I glory in plainness!
I glory in truth!
I glory in my Jesus,
for He hath redeemed
my soul from hell.
(II Nephi 15:7)

And we talk of Christ,
We rejoice in Christ,
We preach of Christ,
We prophesy of Christ,
And we write according
to our prophecies, that
our children may know
to what source
they may look for a
remission of their sins.
(II Nephi 11:48)

Yea, the place of Mormon,
the waters of Mormon,
the forest of Mormon,
how beautiful are they to
the eyes of them who here
came to the knowledge of
their Redeemer. Yea,
and how blessed are they,
for they shall sing
to His praise forever.
(Mosiah 9:66,67)

And now I would
commend you
to seek this Jesus
of whom the prophets and
apostles have written,
That the grace of
God the Father and
also the Lord Jesus Christ
and the Holy Ghost,
which beareth
record of Them,
may be and abide
in you forever. Amen.
(Ether 5:41)

For the right way
is to believe in Christ
and deny him not;
for by denying him,
ye also deny the prophets
and the law.
(II Nephi 11:54)

Wherefore, how great
the importance to
make these things known
unto the inhabitants
of the earth,
that they may know
that there is no flesh
that can dwell
in the presence of God,
save it be
through the merits,
and mercy, and grace
of the holy Messiah.
(II Nephi 1:73)

Believe in God;
believe that he is,
and that he created
all things
both in heaven
and in earth;

Believe that he has
all wisdom,
and all power,
both in heaven
and in earth;

Believe that man
doth not comprehend
all things which the
Lord can comprehend.

And again:
Believe that ye must
repent of your sins
and forsake them,
and humble yourselves
before God; and ask
in sincerity of heart
that he would forgive you:

And now, if you believe
all these things,
see that ye do them.
(Mosiah 2:13-17)

Yea, come unto Christ
and be perfected in Him
and deny yourselves
of all ungodliness,
And if ye shall deny
yourselves of all
ungodliness and love God
with all your might,
mind and strength, then
is His grace sufficient
for you, that by His
grace ye may be perfect
in Christ; And if by
the grace of God ye are
perfect in Christ,
ye can in no wise deny
the power of God.
(Moroni 10:29)
