JESUS CHRIST -
Is He in the Book of Mormon...?
To even attempt to offer every verse in the
Book of Mormon that speaks of Jesus Christ would require me to cut and
paste most of the book on to my website. It would be easier for you to
just read the book. (Did you order your copy yet...?)
I would, however, like to include just a
few of my favorite passages and then refer you to the Book of Mormon
Index:
|
2
Nephi 11:4-7: |
|
|
"Behold, my soul
delighteth in proving unto my people the truth of the coming of Christ;
for, for this end hath the law of Moses been given; and all things which
have been given of God from the beginning of the world, unto man, are the
typifying of him.
"And also my soul delighteth in the covenants of the Lord which he
hath made to our fathers; yea, my soul delighteth in his grace, and in his
justice, and power, and mercy in the great and eternal plan of deliverance
from death. And my soul delighteth in proving unto my people that save
Christ should come all men must perish.
"For if there be no Christ there be no God; and if there be no God we
are not, for there could have been no creation. But there is a God, and he
is Christ, and he cometh in the fulness of his own time." |
|
|
|
|
|
|
2 Nephi 25:23-26,29: |
|
|
"For we labor diligently
to write, to persuade our children, and also our brethren, to believe in
Christ, and to be reconciled to God; for we know that it is by grace that
we are saved, after all we can do.
"And, notwithstanding we believe in Christ, we keep the law of Moses,
and look forward with steadfastness unto Christ, until the law shall be
fulfilled. For, for this end was the law given; wherefore the law hath
become dead unto us, and we are made alive in Christ because of our faith;
yet we keep the law because of the commandments.
"And we talk of Christ, we rejoice in Christ, we preach of Christ, we
prophesy of Christ, and we write according to our prophecies, that our
children may know to what source they may look for a remission of their
sins...
And now behold, I say unto you that the right way
is to believe in Christ, and deny him not; and Christ is the Holy
One of Israel; wherefore ye must bow down before him, and worship
him with all your might, mind, and strength, and your whole soul;
and if ye do this ye shall in nowise be cast out." |
|

Nephi 31:17-21: |
|
|
"Wherefore, do the
things which I have told you I have seen that your Lord and your Redeemer
should do; for, for this cause have they been shown unto me, that ye might
know the gate by which ye should enter. For the gate by which ye should
enter is repentance and baptism by water; and then cometh a remission of
your sins by fire and by the Holy Ghost.
"And then are ye in this strait and narrow path which leads to
eternal life; yea, ye have entered in by the gate; ye have done according
to the commandments of the Father and the Son; and ye have received the
Holy Ghost, which witnesses of the Father and the Son, unto the fulfilling
of the promise which he hath made, that if ye entered in by the way ye
should receive.
"And now, my beloved brethren, after ye have gotten into this strait
and narrow path, I would ask if all is done? Behold, I say unto you, Nay;
for ye have not come thus far save it were by the word of Christ with
unshaken faith in him, relying wholly upon the merits of him who is mighty
to save.
"Wherefore, ye must press forward with a steadfastness in Christ,
having a perfect brightness of hope, and a love of God and of all men.
Wherefore, if ye shall press forward, feasting upon the word of Christ,
and endure to the end, behold, thus saith the Father: Ye shall have
eternal life.
"And now, behold, my beloved brethren, this is
the way; and there is none other way nor name given under heaven
whereby man can be saved in the kingdom of God. And now, behold,
this is the doctrine of Christ, and the only and true doctrine of
the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost, which is one God,
without end. Amen." |
|

