SCRIPTURE STUDY 1 Nephi 1-5

Dear READER,


I have started the Book of Mormon - Another testament of Jesus Christ - again and would love to bring you along with me as I learn and grow. This will be mostly my thoughts as I read through the chapters. Some are points I learned, and others are questions I had while reading. I don't have time every day to write it in my journal and then blog it so you might get a few all on one day but you can just take your time in going through them (sorry about that if I had about three more hours in my day i could probably do it)

If you don't already have a copy of the Book of Mormon and would like one (so that you can follow along) please feel free to email me at jen06013@gmail.com and I will get one to you.


I hope you enjoy --- this is going to be a great journey!!


1 Nephi 1-5

• The lord still allowed lehi's family to suffer and be afflicted while in the wilderness. The Lord was still with them through it all though
• Lehi taught his children in the right ways
• Nephi was taught to keep a record. Just like we are taught to keep a journal
• Lehi prayed for his people (All of them good and bad)
• 1 Nephi 1:7 the Spirit maketh or spiritual things make us tired or weak (is this why all those people fall asleep in church)
• When exactly did Lehi become a Prophet?
• Tender Mercies are given to those who have Faith
• Faith delivers us
• We are blessed because of the things we do
• When asked to do something would you leave all to do it or do I hold on to the things I feel are more important?
• We need to give thanks in all things great and small
• We murmur because we do not know the dealings of God...it is our job to seek it
• We must gain (ask the Lord) to soften our hearts
• 1 Nephi 2:18 We need to plead with the Lord for those in our families who are struggling
• The Lord prepared the way for us
• We are to teach those around us
• The oldest is to lead the way - the lot fell upon lamen
• "...we were obliged to leave behind our property" --- I don't know I just thought it was a bit funny how he wrote that in there
• Younger children follow the examples of those above them
• Sam was also smote with a rod 1Nephi 3:28
• "...Wherefore can-ye doubt?"
• The Spirit leadeth only in paths of truth and righteousness
• Do I follow the counsel with a glad heart or do I murmer all along the way?
• It is better that one wicked man should die so that many may/can believe on Christ
• We must be taught first in order to follow
• Nephi delivered or freed Zoram from slavery
• Lehi and his family are either from the house of Ephraimm or Mannasses
• It is through the Scriptures that we are able to keep the commandments of the Lord

Yours Truly,

Jenessa
