What lessons are learned from Nephi’s use of scripture examples?

Thomas R. Valletta

“Let’s learn a great lesson from what transpired with Nephi. He started to recount the things that had happened that they all knew were a part of their heritage. He went back to the coming of the children of Israel out of Egypt. He said: ‘You know what happened. There they were right against the Red Sea with the Egyptians coming, and the Lord saved them’ (see 1 Ne. 17:26–27). … He was trying to … develop faith in the Lord. And the way to do it is to recount the examples of faith that have happened in our history and in our heritage and with our people” (Tuttle, “Developing Faith,” 66).
