After witnessing that plain and precious truths were altered or removed from the "book", Nephi learned that the Lord in His mercy would not allow the world to remain confused or blinded (see 1 Nephi 13:30–34). Nephi saw that the gospel would be restored in its fulness through the “gift and power of the Lamb” (1 Nephi 13:35).
How did the Savior accomplish this? (1 Nephi 13:35-39)
Through the Book of Mormon and other scriptures.
The Prophet Joseph Smith taught that “many important points touching the salvation of man had been taken from the Bible, or lost before it was compiled”. He also said that he believed the Bible “as it read when it came from the pen of the original writers” and that “ignorant translators, careless transcribers, or designing and corrupt priests have committed many errors” .
Elder Jeffrey R. Holland of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles taught:
Elements … missing from the Bible were both “plain and most precious.” They were plain in their simplicity and clarity, being easy to “the understanding of … men”; they were precious in their purity and profound worth, their saving significance and eternal importance to the children of God. (Jeffrey R. Holland)

Liahona, pointed the way and had messages from the Lord, worked on faith, most often compared to the Gift of the Holy Ghost.

My dear brothers and sisters, the joy we feel has little to do with the circumstances of our lives and everything to do with the focus of our lives.
When the focus of our lives is on God’s plan of salvation … and Jesus Christ and His gospel, we can feel joy regardless of what is happening—or not happening—in our lives. (Russell M. Nelson)

Ivan had been planning to spend Saturday afternoon with his friends, but when one of them unexpectedly showed up with alcohol to share, he felt it was time for him to leave. He knew his friends wouldn’t be surprised because he had consistently gone home in similar situations in the past. As he walked away, he heard his friend Daniel say, “It seems like Ivan’s church won’t let him do anything.”
Ivan continued to think about Daniel’s comment as he walked home.
If Ivan were to start questioning his decision to walk away from spiritually dangerous situations, what would you say to help him Act in Faith and what Book of Mormon DM could you share that might help him?
What could you share with Daniel about the Plan of Salvation that will help him understand what kind of freedom the Savior offers to those who use their agency to keep His commandments? What kind of captivity results from rejecting them?
Your honest answer is correct.

1 Nephi 14:12-14 - Nephi learned about latter-day members of Jesus Christ's Church. What stands out to you about Nephi's description of Christ's Church and its members in our day? Why?
The phrase “armed with righteousness and with the power of God in great glory” [1 Nephi 14:14] is not simply a nice idea or an example of beautiful scriptural language. Rather, these blessings are readily evident in the lives of countless latter-day disciples of the Lord. …
… I testify that the covenant people of the Lord today indeed are armed with righteousness and with the power of God in great glory. I have witnessed faith, courage, perspective, persistence, and joy that extend far beyond mortal capacity—and that only God could provide. (David A. Bednar)
