       Lord hath consecrated this land for the security of thy seed with

       the seed of my son.

      2 Nephi 2 Chapter 2

      2 Nephi 2:1

       1 And now, Jacob, I speak unto you: Thou art my first-born in

       the days of my tribulation in the wilderness. And behold, in thy

       childhood thou hast suffered afflictions and much sorrow, because

       of the rudeness of thy brethren.

      2 Nephi 2:2

       2 Nevertheless, Jacob, my first-born in the wilderness, thou

       knowest the greatness of God; and he shall consecrate thine

       afflictions for thy gain.

      2 Nephi 2:3

       3 Wherefore, thy soul shall be blessed, and thou shalt dwell

       safely with thy brother, Nephi; and thy days shall be spent in

       the service of thy God. Wherefore, I know that thou art

       redeemed, because of the righteousness of thy Redeemer; for thou

       hast beheld that in the fulness of time he cometh to bring

       salvation unto men.

      2 Nephi 2:4

       4 And thou hast beheld in thy youth his glory; wherefore, thou

       art blessed even as they unto whom he shall minister in the

       flesh; for the Spirit is the same, yesterday, today, and forever.

       And the way is prepared from the fall of man, and salvation is

       free.

      2 Nephi 2:5

       5 And men are instructed sufficiently that they know good from

       evil. And the law is given unto men. And by the law no flesh is

       justified; or, by the law men are cut off. Yea, by the temporal

       law they were cut off; and also, by the spiritual law they perish

       from that which is good, and become miserable forever.

      2 Nephi 2:6

       6 Wherefore, redemption cometh in and through the Holy Messiah;

       for he is full of grace and truth.

      2 Nephi 2:7

       7 Behold, he offereth himself a sacrifice for sin, to answer the

       ends of the law, unto all those who have a broken heart and a

       contrite spirit; and unto none else can the ends of the law be

       answered.

      2 Nephi 2:8

       8 Wherefore, how great the importance to make these things known

       unto the inhabitants of the earth, that they may know that there

       is no flesh that can dwell in the presence of God, save it be

       through the merits, and mercy, and grace of the Holy Messiah, who

       layeth down his life according to the flesh, and taketh it again

       by the power of the Spirit, that he may bring to pass the

       resurrection of the dead, being the first that should rise.

      2 Nephi 2:9

       9 Wherefore, he is the first-fruits unto God, inasmuch as he

       shall make intercession for all the children of men; and they

       that believe in him shall be saved.

      2 Nephi 2:10

       10 And because of the intercession for all, all men come unto

       God; wherefore, they stand in the presence of him to be judged of

       him according to the truth and holiness which is in him.

       Wherefore, the ends of the law which the Holy One hath given,

       unto the inflicting of the punishment which is affixed, which

       punishment that is affixed is in opposition to that of the

       happiness which is affixed, to answer the ends of the atonement—

      2 Nephi 2:11

       11 For it must needs be, that there is an opposition in all

       things. If not so, my first-born in the wilderness,

       righteousness could not be brought to pass, neither wickedness,

       neither holiness nor misery, neither good nor bad. Wherefore,

       all things must needs be a compound in one; wherefore, if it

       should be one body it must needs remain as dead, having no life

       neither death, nor corruption nor incorruption, happiness nor

       misery, neither sense nor insensibility.

      2 Nephi 2:12

       12 Wherefore, it must needs have been created for a thing of

       naught; wherefore there would have been no purpose in the end of

       its creation. Wherefore, this thing must needs destroy the

       wisdom of God and his eternal purposes, and also the power, and

       the mercy, and the justice of God.

      2 Nephi 2:13

       13 And if ye shall say there is no law, ye shall also say there

       is no sin. If ye shall say there is no sin, ye shall also say

       there is no righteousness. And if there be no righteousness

       there be no happiness. And if there be no righteousness nor

       happiness there be no punishment nor misery. And if these things

       are not there is no God. And if there is no God we are not,

       neither the earth; for there could have been no creation of

       things, neither to act nor to be acted upon; wherefore, all

       things must have vanished away.

      2 Nephi 2:14

       14 And now, my sons, I speak unto you these things for your

       profit and learning; for there is a God, and he hath created all

       things, both the heavens and the earth, and all things that in

       them are, both things to act and things to be acted upon.

      2 Nephi 2:15

       15 And to bring about his eternal purposes in the end of man,

       after he had created our first parents, and the beasts of the

       field and the fowls of the air, and in fine, all things which are

       created, it must needs be that there was an opposition; even the

       forbidden fruit in opposition to the tree of life; the one being

       sweet and the other bitter.

      2 Nephi 2:16

       16 Wherefore, the Lord God gave unto man that he should act for

       himself. Wherefore, man could not act for himself save it should

       be that he was enticed by the one or the other.

      2 Nephi 2:17

       17 And I, Lehi, according to the things which I have read, must

       needs suppose that an angel of God, according to that which is

       written, had fallen from heaven; wherefore, he became a devil,

       having sought that which was evil before God.

      2 Nephi 2:18

       18 And because he had fallen from heaven, and had become
