I'm into lesson 20 of the Religion 275 class manual. Page 98 - Ask a student to read 2 Nephi 25:28–29 aloud, and explain that these verses summarize a powerful sermon Nephi gave to his people about how to be saved. Ask class members to look for what Nephi taught is the most important decision we will make in our lives. • What did Nephi teach is the most important decision we will make in our lives? (Help students identify the following principle: If we choose to believe in Jesus Christ and worship Him with all our might, mind, and strength, then we will remain spiritually strong and not be cast out.) 2 Nephi 25:29 says "And now behold, I say unto you that the right way is to believe in Christ, and deny him not; and Christ is the Holy One of Israel; wherefore ye must bow down before him, and worship him with all your might, mind, and strength, and your whole soul; and if ye do this ye shall in nowise be cast out". Are those "cast out" people a picture of those in Mosiah 16:5 who remained in their fallen state and were "as though there was no redemption made, being an enemy to God"? Does the part about worshipping Christ "with all your might, mind, and strength, and your whole soul" apply only to the mortal probation period or does it also extend to the spirit world where the wicked are?
