The Lord always provides a way so we can
accomplish what He has commanded us to do.
For example, even though the commission of
taking the plates of brass from the hands of
1 Nephi 5:1–8 Laban, which contains the prophesies of Isiah,
was a hard task to do, Nephi did it because he
believed in the power of God, yea, he exerted
faith in God, and finally he accomplished God’s
commission.
A person with charity does not practice
priestcraft; I love to teach the Gospel of Jesus
Christ with the genuine interest of spreading the
2 Nephi 26:29–31 salvation principles to everyone, not because I
want to receive money or praise of the world, but
because I love Heavenly Father, and the Holy
Ghost so has inspired me to do.
After the baptism, we must keep working in the
Kingdom of God, with hope that all the promises
from God will be fulfilled; even though there
2 Nephi 31:19–20
shall be troubles beside the way we are walking
through, we must press forward, enjoying the
study of the canonic books.
Faith in Jesus Christ and in Heavenly Father, and
Mosiah 4 in the Holy Ghost, is an attitude that must remain
with us for the rest of our mortal life; we exert
faith when we keep diligently the commandments
 of God, when we feed the hungry, cloth the
naked, aiding the sick and preaching the Gospel.
The faith is a hope for things that we cannot see
but are true; God is merciful to the ones who
have faith in His words; we must let the word of

nourish it with patience and diligence, and good
works, or keeping the commandments of Jesus
Christ until we pluck the fruit thereof, which is
the company of the Holy Ghost.
Faith, hope, and charity are required to live in the
presence of God; we must keep all the
Ether 12
commandments of God; if we exercise enough
faith, we will see Jesus Christ.
It is by faith that miracles are wrought; we can
receive even the minister of angels because of
our faith; after the faith comes the hope; but, to
have faith and hope a person must be meek and
lowly in heart; to be meek, we must practice until

we develop the virtue of meekness; sometimes I

had the reason to behave with wrath: I was
totally wrong; it is better to stay quite instead of
reacting with violence.
If a person lacks hope, this one will surely be in
despair, that is a sign of unbelieve and iniquity.
Moroni 10:20–24
We must repent daily until we are cleansed by
the influence of the Holy Ghost.
