“Save It Be Repentance and Faith on the Lord Jesus Christ”

Brant Gardner

One of the aspects of the common Nephite apostasy has been the denial of the mission of Jesus Christ, the Atoning Messiah. Samuel’s concentration on the position of the Atoning Messiah as the one who might save them from destruction highlights that the current Nephite wickedness also includes a denial of the Savior’s mission. The Nephites are again succumbing to the worldly notions that have long tempted them.
