Introductory Pages of the Book of Mormon

“Another Testament of Jesus Christ”

Scripture:

Introduction to the Book of Mormon:

“We invite all men everywhere to read the Book of Mormon, to ponder in their hearts the message it contains, and then to ask God, the Eternal Father, in the name of Christ if the book is true. Those who pursue this course and ask in faith will gain a testimony of its truth and divinity by the power of the Holy Ghost.” (See Moroni 10:3–5.)

“Those who gain this divine witness from the Holy Spirit will also come to know by the same power that Jesus Christ is the Savior of the world, that Joseph Smith is His revelator and prophet in these last days, and that The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is the Lord’s kingdom once again established on the earth, preparatory to the Second Coming of the Messiah.”

Prophetic promise:

President Russell M. Nelson said, “I promise that as you ponder what you study [in the Book of Mormon], the windows of heaven will open, and you will receive answers to your own questions and direction for your own life” (“The Book of Mormon: What Would Your Life Be Like without It?” Ensign or Liahona, Nov. 2017, 62–63).

FHE activity idea:
Make a record of sacred things. Have each child make a composition book as a place to write their own record.

• composition notebook
• foil
• pen write with

I want to talk about how the Book of Mormon is a record of the sacred events and teachings.

We are told to liken the scriptures unto ourselves and I thought it would be fun to make a scripture/family home evening journal where we could write the spiritual impressions we have and the things we learn as we study the scriptures.
