3 Nephi 23:13
"And it came to pass that Jesus commanded that it should be written; therefore it was written according as he commanded."
When Jesus visited the Americas, he asked to see the records. He looked over them and asked for more things to be written. The people obeyed. The Book of Mormon is part of these records. Jesus Christ Himself commanded the Book to be written and He looked over and approved of it. The Book of Mormon truly is another testament of Jesus Christ.

Pray in your heart!
3 Nephi 20:1
"... And he commanded them that they should not cease to pray in their hearts."
When we always have a prayer in our hearts, we are acknowledging God throughout the day. We are telling Him what we are doing, what we need help with, and what we are thankful for. We can have an ongoing conversation with the Lord all day as we pray to Him in our hearts.

Ask
3 Nephi 17:3
"Therefore, go ye unto your homes, and ponder upon the things which I have said, and ask of the Father, in my name, that ye may understand, and prepare your minds for the morrow, and I come unto you again."
The Savior wants us to know for ourselves what is true. We can ponder things and pray to the Father for better understanding. The Lord will manifest the truth of things unto us as we ask in sincerity and as we are prepared for the answer.

Wise man
3 Nephi 14:24-25
"Therefore, whoso heareth these sayings of mine and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, who built his house upon a rock-
And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not, for it was founded upon a rock."
We learn in the scriptures that Christ is our rock. Thus, this scripture says it is wise to build our house on a foundation of Christ. His gospel should support our homes. When we listen to Christ and do what He says, we are building our lives with Him as our foundation.

Love
3 Nephi 12:44-45
"But behold I say unto you, love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them who despitefully use you and persecute you;
That ye may be the children of your Father who is in heaven; for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good."
To be known as children of the Father, we must love all His children. He loves us all, and so must we. Even though people will be mean and hurtful, we must forgive and love. Love is the answer.

Build on the Rock
3 Nephi 11:39
"Verily, verily, I say unto you, that this is my doctrine, and whoso buildeth upon this buildeth upon my rock, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against them."
The true doctrine of Christ is built upon his rock. And this rock is steadfast and immovable. Building upon it will bring true joy and fulfillment.

Prophesied Fulfilled
3 Nephi 10:11
"And thus far were the scriptures fulfilled which had been spoken by the prophets."
The coming of Christ, the destruction of so many wicked people and cities, and other things happened as prophesied. The Prophets aren't making stuff up. They are preaching the truth and what will happen in the future.

Only Fear Christ
3 Nephi 7:20

Nephi was not afraid to continue to perform miracles in the name of Jesus even though many were angry with him.

Prideful or Humble?
3 Nephi 6:13
"Some were lifted up in pride, and others were exceedingly humble, some did return railing for railing, while others would receive railing and persecution and all manner of afflictions, and would not turn and revile again, but were humble and penitent before God."
Who am I? Am I prideful or humble? Do I return railings with more railings, or do I forgive easily and let things go? Where do I stand before the Lord?
