Testimony-Book Of Mormon 1 Nephi 1:3

TESTIMONY


1 Nephi 1:3
What
Nephi bears his testimony and verifies his work. “I know.. is true, I make it with my own hand according to my knowledge”
He did not make anything up. He is the interpreter not the original writer.

Why
It is important to know that Nephi testifies it is true. Otherwise the Book would be worthless to us if it were not true.

Pattern
1 Nephi 14:30 He testifies that what he wrote is true and that he did not write everything.
2 Ne. 25:20 He testifies to the truth of the brass plates and the story of Moses and his people.
Mos. 1:6 King Benjamin testifies of the truth of the Book
1 Nephi:3
Alma 3:12 Alma testifies the record is true
Ether 5:1-3 Moroni testifies of the truth of the record.. prophecies of the three witnesses to come.

Christ
Ether 5:4 the Father and the Son and the Holy Ghost bear record all it shall stand as a testimony in the last day.
“The Book of Mormon, another testament of Christ”

Apply
I know that the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints is true. That it is brought forth for us in the later days. I am grateful for the Book of Mormon and that it is available in so many formats. I love this book!
You too may know this book is true.
See Moroni 10:4 “And when ye shall receive these things, I would exhort you that ye would ask God, the Eternal Father, in the name of Christ, if these things are not true; and if ye shall ask with a sincere heart, with real intent, having faith I Christ, he will manifest the truth of it unto you, by the power of the Holy Ghost.”


Conference
10/14 “Receiving a Testimony of Light and Truth” Pres. Dieter f. Uchtdorf
“Your personal testimony of light and truth will not only bless you and your posterity here in mortality, but it will also accompany you throughout all eternity. “
10/14 Yes, Lord, I will Follow Thee by Elder Eduardo Gavarret
Will your read the Book of Mormon? Will you pray? Will you follow the example of Jesus christ.….
