Through Faith on His Name

Today I want to just include some verses from The Book of Mormon that I read this morning, and let you ponder it yourself. For context, this is a king making his final address to his people, and takes place close to 100 BC in the ancient Americas. Mosiah 3:5-9:


For behold, the time cometh, and is not far distant, that with power, the Lord Omnipotent who reigneth, who was, and is from all eternity to all eternity, shall come down from heaven among the children of men, and shall dwell in a tabernacle of clay, and shall go forth amongst men, working mighty miracles, such as healing the sick, raising the dead, causing the lame to walk, the blind to receive their sight, and the deaf to hear, and curing all manner of diseases.
 And he shall cast out devils, or the evil spirits which dwell in the hearts of the children of men.
 And lo, he shall suffer temptations, and pain of body, hunger, thirst, and fatigue, even more than man can suffer, except it be unto death; for behold, blood cometh from every pore, so great shall be his anguish for the wickedness and the abominations of his people.
 And he shall be called Jesus Christ, the Son of God, the Father of heaven and earth, the Creator of all things from the beginning; and his mother shall be called Mary.
 And lo, he cometh unto his own, that salvation might come unto the children of men even through faith on his name;
