What can we learn from the warning given to the Jaredites in this verse?

Thomas R. Valletta

“The Lord has reserved this land as the place for the restoration of his church. For this land to achieve its full potential, its citizens must remain rooted firmly in the principles that made it great. The enemies of God are attacking the core foundations of this land. The Lord’s law for this land is declared in the Book of Mormon, where we read that this land is a ‘land of promise’ that ‘ … whatsoever nation shall possess it shall serve God, or they shall be swept off.’ The only power strong enough to withstand a fulness of iniquity is the fulness of the gospel of Jesus Christ” (Wirthlin, “Deep Roots,” 77).
