3 Nephi 29

(Below is a list of questions that help me think about each verse as I read it. The numbers represent the verses in the chapter.)

Mormon testifies that the Lord will fulfill his covenant with the house of Israel in the last days. The coming forth of the book of Mormon is a sign that the Lord is fulfilling his covenant with the house of Israel.

1. What signs have you seen that have been prophetically fulfilled? How does the recognition of prophecy fulfilled strengthen and fortify you? How does it help you more deeply and completely trust in the Lord?

2. How does the Lord communicate with his people? How diligent are you in listening to the profit and following his counsel?

3. The Lord promises us that he will never forget the covenants he has made with his people. How committed are you to keeping the covenants that you have made with the Lord? What prophecies have you seen fulfilled in your lifetime?

"The book of Mormon is a tangible sign that the Lord has commenced to gather his children of covenant Israel… In deed, the Lord has not forgotten! He has blessed us and others throughout the world with the book of Mormon… It helps us to make covenants with God. It invites us to remember him and to know his beloved son. It is another Testament of Jesus Christ. ". -Russell M Nelson, Ensign, November 2011

4. What is the law of justice? What role does Justice play in the plan of our heavenly father? If justice requires that you pay for your mistakes, are there mistakes you have made that justice will require a penalty for? How can you avoid paying the utmost penalty for your sins?

5. What does spurn mean? To spurn means to reject or treat with extreme dislike or contempt. It also means to kick or driving back with the foot. Have you ever spurned the doings of the Lord? What are some reasons people might spurn the Lord?

6-7. What do most people today think of revelation or miracles? What are the consequences of spurning these things?

8. When the Lord says he will do something he does it. Are you familiar enough with the prophecies the Lord has given through his holy prophets to recognize his promises? How can you improve in this area?

9. Do any of the prophecies that have been given of our day cause you concern? What is the basis of your concern? Does it have to do with a sin or imperfection in your life? A fear or concern you have? Will coming to the Savior more fully alleviate your concerns? What can you do to persevere in complete faith and trust in the Lord?
