fallen from heaven,

and had become miserable forever,

he sought also the misery of all mankind.

Wherefore, he said unto Eve,

who is the father of all lies,

wherefore he said:

Partake of the forbidden fruit, and ye shall not die,

but ye shall be as God, knowing good and evil.

according to the will of God,

that they might repent while in the flesh;

wherefore, their state became a state of probation,

for he showed unto all men that they were lost,

because of the transgression of their parents.

after they were created;

and they must have remained forever, and had no end.

2 Nephi 2:26

And the Messiah cometh in the fulness of time,

that he may redeem the children of men from the fall.

And because that they are redeemed from the fall

they have become free forever,

knowing good from evil;

to act for themselves and not to be acted upon,

save it be by the punishment of the law at the great and last day,

according to the commandments which God hath given.

2 Nephi 2:27

Wherefore, men are free according to the flesh;

and all things are given them which are expedient unto man.

And they are free to choose liberty and eternal life,

through the great Mediator of all men,

or to choose captivity and death,

according to the captivity and power of the devil;

for he seeketh that all men might be miserable like unto himself.

2 Nephi 2:29

And not choose eternal death, according to the will of the flesh

and the evil which is therein,

which giveth the spirit of the devil power to captivate,

to bring you down to hell,

that he may reign over you in his own kingdom.
