“Nephi demonstrated his absolute and uncompromising loyalty to the Savior of whom he prophesied. His life modeled the pattern of behavior of those who have their callings and election made sure, as revealed by Joseph Smith: ‘When the Lord has thoroughly proved him, and finds that the man is determined to serve Him at all hazards, then the man will find his calling and his election made sure.’ Nephi did have his calling and election made sure” (Ogden and Skinner, Book of Mormon, 2:96).
