Nephi exclaimed “my soul delighteth to prophesy concerning him, for I have seen his day, and my heart doth magnify his holy name (2 Nephi 25:13).” His joy was not one that he kept to himself, no he was actively in the act of helping his people purify their hearts and clean their hands, looking forward to the Messiah that was destined to come among his people (2 Nephi 25:16). He was able to “labor diligently to write, to persuade our children, and also our brethren, to believe in Christ, and to be reconciled to God (2 Nephi 25:23).
His method that all this might happen was simple “And we talk of Christ, we rejoice in Christ, we preach of Christ, we prophesy of Christ, and we write according to our prophecies, that our children may know to what source they may look for a remission of their sins (2 Nephi 25:26).”
In this way Nephi could celebrate and cherish all that Christ had done and would do for him. It was in this way that Nephi could “bow down before him, and worship him with all your might, mind, and strength, and your whole soul (2 Nephi 25:29).
Christ has done everything necessary for us to succeed in this life and enjoy the pleasant gift of eternal life with him. His grace can lead us to do that which would bring us into reconciliation with our God and as we strive to be like him, to trust and rely on him we can take comfort in the the knowledge “that it is by grace that we are saved, after all we can do (2 Nephi 25:23).
