"And now behold, my people, ye are a stiffnecked people; wherefore, I have spoken plainly unto you, that ye cannot misunderstand. And the words which I have spoken shall stand as a testimony against you; for they are sufficient to teach any man the right way; for the right way is to believe in Christ and deny him not; for by denying him ye also deny the prophets and the law.
And now behold, I say unto you that the right way is to believe in Christ, and deny him not; and Christ is the Holy One of Israel; wherefore ye must bow down before him, and worship him with all your might, mind, and strength, and your whole soul; and if ye do this ye shall in nowise be cast out."
2 Nephi 25:28-29
I like the idea that the words here are sufficient to teach anyone the right way. To me, this means that we can move towards God and embrace the gospel without knowing every detail. We just need to know the basics to start out with, and we can immediately start on the path. Belief and worship are an excellent start, because those are the seeds of something more... that belief will start us towards faith, and worship gets us grounded in some humility, so that it is easier to accept what God has to teach us.
Today, wherever we are on the path, let's remember this simple advice and make sure that we are walking in the right way... towards God rather than away from him.
