“The scriptures enlarge our memory by helping us always to remember the Lord and our relationship to Him and the Father. … The scriptures also enlarge our memory by helping us not forget what we and earlier generations have learned. … Those who either don’t have or ignore the recorded word of God eventually cease to believe in Him and forget the purpose of their existence. You will remember how important it was for Lehi’s people to take the brass plates with them when they left Jerusalem. These scriptures were key to their knowledge of God and the coming Redemption of Christ” (Christofferson, “Blessing of Scripture,” 33).
