Mosiah 3:23 23 And now I have spoken the words which
the Lord God hath
commanded me.
Mosiah 3:24 24 And thus saith the Lord: They
shall stand as a bright
testimony against this people, at the judgment day;
whereof they
shall be judged, every man according to his works,
whether they
be good, or whether they be evil.
Mosiah 3:25 25 And if they be evil they are consigned to an awful view of their own guilt and abominations, which doth cause them to shrink from the presence of the Lord into a state of misery and endless torment, from whence they can no more return; therefore they have drunk damnation to their own souls.
Mosiah 3:26 26 Therefore, they have drunk out of
the cup of the wrath of
God, which justice could no more deny unto them than
it could
deny that Adam should fall because of his partaking
of the
forbidden fruit; therefore, mercy could have claim
on them no
more forever.
Mosiah 3:27 27 And their torment is as a lake of
fire and brimstone, whose
flames are unquenchable, and whose smoke ascendeth
up forever and
ever. Thus hath the Lord commanded me.
Amen.
Mosiah 4
Chapter 4
Mosiah 4:1 1 And now, it came to pass that when king Benjamin had made an end of speaking the words which had been delivered unto him by the angel of the Lord, that he cast his eyes round about on the multitude, and behold they had fallen to the earth, for the fear of the Lord had come upon them.
Mosiah 4:2 2 And they had viewed themselves in their own carnal state, even less than the dust of the earth. And they all cried aloud with one voice, saying: O have mercy, and apply the atoning blood of Christ that we may receive forgiveness of our sins, and our hearts may be purified; for we believe in Jesus Christ, the Son of God, who created heaven and earth, and all things; who shall come down among the children of men.
Mosiah 4:3 3 And it came to pass that after they
had spoken these words the
Spirit of the Lord came upon them, and they were filled
with joy,
having received a remission of their sins, and having
peace of
conscience, because of the exceeding faith which they
had in
Jesus Christ who should come, according to the words
which king
Benjamin had spoken unto them.
Mosiah 4:4 4 And king Benjamin again opened his mouth and began to speak unto them, saying: My friends and my brethren, my kindred and my people, I would again call your attention, that ye may hear and understand the remainder of my words which I shall speak unto you.
Mosiah 4:5 5 For behold, if the knowledge of the
goodness of God at this
time has awakened you to a sense of your nothingness,
and your
worthless and fallen state—
Mosiah 4:6 6 I say unto you, if ye have come to a knowledge of the goodness of God, and his matchless power, and his wisdom, and his patience, and his long-suffering towards the children of men; and also, the atonement which has been prepared from the foundation of the world, that thereby salvation might come to him that should put his trust in the Lord, and should be diligent in keeping his commandments, and continue in the faith even unto the end of his life, I mean the life of the mortal body—
