2 Nephi 26:30
"...wherefore, the Lord God hath given a commandment that all men should have charity, which charity is love. And except they should have charity they were nothing. Wherefore, if they should have charity they would not suffer the laborer in Zion to perish."
Charity is a great thing to have. It is pure love, Christ's love. It is not giving up on people, serving someone, helping cheer up someone, and so much more. It is a lifestyle of love.

2 Nephi 25:26
"And we talk of Christ, we rejoice in Christ, we preach of Christ, we prophesy of Christ, and we write according to our prophecies, that our children may know to what source they may look for a remission of their sins."
It's all about Christ. Happiness, Life, Purpose, Service, Family. All things are about him and his beautiful sacrifice for us. He loves us so much. He is where true salvation is founded. We, as members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, talk, rejoice, prophesy, and write of him. We love him. We teach our children of him so they can love him. So they can know how to repent and receive forgiveness. So they can become clean and pure before him.

2 Nephi 23:22
"...yea, for I will be merciful unto my people, but the wicked shall perish."
This will happen in the Second Coming. The Lord will save his people, those who are faithful to him and live righteously. The wicked, those who follow Satan, will be destroyed. This is his word, and he cannot go against it. It is so important to follow Christ. I do not want to be destroyed.

Helaman 10:11-12
"And now behold, I command you, that ye shall go and declare unto this people, that thus saith the Lord God, who is the Almighty: Except ye shall repent ye shall be smitten, even unto destruction.
And behold, now it came to pass that when the Lord had spoken these words unto Nephi, he did stop and did not go unto his own house, but did return unto the multitudes who were scattered about upon the face of the land, and began to declare unto them the word of the Lord which had been spoken unto him, concerning their destruction if they did not repent."
Previously, Nephi was preaching to the people and many did not believe him. Many wanted to put him in jail. So, Nephi went home and pondered what the Lord had helped him with. As he traveled home he received this commandment from God that he should continue to preach. Nephi immediately turned around and returned to preach repentance unto the people. Nephi was obedient immediately. He did not go home first, rather he followed the command right then and there.

2 Nephi 19:6
"For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given; and the government shall be upon his shoulder; and his name shall be called, Wonderful, Counselor, The Mighty God, The Everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace."
Christ has so many names, all of which tell a bit about who he is. He is a wonderful being. He listens and soothes as a counselor would. He is powerful and mighty and can do anything. He is our Father and our bringer of peace.

Romans 8:16
"The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God"
This is my part in the primary program this year. I will then ask the sunbeams (3 and 4 year olds) how they know that God knows and loves them. They tell of the things they have and are grateful. They know that they have those things, things like their bodies and their families, because God loves them and wants them to be happy.

2 Nephi 15:20
"Wo unto them that call evil good, and good evil, that put darkness for light, and light for darkness, that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!"
There are so many people today who think that evil things are okay. That it is okay to sin. That there is no consequence for it. That is not true. Sinning is never okay, and God will judge. Just because some evils are legal, and many people do them, it does not make them right in the sight of God.
