Conclusion to 2 Nephi 9

[pam]

2 Nephi 9:2 The Jews shall be restored to the true church (restored shows that they previously had a church).

2 Nephi 9:4 Although our flesh must die, in our bodies (resurrected) we shall see God.

2 Nephi 9:5 The great Creator suffered himself to become subject to man in the flesh and die for all men so that all men might become subject unto him.

2 Nephi 9:6 The fall came by reason of transgression and by the fall all men were cut off from the presence of the Lord.

2 Nephi 9:7 An infinite Atonement was required so that man’s corruptible body could be made incorruptible.

2 Nephi 9:8-9 If there had been no resurrection, our spirits would have eventually become subject to the devil, angels to the devil.

2 Nephi 9:10-12 The Atonement also delivers man from the grasp of hell or the death of the spirit.

2 Nephi 9:14 At the resurrection, the wicked shall have a perfect knowledge of their guilt and uncleanness and the righteous shall have a perfect knowledge of their enjoyment and purity.

2 Nephi 9:15 All men must appear before the judgment seat of the Holy One of Israel to be judged according to the holy judgment of God.

2 Nephi 9:16-18 After the judgment, the righteous will remain righteous and the filthy will remain filthy whose torment is as a lake of fire and brimstone. The righteous shall inherit the kingdom of God.

2 Nephi 9:20 The Holy One of Israel knoweth all things (concerning the inhabitants of the earth) and there is nothing that he does not know.

2 Nephi 9:21 The Holy One of Israel suffered the pains of every man, woman, and child who belongs to the family of Adam (an infinite atonement) in order that the resurrection and judgment might come.

2 Nephi 9:23 All men must repent, be baptized, and have perfect faith in the Holy One of Israel or they cannot be saved in the kingdom of God.

2 Nephi 9:25-26 Where there is no law given, there is no punishment or condemnation, but the mercies of the Holy One of Israel have claim on them because of the Atonement satisfying the demands of justice.

2 Nephi 9:29 To be learned is good if one hearkens to the commandments of God.

2 Nephi 9:38 Those who die in their sins, return to God, behold his face, and die in their sins (probably speaking of long range).

2 Nephi 9:39 To be carnally minded is death, and to be spiritually minded is life eternal. (This statement was made long before Paul stated it.)

2 Nephi 9:41 The keeper of the gate (to eternal life) is the Holy One of Israel. He employeth no servant there and he cannot be deceived.

President Hinckley said it best: “I cannot be grateful enough for the Atonement wrought by my Savior and my Redeemer. Through His sacrifice at the culmination of a life of perfection—that sacrifice offered in pain unspeakable—the bonds of death were broken, and the resurrection of all became assured. Beyond this, the doors of celestial glory have been opened to all who will accept divine truth and obey its precepts.” And further: “I sense in a measure the meaning of His atonement. I cannot comprehend it all. It is so vast in its reach and yet so intimate in its effect that it defies comprehension. When all is said and done, when all of history is examined, when the deepest depths of the human mind have been explored, there is nothing so wonderful, so majestic, so tremendous as this act of grace when the Son of the Almighty, the prince of His Father’s royal household,…gave His life in ignominy and pain so that all of the sons and daughters of God, of all generations of time, every one of whom must die, might walk again and live eternally.”
