3 Nephi 11:37-39 -- On the Doctrine of Christ

"And again I say unto you, ye must repent, and become as a little child, and be baptized in my name, or ye can in nowise receive these things.
And again I say unto you, ye must repent, and be baptized in my name, and become as a little child, or ye can in nowise inherit the kingdom of God. Verily, verily, I say unto you, that this is my doctrine, and whoso buildeth upon this buildeth upon my rock, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against them."
3 Nephi 11:37-39


The fact that this is repeated so often, in the context of clearing up arguments about what Christ's doctrine really is, indicates that it is super important. So, some things to ponder for today: repentance, baptism, and becoming as a little child.

These are all things that we can work on... even baptism, if already completed with the proper authority, we can work on because keeping the covenants we make at baptism is huge, and part of the becoming like a little child part, which King Benjamin further explains: "becometh as a child, submissive, meek, humble, patient, full of love, willing to submit to all things which the Lord seeth fit to inflict upon him, even as a child doth submit to his father" (Mosiah 3:19). Let's focus in and work on the basics today, which reach into everything that we are.
