Posted on by

Nephi answered his brothers’ questions and explained the meaning of their father’s dream. And then something miraculous happens. Teaching them about the tree of life causes them to humble themselves before the Lord. For possibly the first time ever, Nephi believed there was a chance his brothers would enter into the new covenant to receive the 1st and 2nd Comforters for themselves.

Lehi obtained a great vision of the Tree of Life and taught it to his entire family. Nephi believed, but wanted something more: Knowledge for himself.

Moroni boldly declares “I have seen Jesus, and that he hath talked with me face to face.” Men of God in every generation have tried to teach the people to come unto Jesus Christ and let Him heal you, convert you, minister to you and even show Himself to you. The possibility is real, but we’re taught that like the prophets of old, we too will “receive no witness until after the trial of [our] faith.”
