Even in this has the Messiah provided the example. He has included all, and he tells this community to follow his example. This statement is more readily understood when we remember that Mormon tells us that there are both Lamanite and Nephite in this very community already (3 Nephi 10:18-19). Thus this command has immediate relevance. The believers are to be accepted, regardless of whether they had previously aligned themselves with Lamanites or Nephites.
