As recorded in 3 Nephi 24–25, Jesus Christ provided the Book of Mormon people with the content of Malachi 3–4, telling the Nephites to write them down (3 Nephi 24:1). The words of Malachi, one of the later Old Testament prophets, were important enough that the Father commanded Jesus to supply the Nephites with his words. The likely reason for this is because Malachi’s words tell about those who will be destroyed in the Second Coming and those who will survive the Second Coming, which is specifically what Christ was teaching in this section of 3 Nephi.
Have you ever noticed that the enemy of our souls preys upon us in our weak moments? Find deliverance in the Word of God. We will look at Luke 4 today.
For more than 100 years, some Latter-day Saints have discussed how 3 Nephi might be considered a “fifth gospel” alongside Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. The account in 3 Nephi does indeed have much in common with other gospel accounts, both canonical and non-canonical. Similarities include its opening with signs of Christ’s birth, its description of a forerunner who baptizes (Nephi), its signs confirming Christ’s death, and the recording of similar teachings. As a post-resurrection account, it provides a powerful witness of the most central gospel truth: that Jesus Christ lives and that He is the Son of God.

When Jesus administered the sacrament to his Old World disciples, he said it represented his body which was about to be given and broken in sacrifice. Among the Nephites, however, he said it represented the glorious, resurrected body he had shown them. Because of this, for Latter-day Saints today, the sacrament is an opportunity to remember both the Savior's sacrifice and his glorious resurrection.
Once when I was teaching an institute class on the Book of Mormon, I lined up two scriptures and asked a question that I thought would be easy. As it turned out, it wasn't.There is a point in Nephi's record of the wilderness journey, he and his family take from Jerusalem , where he pauses
It is strange to envision Ammon’s fellow servants bringing a pile of severed arms to present to King Lamoni. Yet the practice of cutting off the limbs of enemies as a testimony of conquest is attested in both the ancient Near East and Mesoamerica. The severed body parts served as evidence of success in battle. Depictions show soldiers heaping up hands in order to tally the dead or to entitle mercenaries to be paid. The servants of King Lamoni were therefore acting according to custom. And Ammon, instead of boasting in his own strength, went about fulfilling the commands of the king, which ultimately helped him to “convert a king and, through him, a people.”
Elder Jeffrey R. Holland’s testimony of The Book of Mormon is incredibly powerful and a wonderful thing to share with your missionary. This is from his talk “Safety for the Soul.” “Now, I did not...
Here is the resurrection story. Last Thursday night, 2.000 years ago, following the Passover with his disciples, Jesus of Nazareth was praying in the Garden of Gethsemane just outside the eastern walls of the City of Jerusalem. While he was praying, his disciples were sleeping, as great sweat drops
