There is power in it!

"Is there not something deep in our hearts that longs to draw nearer to God, to be more like Him in our daily walk, to feel His presence with us constantly? If so, then the Book of Mormon will help us do so more than any other book.

It is not just that the Book of Mormon teaches us truth, though it indeed does that. It is not just that the Book of Mormon bears testimony of Christ, though it indeed does that, too. But there is something more. There is a power in the book 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 straight and narrow path...When you begin to hunger and thirst after those words, you will find life in greater and greater abundance."

72-73 2 Ne 8:24-9:14

Can we really imagine the magnitude of the gift of immortality? What would it be like to be immortal, to live forever, free from bodily pain and stress? It is amazing to think that Christ has given us this free gift. We will all overcome physical death, and we all have the opportunity to overcome spiritual death through faith, repentance, and covenant keeping. How glorious it will be to not only enjoy the priceless gift of immortality, but to joy in the presence of God and eternal lives. "O how great the goodness of our God, who prepareth a way for our escape from the grasp of this awful monster...death and hell."
