Enos’ Early Ministry

Part of: The Land of Nephi

• Jacob, nearing his death bed, passes the records on to his son Enos, and bids a final farewell.
• Enos tells of a spiritual experience:
• Enos was out hunting one day, when Jacob’s teachings came to mind.
• Enos began to pray for his soul; he prayed all day and all night.
• Enos heard a voice telling him his sins are forgiven; Enos’s guilt disappeared.
• The voice explained that forgiveness is only possible because of Jesus Christ.
• Enos continued to pray for the Nephites.
• The Nephites were promised blessings.
• Enos, with firmer faith, prayed for the Lamanites.
• The Lamanites were also promised blessings.
• Enos wanted his people’s record to be preserved even in case of annihilation.
• God grants according to faith.
• Enos was put at ease.
