"For the fulness of mine intent is that I may persuade men to come unto the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, and be saved."
1 Nephi 6:4
Nephi takes a step back in this chapter and talks to his audience, telling us that he isn't really concerned with telling all the history, or the genealogy of his fathers, and in this verse he states why. His whole purpose is to persuade people to grow closer to God.
That's a really strong idea in this book, probably strongest in Third Nephi, but really throughout... the idea and tactile emotion of being able to know God, to reach out to Christ, to experience that matchless love in our lives.
We get so caught up with other things in our lives that we so often forget the main, top thing... God, and his love for us, which is the only thing that can fill that emptiness that we sometimes feel inside us.
Today, let's come unto Christ, embrace God, and be saved. Yes, sometimes it is hard, and it requires us to make choices that put God first, but nothing else is more worth it. Let's put first things first, and not forget the most important thing of all.
