Last week, reviewed
who is the church by Jesus’ words in the Book of Mormon. Defines worthiness for
communion, according to the Book of Mormon. Two items mentioned, among many others, in 3 Nephi
13.
1: 3 Nephites, transformed, then set to do a work
among the Gentiles 3
Nephi 13:44 Yea, even among the Gentiles shall there be a great and
marvelous work wrought by them, before that judgment day. 3 Nephites will be among the Gentiles, Jews and lost
tribes in the latter days, and a significant purpose will be
accomplished by them, that we don’t know of. 2: Summary
of promise to Joseph, Judah 3
Nephi 13:61 Yea, and ye need not any longer hiss, nor spurn, nor make game of the Jews,
nor any of the remnant of the house of Israel, for behold the Lord
remembereth his covenant unto them, and he will do unto them according
to that which he hath sworn; Once again, the Lord uses his writers to remind us of
His covenant to the House of Israel. Main Class Topic: Jesus and JudgmentJesus says he will be
lifted up—for what reason? John
3:14 And as Moses lifted
up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of Man be lifted
up; John
12:32 And I, if I be
lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me. 3 Nephi 12:26 And my Father sent me that I might be lifted up upon the cross; and after that I had been lifted up upon the cross, I might draw all men unto me: 3 Nephi 12:27 That as I have been lifted up by men, even so should men be lifted up by the Father, to stand before me, to be judged of their works, whether they be good or whether they be evil; 3
Nephi 12:28 And for this cause have I been lifted up;
therefore, according to the power of the Father, I will draw all men
unto me, that they may be judged according to their works. Alma
Helaman
Why will we be
judged? (for condemnation only?) Helaman
5:84 And this to the
intent that whosoever will believe, might be saved, and that whosoever
will not believe, a righteous judgment might come upon them: and also if
they are condemned, they bring upon themselves their own condemnation. Mosiah
1:106 And behold, all
these things are done, that a righteous judgement might come upon the
children of men. Alma
19:79 Yea, ye shall have
mercy restored unto you again; ye shall have justice restored unto you
again; ye shall have a righteous judgment restored unto you again; From What will we Be judged? 3
Nephi 13:3 And behold, all
things are written by the Father; therefore out of the books which shall
be written, shall the world be judged. 2
Nephi 11:42 And the nations which shall possess them, shall be judged of them
according to the words which are written; Words
of Mormon 1:17 (speaking of the plates) And I know that they will be preserved:
for there are great things written upon them, out of which my people and
their brethren, shall be judged at the great and last day, according to
the word of God which is written. Revelation
20:12 And I saw the dead,
small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened; and
another book was opened, which is the book of life; and the dead were
judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to
their works. 2
Nephi 15:17 And you that will not partake of the goodness of God, and respect the
words of the Jews, and also my words, and the words which shall proceed
forth out of the mouth of the Lamb of God, behold, I bid you an
everlasting farewell, for these words shall condemn you at the last
day; What is the Pattern for Judgment? Numbers
35:30 Whoso killeth any
person, the murderer shall be put to death by the mouth of witnesses;
but one witness shall not testify against any person to cause him to
die. Matthew
18:16 But if he will not
hear thee, then take with thee one or two more, that in the mouth of two
or three witnesses every word may be established. II
Corinthians 13:1 This is the third time I am coming to
you. In the mouth of two or three witnesses shall every word be
established. I
Timothy 5:19 Against an elder receive not an accusation,
but before two or three witnesses. Hebrews
10:28 He that despised Moses' law died without mercy
under two or three witnesses; DC
6:13b and in the mouth of two or three witnesses,
shall every word be established. (What are our two or three ‘witnesses?’ Bible, Book of Mormon, D & C) For What will we be judged? Revelation
20:13 And the sea gave up
the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead
which were in them; and they were judged every man according to their
works. Revelation
22:12 And, behold, I come
quickly; and my reward is with me to give every man according as his
work shall be. Romans
2:12 For as many as have
sinned without law shall also perish without law; and as many as have
sinned in the law shall be judged by the law; (i.e. Will be judged by
