27 Thus we may see that the Lord is merciful unto all who will, in the sincerity of their hearts, call upon his holy name.
28 Yea, thus we see that the gate of heaven is open unto all, even to those who will believe on the name of Jesus Christ, who is the Son of God.
29 Yea, we see that whosoever will may lay hold upon the word of God, which is quick and powerful, which shall divide asunder all the cunning and the snares and the wiles of the devil, and lead the man of Christ in a strait and narrow course across that everlasting gulf of misery which is prepared to engulf the wicked—
30 And land their souls, yea, their immortal souls, at the right hand of God in the kingdom of heaven, to sit down with Abraham, and Isaac, and with Jacob, and with all our holy fathers, to go no more out.
The first time I read through this chapter I was unimpressed with all the pride. Then I read it again and realized I missed these beautiful scriptures and then of course (keep in mind I am a little over 8 months pregnant) tears came. Not because of sadness but because as I read these scriptures I started to remember in my own life when I called unto my God through prayer and then watched miracles unfold in my eyes. I know these scriptures are true and one of the most wonderful things about the Book of Mormon is that it has made me come to know for myself that GOD IS REAL! I can't prove that to anyone but I can testify from my own experience that as you call upon the Lord, you will see His hand in your life as well.
Love,