Nephi 32:3: |
|
|
"Angels speak by the
power of the Holy Ghost; wherefore, they speak the words of Christ.
Wherefore, I said unto you, feast upon the words of Christ; for
behold, the words of Christ will tell you all things what ye should
do." |
|
|
|
|
|
|
2 Nephi 33:6: |
|
|
I glory in plainness; I
glory in truth;
I glory in my Jesus, for he hath redeemed my soul from hell." |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Mosiah
3:12: |
|
|
"But wo, wo unto him who
knoweth that he rebelleth against God! For salvation cometh to none such
except it be through repentance and faith on the Lord Jesus Christ." |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Mosiah
5:7-10: |
|
|
"And now, because of the
covenant which ye have made ye shall be called the children of Christ, his
sons, and his daughters; for behold, this day he hath spiritually begotten
you; for ye say that your hearts are changed through faith on his name;
therefore, ye are born of him and have become his sons and his daughters.
"And under this head ye are made free, and there is no other head
whereby ye can be made free. There is no other name given whereby
salvation cometh; therefore, I would that ye should take upon you the name
of Christ, all you that have entered into the covenant with God that ye
should be obedient unto the end of your lives.
"And it shall come to pass that whosoever doeth this shall be found
at the right hand of God, for he shall know the name by which he is
called; for he shall be called by the name of Christ.
"And now it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall not take upon
him the name of Christ must be called by some other name; therefore, he
findeth himself on the left hand of God." |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Alma 37:33: |
|
|
"Preach unto them
repentance, and faith on the Lord Jesus Christ; teach them to humble
themselves and to be meek and lowly in heart; teach them to
withstand every temptation of the devil, with their faith on the
Lord Jesus Christ." |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Helaman
3:28: |
|
|
"Yea, thus we see that
the gate of heaven is open unto all, even to those who will believe
on the name of Jesus Christ, who is the Son of God." |
|
|
|
|
|
|
3 Nephi 5:25-26: |
|
|
"And as he hath
covenanted with all the house of Jacob, even so shall the covenant
wherewith he hath covenanted with the house of Jacob be fulfilled in his
own due time, unto the restoring all the house of Jacob unto the knowledge
of the covenant that he hath covenanted with them. And then shall they
know their Redeemer, who is Jesus Christ, the Son of God; and then shall
they be gathered in from the four quarters of the earth unto their own
lands, from whence they have been dispersed; yea, as the Lord liveth so
shall it be. Amen." |
|
|
|

Nephi 9:15-22: |
|
|
"Behold, I am Jesus Christ the Son of God.
I created the heavens and the earth, and all things that in them are. I
was with the Father from the beginning. I am in the Father, and the Father
in me; and in me hath the Father glorified his name.
"I came unto my own, and my own received me
not. And the scriptures concerning my coming are fulfilled. And as many as
have received me, to them have I given to become the sons of God; and even
so will I to as many as shall believe on my name, for behold, by me
redemption cometh, and in me is the law of Moses fulfilled.
"I am the light and the life of the world.
I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end.
"And ye shall offer up unto me no more the
shedding of blood; yea, your sacrifices and your burnt offerings shall be
done away, for I will accept none of your sacrifices and your burnt
offerings. And ye shall offer for a sacrifice unto me a broken heart and a
contrite spirit. And whoso cometh unto me with a broken heart and a
contrite spirit, him will I baptize with fire and with the Holy Ghost,
even as the Lamanites, because of their faith in me at the time of their
conversion, were baptized with fire and with the Holy Ghost, and they knew
it not.
"Behold, I have come
unto the world to bring redemption unto the world, to save the world from
sin. Therefore, whoso repenteth and cometh unto me as a little child, him
will I receive, for of such is the kingdom of God. Behold, for such I have
laid down my life, and have taken it up again; therefore repent, and come
unto me ye ends of the earth, and be saved."

Nephi 11:10-11, 14: |
|
|
"Behold, I am Jesus
Christ, whom the prophets testified shall come into the world. And
behold, I am the light and the life of the world; and I have drunk
out of that bitter cup which the Father hath given me, and have
glorified the Father in taking upon me the sins of the world, in the
which I have suffered the will of the Father in all things from the
beginning... Arise and come forth unto me, that ye may thrust your
hands into my side, and also that ye may feel the prints of the
nails in my hands and in my feet, that ye may know that I am the God
of Israel, and the God of the whole earth, and have been slain for
the sins of the world." |
|
|
|
|
|

Nephi 27:5-10: |
|
|
"Have they not read the
scriptures, which say ye must take upon you the name of Christ, which is
my name? For by this name shall ye be called at the last day; And whoso
taketh upon him my name, and endureth to the end, the same shall be saved
at the last day. Therefore, whatsoever ye shall do, ye shall do it in my
name; therefore ye shall call the church in my name; and ye shall call
upon the Father in my name that he will bless the church for my sake.
"And how be it my church save it be called in my
name? For if a church be called in Moses' name then it be Moses'
church; or if it be called in the name of a man then it be the
church of a man; but if it be called in my name then it is my
church, if it so be that they are built upon my gospel. Verily I say
unto you, that ye are built upon my gospel; therefore ye shall call
whatsoever things ye do call, in my name; therefore if ye call upon
the Father, for the church, if it be in my name the Father will hear
you; And if it so be that the church is built upon my gospel then
will the Father show forth his own works in it." |

