1st Nephi 2:20

    Nephi: Inasmuch as ye shall keep the commandments of God, ye shall prosper
in the land (See Mosiah 1:7; Alma 50:20)
    Jesus intimated that it was very difficult for a rich person to enter the kingdom
of God. We suspect that it is difficult for a poor person or a middle class person
to enter his kingdom, also
    A rich person is often too spoiled to care about spiritual matters
    A poor person often seeks material wealth over spiritual riches
    A middle class person may have a good chance of entering the kingdom
if his priorites are right and righteous
    A commandment not kept may be a kingdom lost
    (Thank God for the atonement of Jesus Christ and the principal of repentence)

    Lehi speaking to his oldest son, Laman: O that you might be like this river*
    continually running into the fountain of all righteousness.
    (*A river called Laman that emptied into the Red Sea, named by Lehi in honor 
of his oldest son, Laman).


   
Come, thou fount of every blessing, tune my heart to sing thy grace. 
Streams of mercy, never ceasing, call for songs of loudest praise.
(Robert Robinson-1757).

    You are a garden fountain, a well of flowing water streaming down from Lebanon.
    (Song of Solomon 4:15)
    The fear of the LORD is a fountain of life, to turn one away from
the snares of death. (Proverbs 14:27)
    
    There are many fountains in the world, but none more sweet and wonderful
as the fountain of all righteousness.

    Lehi (Nephi's Father): Thy throne, O Lord God Almighty is high in the heavens             
and thy power, goodness, and mercy are over all the inhabitants of the earth...
    In Christ were all things created through him and for him. Christ is before all
things. In all things, Christ has supremacy. For it pleased the Father that in Christ
the fullness of God should dwell in his son Jesus Christ.
(Colossians:1:16-19 parphrased)

    Nephi: During my lifetime, I have received much knowledge regarding the mysteries of God.
    Are there any valid mysteries of God that would not include and involve his son, Jesus Christ. Probably not. The more we get to know Jesus Christ, the more knowledge we shall have regarding the mysteries of God.

Nephi: ....I have been highly favored by the Lord all my days....
    
Whether we have
been great sinners or simply mediocre ones, would                            we still not have to admit that we too have been highly favored by the Lord all our days?

   I, Nephi having been born of goodly (respectable, well to do,
worthy, honorable, spirit filled) parents...
    In a perfect world, all children would be born of goodly parents, but we know,
this is not the case for millions of children. Imagine what the world and our
communities would be like if they were filled with goodly parents.
