“He Believed in My Words”

Alan C. Miner

Brant Gardner notes that in the relationship of Nephi and Sam (“he believed in my words”) we find one of the clearer examples of two of the Gifts of the Spirit: “To some it is given by the Holy Ghost to know that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, and that he was crucified for the sins of the world. To others it is given to believe on their words, that they also might have eternal life if they continue faithful.” (D&C 46:13-14) [Brant Gardner, “Brant Gardner’s Page, ”[http://www.highfiber.com/] ~nahualli/LDStopics/1 Nephi/1 Nephi2.htm, p. 14]
