Book of Mormon Lesson 10:
March 2–8
2 Nephi 31-33

This outline suggests principles you may find meaningful in 2 Nephi 31–33. But the most important things you’ll learn in your study will come from the whisperings of the Spirit. Seek this guidance, and record the promptings that come.
2 Nephi 31: Nephi tells why Christ was baptized—Men must follow Christ, be baptized, receive the Holy Ghost, and endure to the end to be saved—Repentance and baptism are the gate to the strait and narrow path—Eternal life comes to those who keep the commandments after baptism. About 559–545 B.C.
2 Nephi 32: Angels speak by the power of the Holy Ghost—Men must pray and gain knowledge for themselves from the Holy Ghost. About 559–545 B.C.
2 Nephi 33: Nephi’s words are true—They testify of Christ—Those who believe in Christ will believe Nephi’s words, which will stand as a witness before the judgment bar. About 559–545 B.C.