Mormon
3:18-22: |
|
|
"Yea, behold, I write
unto all the ends of the earth; yea, unto you, twelve tribes of
Israel, who shall be judged according to your works by the twelve
whom Jesus chose to be his disciples in the land of Jerusalem. And I
write also unto the remnant of this people, who shall also be judged
by the twelve whom Jesus chose in this land; and they shall be
judged by the other twelve whom Jesus chose in the land of
Jerusalem. And these things doth the Spirit manifest unto me;
therefore I write unto you all. And for this cause I write unto you,
that ye may know that ye must all stand before the judgment-seat of
Christ, yea, every soul who belongs to the whole human family of
Adam; and ye must stand to be judged of your works, whether they be
good or evil; And also that ye may believe the gospel of Jesus
Christ, which ye shall have among you; and also that the Jews, the
covenant people of the Lord, shall have other witness besides him
whom they saw and heard, that Jesus, whom they slew, was the very
Christ and the very God. And I would that I could persuade all ye
ends of the earth to repent and prepare to stand before the
judgment-seat of Christ." |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Mormon 9:36-37: |
|
|
"And behold, these
things which we have desired concerning our brethren, yea, even
their restoration to the knowledge of Christ, are according to the
prayers of all the saints who have dwelt in the land. And may the
Lord Jesus Christ grant that their prayers may be answered according
to their faith; and may God the Father remember the covenant which
he hath made with the house of Israel; and may he bless them
forever, through faith on the name of Jesus Christ. Amen." |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Ether
12:38-41: |
|
|
"And now I, Moroni, bid
farewell unto the Gentiles, yea, and also unto my brethren whom I love,
until we shall meet before the judgment-seat of Christ, where all men
shall know that my garments are not spotted with your blood. And then
shall ye know that I have seen Jesus, and that he hath talked with me face
to face, and that he told me in plain humility, even as a man telleth
another in mine own language, concerning these things; And only a few have
I written, because of my weakness in writing.
"And now, I would commend you to seek this Jesus of whom the prophets
and apostles have written, that the grace of God the Father, and also the
Lord Jesus Christ, and the Holy Ghost, which beareth record of them, may
be and abide in you forever. Amen." |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Moroni
9:25-26: |
|
|
"My son, be faithful in
Christ; and may not the things which I have written grieve thee, to weigh
thee down unto death; but may Christ lift thee up, and may his sufferings
and death, and the showing his body unto our fathers, and his mercy and
long-suffering, and the hope of his glory and of eternal life, rest in
your mind forever. And may the grace of God the Father, whose throne is
high in the heavens, and our Lord Jesus Christ, who sitteth on the right
hand of his power, until all things shall become subject unto him,
be, and abide with you forever. Amen." |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Moroni
10:4-6: |
|
|
"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 in
Christ, he will manifest the truth of it unto you, by the power of the
Holy Ghost. And by the power of the Holy Ghost ye may know the truth of
all things. And whatsoever thing is good is just and true; wherefore,
nothing that is good denieth the Christ, but acknowledgeth that he is." |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Moroni
10:30-34: |
|
|
"And again I would
exhort you that ye would come unto Christ, and lay hold upon every good
gift, and touch not the evil gift, nor the unclean thing.
"And awake, and arise from the dust, O Jerusalem; yea, and put on thy
beautiful garments, O daughter of Zion; and strengthen thy stakes and
enlarge thy borders forever, that thou mayest no more be confounded, that
the covenants of the Eternal Father which he hath made unto thee, O house
of Israel, may be fulfilled.
"Yea, come unto Christ, and be perfected in him, and deny yourselves
of all ungodliness; and if ye shall deny yourselves of all ungodliness and
love God with all your might, mind and strength, then is his grace
sufficient for you, that by his grace ye may be perfect in Christ; and if
by the grace of God ye are perfect in Christ, ye can in nowise deny the
power of God.
"And again, if ye by the grace of God are perfect in Christ, and deny
not his power, then are ye sanctified in Christ by the grace of God,
through the shedding of the blood of Christ, which is in the covenant of
the Father unto the remission of your sins, that ye become holy, without
spot.
"And now I bid unto all, farewell. I soon go to
rest in the paradise of God, until my spirit and body shall again
reunite, and I am brought forth triumphant through the air, to meet
you before the pleasing bar of the great Jehovah, the Eternal Judge
of both quick and dead. Amen." |
