    Abrahamic Covenent

    1 Nephi 15:18Wherefore, our father hath not spoken of our seed alone, but also of all the house of Israel, pointing to the covenant which should be fulfilled in the latter days; which covenant the Lord made to our

    father Abraham, saying: I n thy seed shall al l the kindr eds of the earth be blessed.

    1 Nephi 22:9

    And it shall also be of worth unto the Gentiles; and not only unto the Gentiles but unto all the house of Israel, unto the making known of the covenants of the Father of heaven unto Abraham, saying: I n

    thy seed shall al l t he kind reds of the earth be blessed.

    1 Nephi 17:40

    And he loveth those who will have him to be their God. Behold, he loved our fathers, and he covenantedwith them, yea, even Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; and he remembered the covenantswhich hehad made; wherefore, he did brin g them out of the land of E gypt.

    2 Nephi 29:14

    And it shall come to pass that my people, which are of the house of Israel, shall be gathered home unto the lands of their possessions; and my word also shall be gathered in one. And I will show untothem that fight against my word and against my people, who are of the house of Israel, that I am God, and that I covenanted with Abr aham that I would r emember his seed forever.3 Nephi 20: 25-17

    And behold, ye are the children of the prophets; and ye are of the house of Israel; and ye are of the covenant which the Father made with your fathers, saying unto Abraham:And i n thy seed shall all

    the ki ndr eds of the earth be blessed.26The Father having raised me up unto you first, and sent me to bless you in turning away every one of you from his iniquities; and this becaus e ye are the children of the covenant

    27And after that ye were blessed then fulfilleth the Father the covenant which he made with Abraham, saying: I n thy seed shall al l the kindr eds of th e earth be blessedunto the pouring out of the

    Holy Ghost through me upon the Gentiles, which blessing upon the Gentiles shall make them mighty above all, unto the scattering of my people, O house of Israel.

    Ask

    1 Nephi 15:11

    Do ye not remember the things which the Lord hath said?If ye will not harden your hearts, and ask me in f aith, believing that ye shall receive, with diligence in keeping my commandments, surelythese thi ngs shal l be made known u nto you.3 Nephi 16:4And I command you that ye shall write these sayings after I am gone, that if it so be that my people at Jerusalem, they who have seen me and been with me in my ministry, do notask the Father i n myname, that th ey may receive a knowl edge of you by the Hol y Ghost, and also of the other tribes whom they know not of, that these sayings which ye shall write shall be kept and shall be manifestedunto the Gentiles, that through the fulness of the Gentiles, the remnant of their seed, who shall be scattered forth upon the face of the earth because of their unbelief, may b e brought in, or may be

    brought to a knowledge of me, their Redeemer.

    3 Nephi 18:20

    And whatsoever ye shallask the Father i n my name, which is right, believing thatye shall receive, beholdit shall be given unto you.

    3 Nephi 27: 28-29

    And now I go unto the Father. And verily I say unto you, whatsoever things ye shall ask the F ather in my name shall be given unt o you.29 Therefore, ask, and ye shall receive; knock, and it shall be opened unto you; forhe that asketh, r eceiveth; and unto him that knocketh, it shall be opened.

    Mormon 9:21

    Behold, I say unto you that whoso believeth in Christ, doubting nothing, whatsoeverhe shall ask the Father i n the name of Christ it shall be granted him; and this promise is unto all, even unto the

    ends of the earth.Moroni 7:26

    And after that he came men also were saved by faith in his name; and by faith, they become the sons of God. And as surely as Christ liveth he spake these words unto our fathers, saying: Whatsoever

    thing ye shallask the Father i n my name, which is good, in faith believing that ye shall receive, behold, it shall be done unto you.Moroni 10:4

    And when ye shall receive these things, I would exhort you that ye wouldask God, the Eternal Father, in the name of Christ, if these things are not true; and if ye shall ask with a sincere heart, withreal intent, having faith in Christ, he will manifest the truth of it un to you, by the power of t he Holy Ghost.Baptism

    seen me do.13 Wherefore, my beloved brethren, I know that if y e shall follow the Son, with full purpose of heart, acting no hypocrisy and no deception before God, but with real intent, repenting of your sins,

    witnessing unto the Father that ye are willing to take upon you the name of Christ, by baptismyea, by followin g your Lor d and your Savior down i nto the water, according to his word, behold, then

    shallye receive the Holy Ghost; yea, then cometh the baptism of fi re and of the Hol y Ghost; and th en can ye speak with th e tongue of angels, and shout praises unto t he Hol y One of I srael.

    3 Nephi 12:1AND it came to pass that when Jesus had spoken these words unto Nephi, and to those who had been called, (now the number ofthem who had been called, and received power and authority tobaptize, was twelve) and behold, he stretched forth his hand unto the multitude, and cried unto them, saying: Blessed are ye if ye shall give heed unto the words of these twelve whom I have chosen from

    among you to minister unto you, and to be your servants; and unto them I have given power that they may baptize you with water; and after t hat ye are baptized with water, behold, I wi ll baptize youwith fi re and with the Holy Ghost; therefore blessed are ye if ye shallbelieve in me and be bapti zed, after that ye have seen me and know that I am.

    Mosiah 18:10Now I say unto you, if this be the desire of your hearts, what have you againstbeing baptized in the name of the Lor d, as a witness before him that ye have entered into a covenant with him, that yewill serve him and keep his commandments, that he may pour out his Spirit more abundantly upon you?

    10 And ye will also know that ye are a remnant of the seed of Jacob; therefore ye are numbered among the people of the first covenant; and if it so be that ye believe in Christ, and are baptized, fi rstwith water, then with fi re and with the Holy Ghost, following the example of our Savior, according to that which he hath commanded us, it shall be well with you in the day of judgment.
