Segment 3 of 6 [#544]
The Voice of Jesus Christ Proclaims His Mission
3 Nephi 9:13 - 3 Nephi 9:22
Duration: 2:33
3 Nephi 9:13
O all ye that are spared because ye were more righteous than they,
will ye not now return unto me, and repent of your sins, and be converted,
that I may heal you?
3 Nephi 9:14
Yea, verily I say unto you,
if ye will come unto me ye shall have eternal life.
Behold, mine arm of mercy is extended towards you,
and whosoever will come, him will I receive;
and blessed are those who come unto me.
3 Nephi 9:15
Behold, I am Jesus Christ the Son of God.
I created the heavens and the earth, and all things that in them are.
I was with the Father from the beginning.
I am in the Father, and the Father in me;
and in me hath the Father glorified his name.
3 Nephi 9:16
I came unto my own, and my own received me not.
And the scriptures concerning my coming are fulfilled.
3 Nephi 9:17
And as many as have received me,
to them have I given to become the sons of God;
and even so will I to as many as shall believe on my name,
for behold, by me redemption cometh,
and in me is the law of Moses fulfilled.
3 Nephi 9:18
I am the light and the life of the world.
I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end.
3 Nephi 9:19
And ye shall offer up unto me no more the shedding of blood;
yea, your sacrifices and your burnt offerings shall be done away,
for I will accept none of your sacrifices and your burnt offerings.
3 Nephi 9:20
And ye shall offer for a sacrifice unto me a broken heart and a contrite spirit.
And whoso cometh unto me with a broken heart and a contrite spirit,
him will I baptize with fire and with the Holy Ghost,
even as the Lamanites,
because of their faith in me at the time of their conversion,
were baptized with fire and with the Holy Ghost,
and they knew it not.
3 Nephi 9:21
Behold, I have come unto the world
to bring redemption unto the world,
to save the world from sin.
3 Nephi 9:22
Therefore, whoso repenteth and cometh unto me as a little child,
him will I receive,
for of such is the kingdom of God.
Behold, for such I have laid down my life, and have taken it up again;
therefore repent, and come unto me ye ends of the earth, and be saved.
