0:00.0 | Hello there. I'm Tyler Griffin and this is Scripture Study Insights by Scripture Central. |
0:08.0 | Today, 1 Nephi chapters 6 through 10. |
0:12.0 | I hope that as we now are a couple of weeks into this new year of studying the book Mormon, |
0:20.0 | my sincere hope is that this year will be your |
0:24.5 | best year ever of studying this incredible book, that you will increasingly find answers to |
0:33.6 | your questions. You'll increasingly find better questions to ask and then to seek those |

1:48.0 | him in a way that we can see and recognize and sense his characteristic traits, his attributes, |
1:58.8 | his perfected capacities that we're all striving to become more like. So as we dive |
2:04.4 | into our scriptures, let's begin in chapter 6. In verse 4, what you'll see is Nephi gives us |
2:11.3 | a reason for why he's going to this great effort to record his words on metal plates. |
2:19.5 | Verse 4, for the fullness of mine intent is that I may persuade men to come unto the God |
