What hope does the birth of the Savior bring to you? How does knowing His mission bring you peace? For the prophet Nephi, as can be for all of us, Christ meant love–the love of Heavenly Parents, the love of sacrifice, the love of a Redeemer (see 1 Nephi 11:17-33). This simple but profound message

In Hebrews 11 we’re taught that “faith is the substance of things hoped for,” though those things may not be realized yet. This stands true through all eras. In the Book of Mormon, one of our many examples of faith comes from the righteous Nephites as they awaited the signs of Christ’s birth that were
In Hebrews 6, Paul describes hope as an anchor for our souls, characterizing it as “both sure and steadfast” (Hebrews 6:19). He talks about how, since Christ has entered the kingdom of God, we can all have hope to do the same. In writing on the same topic, Moroni uses similar language. In Ether 12,

The Book of Mormon prophet Nephi also encouraged his people to study the scriptures. In the
