King Benjamin continues and completes his sermon before the people of Zarahemla. He integrates into his discourse many of the central themes of the gospel: salvation through Christ, the goodness of God, our own nothingness and fallen state, trust in the Lord, the need to repent and humble ourselves before the Lord, the need to remember our dependence on God, standing steadfast in the faith, and much more. His message conveys the promise that if we follow covenant principles we will be filled with the love of God and retain a remission of our sins. He admonishes us to teach our children to honor the laws of God by walking in truth and soberness. Above all, we are to help those in need.
