Faith That the Stones Could Illuminate the Barges
The prayer of the brother of Jared shows that he possessed a sound understanding of the character and attributes of God. One of the attributes that the brother of Jared mentions is that God “hast all power” (Ether 3:4). It may have been the brother of Jared’s faith in this attribute of God that enabled him to ask God to illuminate the stones. Nephi, the son of Lehi, possessed a similar understanding which increased his faith that God could deliver the brass plates into his hands (see 1 Nephi 4:1–3).
