Opening topic

Make inspired choices

Benjamin teaches that no list can name every possible sin. His closing counsel asks his people to watch their thoughts, words, and deeds and to continue in faith.

Topic 1

God's plan is for you

Aaron teaches Lamoni’s father from the scriptures, beginning with creation and the Fall and explaining redemption through Christ. Other passages in this study page consider commandments and faithful living.

Topic 2

God wants to communicate with you

Enos describes kneeling in prayer through the day and into the night. His account turns from his own need for forgiveness to concern for his brethren and the preservation of the record.

Topic 3

You can help with God's work

In Jacob’s account of the vineyard, the servants labor with their might and the Lord labors with them. The passage names both shared work and obedience.

Topic 4

Jesus Christ will help you

Enos describes forgiveness, and Benjamin’s people describe joy and peace of conscience through faith in Jesus Christ. The Lord’s answer to Alma also speaks of forgiving those who repent.

Topic 5

Walk in God's light

Lehi sees an iron rod along the river leading to the tree. Nephi later explains the rod as the word of God, while Benjamin teaches love and service in the ways of truth.

Topic 6

Love God, love your neighbor

Benjamin teaches that serving other people is service to God. Later accounts of the Anti-Nephi-Lehies invite readers to consider covenant faithfulness, mercy, and the cost of refusing further violence.

Topic 7

Ordinances and covenants give you access to God's blessings

At the Waters of Mormon, Alma invites the people to baptism as a witness of their covenant to serve God and keep his commandments. The record names the authority with which he baptizes Helam.

Topic 8

Temple ordinances and covenants give you greater access to God's blessings

This page uses the baptismal covenant at the Waters of Mormon as a related study passage. Baptism and temple ordinances remain distinct; read the official guide for the Church’s teaching on the full topic.

Topic 9

You are blessed by priesthood keys and authority

Mosiah 18:13 names Alma’s authority as he baptizes Helam. This selected passage offers a connection to the topic of authority while leaving the broader teaching about priesthood keys to the official guide.

Topic 10

Your body is sacred

Alma calls Corianton to repent and forsake his sins. Read this counsel in the context of the complete chapter, including the wrongdoing Alma names, its consequences for others, and the call to return to his ministry.

Topic 11

Truth will make you free

Alma asks Korihor what evidence supports his claims, and Abinadi testifies of the Messiah. Alma’s counsel to Helaman also connects wisdom in youth with keeping God’s commandments.

Topic 12

Jesus Christ brings joy

Lehi teaches about the Fall and joy. Ammon later rejoices in the Lord’s power, mercy, and patience, acknowledging that he cannot express all he feels.
