“It Is as Easy to Give Heed to the Word of Christ”

D. Kelly Ogden, Andrew C. Skinner

It was easy for the members of the Lehite colony, if they would so choose, to look to the Liahona to keep them on a straight course to the promised land. It is likewise easy for us, if we will so choose, to follow our Liahona—the Holy Ghost and the words of Christ and his prophets—to keep us on a straight course to our eternal home. The scriptures are full of such meaningful types, shadows, and similitudes. Other examples are the following:

1. The Flood, like baptism

1 Peter 3:20–21

2. Abraham offering Isaac

Jacob 4:5

3. Joseph’s coat

Alma 46:23–24

4. The serpent on a pole

Alma 33:19–21; Helaman 8:14–15

5. The law of Moses

Mosiah 13:30–31; 16:14; Alma 25:15; 34:14

6. All things!

2 Nephi 11:4; Moses 6:63