what ever law you were born under) 1
Nephi 3:116 Wherefore, the twelve ministers of thy seed shall be judged of them;
for ye are of the house of Israel; and these twelve ministers whom thou
beholdest, shall judge thy seed. Mormon
1:83 Yea, behold, I write
unto all the ends of the earth; yea, unto you, twelve tribes of Israel,
who shall be judged according to your works, by the twelve whom Jesus
chose to be his disciples in the land of Jerusalem. Mormon
1:84 And I write also
unto the remnant of this people, who shall also be judged by the
twelve whom Jesus chose in this land; and they shall be judged by the
other twelve whom Jesus chose in the land of Jerusalem. John
5:30 And shall all be
judged of the Son of Man. For as I hear, I judge, and my judgment is
just; II
Timothy 4:1 I charge thee therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who
shall judge the quick and the dead at his appearing in his kingdom; Alma
Alma
Alma
Jude
Mormon
1:87 And ye must stand to
be judged of your works, whether they be good or evil; and also that ye
may believe the gospel of Jesus Christ, which ye shall have among you; Mosiah
2:49 But this much I can
tell you, that if ye do not watch yourselves, and your thoughts, and
your words, and your deeds, and observe to keep the commandments of God,
and continue in the faith of what ye have heard concerning the coming of
our Lord, even unto the end of your lives, ye must perish. Matthew
7:31 For the day soon
cometh, that men shall come before me to judgment, to be judged
according to their works. Alma
2
Nephi 1:23 Behold, I say, If
the day shall come that they will reject the Holy One of Israel, the
true Messiah, their Redeemer and their God, behold, the judgments of him
that is just, shall rest upon them; Alma
Mosiah
Mosiah
Mosiah
Mormon
4:61 Do ye suppose that ye shall dwell with him under a
consciousness of your guilt? 62
Do ye suppose that ye could be happy to dwell with that holy being, when
your souls are racked with a consciousness of your guilt that ye have
ever abused his laws? 63 Behold I
say unto you, that ye would be more miserable to dwell with a holy and
just God, under a consciousness of your filthiness before him, than ye
would to dwell with the damned souls in hell. 64 For behold, when ye shall be brought to
see your nakedness before God, and also the glory of God, and the
holiness of Jesus Christ, it will kindle a flame of unquenchable fire
upon you. Mosiah
11:198 Then shall they confess, who live without God in
the world, that the judgment of an everlasting punishment is just
upon them; Mosiah
1:106 And behold, all
these things are done, that a righteous judgement might come upon the
children of men. Alma
19:79 Yea, ye shall have
mercy restored unto you again; ye shall have justice restored unto you
again; ye shall have a righteous judgment restored unto you again; Luke
12:8 Also I say unto you,
Whosoever shall confess me before men, him shall the Son of Man
also confess before the angels of God. Why are we to be
righteous in our judgments in this lifetime? Moroni
7:17 And now, my
brethren, seeing that ye know the light by which ye may judge, which
light is the light of Christ, see that ye do not judge wrongfully; for
with that same judgment which ye judge, ye shall also be judged. Matthew
7:3 For with what
judgment ye shall judge, ye shall be judged; and with what measure ye
mete, it shall be measured to you again. How are we to judge? Matthew
7:2 Judge not unrighteously, that ye be not judged; but
judge righteous judgment. Matthew
7:3 For with what judgment ye shall judge, ye shall be
judged; and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you
again. James
4:12 There is one lawgiver, who is able to save and to
destroy; who art thou that judgest another? Why did John record this, and also this? John
5:30 And shall all be
judged of the Son of Man. For as I hear, I judge, and my judgment is
just; I
Corinthians 6:2 Do ye not know that the saints shall judge the world? and if the world
shall be judged by you, are ye unworthy to judge the smallest matters? What will people say and do that REJECT the Light of Christ? John
3:20 For every one who doeth evil hateth the light,
neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. Alma
17:13 O, thought I, that I could be banished and become
extinct both soul and body, that I might not be brought to stand in the
presence of my God, to be judged of my deeds. Mosiah
11:197 Yea, even at the last day, when all men shall
stand to be judged of him, then shall they confess that he is God; Mosiah
11:198 Then shall they confess, who live without God in
the world, that the judgment of an everlasting punishment is just
upon them; What will people say and do that ACCEPT the Light of Christ? |
