D&C 45:58; refer in this text to Enos 1:1-3

[Sister Wirthlin quoted 3 Ne. 22:7,10,13, and then said] “These words of the Savior are the theme for Primary … to teach children the gospel of Jesus Christ and help them learn to live it. As we witness the unfolding events of the last days, we cannot doubt that in this scripture the Lord is speaking directly to us. We are Israel of the latter days… . Peace that endures is not dependent upon outside forces that are beyond our control… . The Lord’s words … give comfort to righteous parents who teach their children of Him. They speak to us at a time when peace in the hearts of children can seem but an elusive dream. But the Savior has assured us that it can be a reality if we teach our children. Primary supports parents in this important responsibility.” (Anne G. Wirthlin, Ensign, May 1998, p. 9)
