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."

24-25 1 Ne. 13:1-29

When the Book of the Lamb of God (Bible) first came forth it contained the covenants of the Lord. The great and abominable church took away "many parts which are plain and most precious; and also many covenants of the Lord." I thought about the covenants that we have made with the Lord and the power it gives us to come off conquerer against Satan. Satan cannot harm a covenant keeping people. That is why he wanted those covenants removed from the Bible, so he could cause an exceedingly great many gentiles to stumble. Thanks to the Restoration and the Book of Mormon, we can once again make and keep covenants with the Lord, and use that power from on high to combat the forces of evil.
