3 Nephi 1-5

For class today, I read 3 Nephi 1-5. I wrote it down and have only had time to put it up right now!!

Chapter1- In this chapter...CHRIST IS BORN!!! :) It is so amazing to me that these people were told the signs straight from prophets and they saw the signs but still didn't believe!! It is so ridiculous that Satan had such a hold on their hearts that they wouldn't even believe the signs of the coming of our Savior!! I know that we have signs all around us today telling us of the second coming of Christ to the earth! I know that if we will follow the signs and warnings from our prophets that we can and will stand blameless before Him when He comes.
Chapter 2- In this chapter, the Nephites and Lamanites join together for a common cause: to fight the Gadianton robbers. Many are converted and they fight for freedom, for those whom they love, and for truth. It is just like today!! We can join with those that believe the same things as we do, whether it is the gospel or other things, and we can fight for what we believe in! It is so important that we fight for the things we know are true so that we may stand before God in the last day knowing that we did the right things and that we tried our hardest.
Chapter 3- I LOVE LACHONEUS!!! He is the coolest guy ever! In this chapter the Gadianton robbers are attacking the people and trying to take their lands and become rulers over them. Lachoneus refuses to give up the land to the robbers and tells the people to stand and fight for what they believe is right and to not falter. He is such an example! We will encounter many intolerable things in our lives and I know that if we stand with the same faith as Lachoneus, that we will be unstoppable and we will always be a good example to those around us.
Chapter 4- Because of the faith of the Nephites and their righteous rulers, they beat the Gadianton robbers. It is important to remember that we can do the same thing!! We are at war with Satan and his followers. We need to stand firm before him and know that God is on our side and that with His help we can overcome the feeble attempts of Satan to overtake us.
Chapter 5- Repentance...it is a main point in this chapter and in the whole Book of Mormon. I have never realized how big it actually is. It is so important that we realize that all we have is from God and that all He asks of us is that we try our hardest and repent when we have sinned. That is all He asks of us!! To me, it seems like we owe Him a lot more than just that! We need to live everyday to the best of our ability! We need to try our hardest to follow His commandments and repent when we have done wrong! He is so loving and He cares for us so much! We need to try our hardest to please Him!!
