we need to pray daily
and study and read from the Book of Mormon -- daily!
Prophetic
Promises Concerning the Book of Mormon
·
“The Book of Mormon is filled with truth. If you read it daily,
you will have more truth and power in your life…. if
you will feast on the words of Christ found throughout the Book of Mormon, I promise that you will have greater power to resist temptation,
increased ability to receive revelation, and greater capacity to deal with the
challenges of life” (President Russell
M. Nelson, Facebook, August 4, 2019
·
“I promise that as you
prayerfully study the Book of Mormon every day, you will make better decisions—every day. I promise that as you ponder what
you study, the windows of heaven will open, and you will receive answers to
your own questions and direction for your own life. I promise that as you daily immerse yourself
in the Book of Mormon, you can be immunized
against the evils of the day, even the gripping plague of pornography and other mind-numbing addictions” (President
Russell M. Nelson, “The Book of Mormon: What Would Your Life Be Like Without
It?” Ensign, November 2017).
·
“When
I think of the Book of Mormon, I think of the word power. The truths of the
Book of Mormon have the power to heal, comfort, restore, succor, strengthen,
console, and cheer souls” (President Russell M. Nelson, “The Book of Mormon:
What Would Your Life Be Like Without It?” Ensign, November 2017).
·
“I feel certain that if, in our homes, parents
will read from the Book of Mormon prayerfully and regularly, both by themselves
and with their children, the spirit of that great book will come to permeate
our homes and all who dwell therein. The spirit of reverence will increase;
mutual respect and consideration for each other will grow. The spirit of
contention will depart. Parents will counsel their children in greater love and
wisdom. Children will be more responsive and submissive to the counsel of their
parents. Righteousness will increase. Faith, hope, and charity—the pure love of
Christ—will abound in our homes and lives, bringing in their wake peace, joy,
and happiness” (President Marion G. Romney, “The Book of Mormon,” Ensign, May
1980, 67).
·
President
Gordon B. Hinckley promised that as we read the Book of Mormon, there
are great “daily promises.” He said, “there will come into your lives
and into your homes an added measure of the Spirit of the Lord, a strengthened
resolution to walk in obedience to His commandments, and a stronger
testimony of the living reality of the Son of God” (President Gordon B.
Hinckley, “A Testimony Vibrant and True,” Ensign, August 2005).
·
“There
is a power in the [Book of Mormon] which will begin to flow into your lives the moment you begin a serious
study of the book. You will find greater
power to resist temptation. You will
find the power to avoid deception. You will find the power to stay on the strait
and narrow path...When you begin to hunger and thirst after those words, you
will find life in greater and greater abundance.” (Ezra Taft Benson, The
Teachings of Ezra Taft Benson [Salt Lake City: Bookcraft, 1989], 54).
