Scripture Blog

This weblog is my personal online scripture journal. I try to read the scriptures each morning as I exercise on my cross-trainer. It has a great impact on my life and my testimony of the Savior and his restored church. The journal is really for my own benefit but I have set it up as a web log in hopes to benefit anyone else that may be interested. "For he that diligently seeketh shall find; and the mysteries of God shall be unfolded unto them, by the power of the Holy Ghost..." 1 Nephi 10:19

3 Nephi 14


After teaching His doctrine and gospel, the Savior commanded –

“Enter ye in at the strait gate…”  (Book of Mormon | 3 Nephi 14:13)


Adding –


“Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.”  (Book of Mormon | 3 Nephi 14:14)


After describing those that choose their own gate and way, the Savior warns –


“Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father who is in heaven.
22  Many will say to me in that day: Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name, and in thy name have cast out devils, and in thy name done many wonderful works?
23  And then will I profess unto them: I never knew you; depart from me, ye that work iniquity.”  (Book of Mormon | 3 Nephi 14:21 - 23)


The Prophet Joseph Smith translated the New Testament to “ye never knew me”.
