What was Nephi’s intention in using the words of ancient prophets?

Thomas R. Valletta

“The Nephite tradition centered on the message about Christ. As Nephi often stated, his purpose was to persuade his children to believe in Christ, that they might be saved (see 1 Nephi 6:4; 19:18; 2 Nephi 25:23)” (Reynolds, “Nephi’s Political Testament,” 225–26).
