The restoration and the coming forth of New Scripture
Principle 3: The Book of Mormon helps bring people to Christ.
1 Nephi 19:18
Nephi wrote down these records for us, he persuade us that we would remember the Lord, our Redeemer. All the words in the scripture are the words from God. The Book of Mormon is a witness of our savior Jesus Christ. It contains the true doctrines of the gospel, outline the plan of salvation, and tells us what to do to gain peace on the earth and eternal life in the life to come. I know the Book of Mormon teaches true doctrines, these doctrines guides us to become more perfect.

2 Nephi 25:23-26
The Prophets wrote the Book of Mormon diligently in order to persuade us to believe in Christ, to be reconciled to God. We should study and ponder the scriptures everyday, diligently. We should read with a sincere heart and real intent, it will convince us that Jesus is the Christ. I really learned a lot good principles from the Book of Mormon. It helps me to understand my life, my goals.

Principle 4:The Book of Mormon is convincing evidence of the Restoration.
1 Nephi 13:40
The Book of Mormon is an evidence for the Restoration of the Gospel. It is not only a witness of Jesus Christ, but also a witness of Joseph Smith who translated the Book of Mormon. Joseph Smith restored the Gospel, and organized the church. He is the witness of the Restoration of the Gospel.

D&C 20:8-12
The scriptures are the words of God, therefore, it does not change. It teaches the same principle as before, and will teach the same principle in the future. They are all true principles from Heavenly Father. We should follow the teaching of God, to prepare to enter eternal life.
