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."

22-23 1 Ne. Chapter 12

Speaking of the Nephite Zion, the angel declares, "they are righteous forever; for because of their faith in the Lamb of God their garments are made white in His blood." Forgiveness, cleansing, and sanctification come by faith in the Savior. Repentance is a gift for the faithful. What an opportunity to be cleansed! Take the leap of faith, confess and forsake and our garments will be made white, our souls will be made whole through Him. Christ paid the ultimate price for our souls, He just asks us to have the faith to be close to Him. Repentance takes a lot of faith. Take the action, take the leap, be made clean.
