Jacob's insights mentioned in his letter

Words of Mormon Vs7:
Imagine how much time it would take to write on plates of gold or brass. Imagine the effort it would take to engrave each and every word in a legible manner, and then imagine why they were doing it. Often times they speak of doing this for a wise purpose, a purpose that they don’t know, but that they trust in the Lord, and have enough faith to know that though they don’t know all things, but that the Lord does and that He knows all that will come. They then press forward in that faith, writing laboriously so that the Lord can work in/through them to do according to His will. In this sense we can truly see how “the Lord worketh not among the children of men save it be according to their faith.” (2°Nephi 27:23) and that God very often does use one of us to bring about good in the lives of so many others, how much could can we be allowed to help in if we try to follow God’s will.

Mosiah 1:3-7
King Benjamin is instructing his sons to read the scriptures and keep the commandments, how does he do it? What techniques does he use?
He starts off telling them how the scriptures have blessed the lives of their ancestors, leading them in the way of the Lord, whereas without the scriptures, he teaches that they would have dwindled in unbelief, giving the example of their brethren the Lamanites. Next he testifies of the truthfulness of the scriptures, giving a brief description of the Book of Mormon (when it was written) and then he exhorts them to “search them diligently” and to keep the commandments of God, that they may prosper in the land according to God’s promise. (Probably citing scripture to them) “Padrão de compromisso”

Mosiah 1:11-12 “Giving a name”
As king Benjamin prepares to give the kingdom over to his son Mosiah, he tells his son to call the people together with the intent to present him as the new king, and also to give the people a name, which “never shall be blotted out except it be through transgression”. What name is this and how is it that it can only be “blotted out through transgression”? A little further on in his discourse, King Benjamin speaks of this to his people. Mosiah 5:8-1 King Benjamin asks of the people if they believed on his words, in response they speak of a mighty change of heart, that the Spirit wrought in them, leaving them without the desire to do evil, butto do good continually. They express that they could prophesy of all things if it were expedient, and they say that it is because of their faith which they have had on the things their king spoke unto them that brought them this knowledge and joy. As a result they are willing to enter into a covenant to do His (God’s) will.
In doing this King Benjamin tells them that they will become the children of Christ and that they will be taking upon them the name of Christ in doing so.
What other aspects are there in taking Christ’s name upon us?
At this point King Benjamin is speaking to the people of Christ, and how it is only through Him and His sacrifice that they can be saved.

Mosiah 2
With great knowledge comes great responsibility, Vs 35-36, When we make a conscious decision to go against that which we have been taught concerning the gospel of Jesus Christ, we come out in open rebellion against God, and we literally are saying to Him that we don’t want His guidance, that our way is the better way, and that even though He made us, gives us air to breathe and strength to live and so many other blessings, we just take it all for granted and move on in our own way. Therefore we become a law unto our selves, an enemy to God and all righteousness, and neither the Lord or His Spirit have any place in us, to guide us in His ways, for He dwelleth not in unholy temples.

Mosiah 3 Vs 19:
19 For the natural man is an enemy to God, and has been from the fall of Adam, and will be, forever and ever, unless he yields to the enticings of the Holy Spirit, and putteth off the natural man and becometh a saint through the atonement of Christ the Lord, and becometh as a child, submissive, meek, humble, patient, full of love, willing to submit to all things which the Lord seeth fit to inflict upon him, even as a child doth submit to his father.

2°Nephi 9:42-43: This has a lot to do with our natural pride, we learn from this scripture that the Lord wants to open to us, and He will, but only if we are humble and are willing to accept His counsel, those who remain in their natural pride, (the spirit of man) can’t learn of Him because He (the Lord) teaches us through the Spirit, and “ the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.” (1Cor. 2:11-14)

D&C 46:7

Ether 12:23-28: One name for the Lord is “the fountain of all righteousness”, makes me think of scriptures that say things like “all good things come from God” and another that tells us we can’t do anything until we are persuaded by one influence or the other (good or bad).

3° Nephi 11
Christ invites all to come unto Him, feel the prints in His hands, feet and side. This could be compared to His invitation to all of us to gain a personal testimony, not a one size fits all sort of deal, but one that is fit to our needs, weaknesses, faith and desires. We could also compare this to the one on one invitation He gives to each one of us to come unto Him through the ordinances of His gospel, that of baptism by immersion for the remission of sins, the laying on of hands for the gift of the Holy Ghost, taking out our endowments and eventually having our calling and election made sure. Through the prophet Joseph Smith, God has once again restored these ordinances in their true form, and the authority needed to perform(realize) them. We can know this is true through the power of the Holy Ghost, who will testify through feelings of peace, joy and comfort, but we have to seek it; “Seek and ye shall find, knock and it shall be opened unto you” (scripture reference) After all is said and done, He still leaves us to do our part, God is waiting, wishing and in reality reaching to each one of us, we just have to move forward in faith, take His hand and let Him lift us. We do this as we go forth and are baptized, receive the Holy Ghost, take out our endowments, have our calling and election made sure and continue keeping the associated covenants.

Como os servos do Senhor se sentem a respeito do trabalho? Como os servos do Senhor influenciam as pessoas a quem servem?

Mosias 28:3 They care for the salvation of others, and keep things in the eternal perspective, realizing that our desires and actions now in this life will affect our eternal salvation and that only those who have been warned/given a knowledge of the way (being the gospel of Jesus Christ) can take the path that leads to eternal life. They realize that they have been given that knowledge and wish to help others gain it with the blessings of God as well.

Alma 8:14-15 They feel connected to the work, it becomes a part of them, it doesn’t become a role that they take on and off as they come and go from their house to the street. They really feel sorrow when the people reject the word of God but they don’t give up, they keep looking for the elect of God walking whatever distance is needed to find them.

Helaman 10:3-5 They ponder in their heart the situations of people, seeking inspiration and guidance for ways to get through to the people. They unwearyingly declare the word of God, not fearing the people regardless of what they might say or think. They don’t worry about their personal affairs at home, they leave them behind and work to know and follow God’s will and the keep His commandments. They don’t ask that which is contrary to the will of God.

3° Nephi 28: 4-10 They want to help others know and live the gospel more then they want anything else, even more then to just ensure their own salvation or that of their families.

Ether 12:13-15 They work in unceasing faith, regardless of the odds against them, the difficulties they are passing through, the opposition or the apparent hardness of hearts, doing all that they can, truly working heart, might, mind and strength to help the Lord bring to pass the immortality and eternal life of man.

D&C 15:4-6; 16:4-6 They desire to know things of Heavenly Father, they seek for the answers, and they do so with the intent to follow the instructions they receive. They speak the words which the Lord gives them according to His commandments.

D&C 68:2-6 They speak as the Lord gives them words, and as they speak when moved upon by the Holy Ghost, their words are scripture, shall be the will of the Lord, shall be the mind of the Lord, shall be the word of the Lord, shall be the voice of the Lord, and the power of God unto Salvation. They don’t fear, are of good cheer and bear record of Jesus Christ.
