2 Nephi 33:1 Unto the hearts of the children of men

“As we study, ponder, and pray about gospel truths, the Holy Ghost enlightens our minds and quickens our understanding. [See  Doctrine and Covenants 11:13] He causes the truth to be indelibly written in our souls and can cause a mighty change to occur in our hearts. As we share these truths with our families, with fellow members of the Church, and with friends and neighbors in our community, the Holy Ghost becomes their teacher as well, for He carries the message of the gospel ‘unto the hearts of the children of men.’  (Elder Craig C Christensen, General Conference, October 2012)

2 Nephi 33:4 It persuadeth them to do good

‘It is about the Book of Mormon I want to talk today. I do so with just one objective in mind: To get you to read it.

I have read it a little, I believe in it, and I love it. I recommend that every person within the sound of my voice read the Book of Mormon. I can testify, as did Nephi, that the things written therein persuadeth all men to do good (2 Ne. 33:4) It will enrich the life of every person who will read it, unless he is in rebellion against the truth; and in that event it will advise him of his awful fate unless he changes his ways.’ (Marion G Romney, General Conference, April 1949)

2 Nephi 33:6 “my Jesus”

Note: This is the only time that this phrase is used in all of scripture.

2 Nephi 33:10 If ye believe in Christ ye will believe in these words

“The Book of Mormon is the most Christ-centered scriptural record ever published.  Every doctrine within its covers is but an appendage to a central theme- the testimony that Jesus is the Christ.  All who believe in Christ will believe the words of this book.  One cannot truly believe in the Bible and at the same time not believe in the Book of Mormon.  ‘There is not that person on the face of the earth,’ Brigham Young said, ‘who has had the privilege of learning the Gospel of Jesus Christ from these two books [the Bible and the Book of Mormon], that can say that one is true, and the other is false.  No Latter-day Saint, no man or woman, can say the Book of Mormon is true, and at the same time say that the Bible is untrue.  If one be true, both are; and if one be false, both are false.’ (JD 1:38.) To believe the words of one is to believe the words of both (see Mormon 7:9).” (McConkie and Millet, Doctrinal Commentary on the Book of Mormon, vol. 1, p. 375)

“Those who join this Church love the Savior Jesus Christ and they wish to follow Him. They rejoice in the knowledge that God speaks to mankind again. When they receive sacred priesthood ordinances and make covenants with God, they can feel His power in their lives. [See  Doctrine and Covenants 84:20 When they enter the holy temple, they sense they are in His presence. When they read the holy scriptures [See  2 Nephi 33:10 and live the teachings of His prophets, they grow closer to the Savior they love so much.” (Elder Dieter F Uchtdorf, General Conference, October 2013)
