The Saints become the sons and daughters of Christ through faith—They are then called by the name of Christ—King Benjamin exhorts them to be steadfast and immovable in good works. About 124 B.C.
And
now,
it
came
to
pass
that
when
king
Benjamin
had
thus
spoken
to
his
people,
he
sent
among
them,
desiring
to
know
of
his
people
if
they
a
believed
the
words
which
he
had
spoken
unto
them.
2 And
they
all
cried
with
one
voice,
saying:
Yea,
we
believe
all
the
words
which
thou
hast
spoken
unto
us;
and
also,
we
know
of
their
surety
and
truth,
because
of
the
Spirit
of
the
Lord
Omnipotent,
which
has
wrought
a
mighty
a
change
in
us,
or
in
our
hearts,
that
we
have
no
more
disposition
to
do
b
evil,
but
to
do
good
continually.
3 And
we,
ourselves,
also,
through
the
infinite
a
goodness
of
God,
and
the
manifestations
of
his
Spirit,
have
great
views
of
that
which
is
to
come;
and
were
it
expedient,
we
could
prophesy
of
all
things.
4 And
it
is
the
faith
which
we
have
had
on
the
things
which
our
king
has
spoken
unto
us
that
has
brought
us
to
this
great
knowledge,
whereby
we
do
rejoice
with
such
exceedingly
great
joy.
5 And
we
are
willing
to
enter
into
a
a
covenant
with
our
God
to
do
his
will,
and
to
be
obedient
to
his
commandments
in
all
things
that
he
shall
command
us,
all
the
remainder
of
our
days,
that
we
may
not
bring
upon
ourselves
a
b
never-ending
torment,
as
has
been
spoken
by
the
c
angel,
that
we
may
not
drink
out
of
the
cup
of
the
wrath
of
God.
6 And
now,
these
are
the
words
which
king
Benjamin
desired
of
them;
and
therefore
he
said
unto
them:
Ye
have
spoken
the
words
that
I
desired;
and
the
covenant
which
ye
have
made
is
a
righteous
covenant.
7 And
now,
because
of
the
covenant
which
ye
have
made
ye
shall
be
called
the
a
children
of
Christ,
his
sons,
and
his
daughters;
for
behold,
this
day
he
hath
spiritually
begotten
you;
for
ye
say
that
your
hearts
are
b
changed
through
faith
on
his
name;
therefore,
ye
are
c
born
of
him
and
have
become
his
d
sons
and
his
daughters.
8 And
under
this
head
ye
are
made
a
free,
and
there
is
b
no
other
head
whereby
ye
can
be
made
free.
There
is
no
other
c
name
given
whereby
salvation
cometh;
therefore,
I
would
that
ye
should
d
take
upon
you
the
name
of
Christ,
all
you
that
have
entered
into
the
covenant
with
God
that
ye
should
be
obedient
unto
the
end
of
your
lives.
9 And
it
shall
come
to
pass
that
whosoever
doeth
this
shall
be
found
at
the
right
hand
of
God,
for
he
shall
know
the
name
by
which
he
is
called;
for
he
shall
be
called
by
the
name
of
Christ.
10 And
now
it
shall
come
to
pass,
that
whosoever
shall
not
take
upon
him
the
name
of
Christ
must
be
called
by
some
a
other
name;
therefore,
he
findeth
himself
on
the
b
left
hand
of
God.
11 And
I
would
that
ye
should
remember
also,
that
this
is
the
a
name
that
I
said
I
should
give
unto
you
that
never
should
be
blotted
out,
except
it
be
through
transgression;
therefore,
take
heed
that
ye
do
not
transgress,
that
the
name
be
not
blotted
out
of
your
hearts.
12 I
say
unto
you,
I
would
that
ye
should
remember
to
a
retain
the
name
written
always
in
your
hearts,
that
ye
are
not
found
on
the
left
hand
of
God,
but
that
ye
hear
and
know
the
voice
by
which
ye
shall
be
called,
and
also,
the
name
by
which
he
shall
call
you.
13 For
how
a
knoweth
a
man
the
master
whom
he
has
not
served,
and
who
is
a
stranger
unto
him,
and
is
far
from
the
thoughts
and
intents
of
his
heart?
14 And
again,
doth
a
man
take
an
ass
which
belongeth
to
his
neighbor,
and
keep
him?
I
say
unto
you,
Nay;
he
will
not
even
suffer
that
he
shall
feed
among
his
flocks,
but
will
drive
him
away,
and
cast
him
out.
I
say
unto
you,
that
even
so
shall
it
be
among
you
if
ye
know
not
the
name
by
which
ye
are
called.
15 Therefore,
I
would
that
ye
should
be
steadfast
and
immovable,
always
abounding
in
a
good
works,
that
Christ,
the
b
Lord
God
Omnipotent,
may
c
seal
you
his,
that
you
may
be
brought
to
heaven,
that
ye
may
have
everlasting
salvation
and
eternal
life,
through
the
wisdom,
and
power,
and
justice,
and
mercy
of
him
who
d
created
all
things,
in
heaven
and
in
earth,
who
is
God
above
all.
Amen.
