Blessings/Promises of the BoM

Blessings/Promises the Book of Mormon will give those that read from it

• The spirit of reverence will increase; mutual respect and consideration for each other will grow. 
• The spirit of contention will depart. 
• Parents will counsel their children in greater love and wisdom. 
• Children will be more responsive and submissive to the counsel of their parents. 
• Righteousness will increase. 
• Faith, hope, and charity—the pure love of Christ—will abound in our homes and lives, bringing in their wake peace, joy, and happiness”

The Lord Himself has stated that the Book of Mormon contains the “fulness of the gospel of Jesus Christ” (D&C 20:9). That does not mean it contains every teaching, every doctrine ever revealed. Rather, it means that in the Book of Mormon we will find the fulness of those doctrines required for our salvation. And they are taught plainly and simply so that even children can learn the ways of salvation and exaltation. The Book of Mormon offers so much that broadens our understandings of the doctrines of salvation. Without it, much of what is taught in other scriptures would not be nearly so plain and precious.¹⁶

We testify that when used together, the Bible and the Book of Mormon confound false doctrines, lay down contentions, and establish peace. 

If we really do our homework and approach the Book of Mormon doctrinally, we can expose the errors and find the truths to combat many of the current false theories and philosophies of men.
