Look up Godliness.
God like, do the things God does. His purpose is manifest in ordinances.
Every begining is the end of another thing. We need the sacrament to renew all of our covenants. Renew means begin again.
**** Saints - covenanted followers of Jesus Christ.*****
Covenanted followers observes ordinances. Cannot have covenant without an ordinance.
Nephi needed the book because it contained the covenants of his father's which were necessary.
A side comment was this passage which stood out: when I, Nephi, had heard these words,
We were studying the purpose that Laban was slain, but the way Nephi is written of as not being prompted, but through hearing a thing which reminded him of another.
People in the book of Ether did not have book of covenants of father's and it was recorded so that that they might be an example to us as to why those scriptures are so important.
A huge difference between Nephi and Laman & Lemuel:
And it came to pass that when the angel had spoken these words, he said unto me: Rememberest thou the covenants of the Father unto the house of Israel? I said unto him, Yea.
Strive means: make great efforts to achieve something.
Go and DO.
After hard things have been endured then you can feel joy, genuine.
When we Press forward that great effort will leave an impression.
I was looking for a favorite scripture because I actually do not have one yet. Here it is: from Mosiah 26
30 Yea, and as often as my people repent will I forgive them their trespasses against me.
