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."

16-17 1Ne. 8:31- 10:9

Nephi didn't know why the Lord commanded him to make the small plates. Mormon didn't know why the Lord commanded him to include the small plates with his golden record. Both these prophets knew however that the Lord has all wisdom, and knoweth all things and thus they were obedient to the Lords commands. Sure enough, some 2400 years later we all knew why the Lord commanded them to do what they did (116 lost pages). We are reading these very pages that Nephi wrote. Let us all be obedient to whatever the Lord commands.
