TheTanakas Posted March 12, 2021 Posted March 12, 2021 I had a question on this part of the manual (page 91). 91 - Jacob pleaded with his people to "be reconciled unto [God] through the atonement of Christ” ( Jacob 4:11). What do you think that means? Would it help to look up reconcile in a dictionary? Perhaps you can find words or phrases in this chapter that suggest to you how you can come unto Christ so that you can be reconciled to God. For example, Jacob taught that the law of Moses was given to point the people to Jesus Christ (see Jacob 4:5). What has God provided to point you to Christ? This is similar to what the Bible says (that the law of Moses was the taskmaster that brought people to Christ - Galatians 3:24 - Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith). Apart from the law of Moses, what does the manual suggest God has also provided to point someone to Christ? Pete

Pete If you take some time to do as the manual suggests, which is to “find words or phrases in this chapter (Jacob 4) that suggest to you how you can come unto Christ so that you can be reconciled to God,” then you will be answer your own question. I just read Jacob 4 and there are several items that will be found therein that will effectively answer your question. 1

"And for this intent we keep the law of Moses, it pointing our souls to him".

The manual and all scripture provide guidance that will lead a person to Christ as long as they follow that guidance and direction. Take another look at the manual to see what it suggests.

I could lead you by the hand and show you, but the examples within the chapter are so obvious that it should be unnecessary for me to have to point each one of them out to you. Pray and ask God to show you all the things in the chapter that point to the coming of Christ and then reread the chapter. If you still can’t find any after doing your best, I’ll point each one of them out to you one post at a time. Edited March 20, 2021 by teddyaware 1
