they are blessed; for behold, as in Adam, or by nature they fall, even
so the blood of Christ atoneth for their sins. And moreover, I say
unto you, that there shall be no other name given, nor any other way
nor means whereby salvation can come unto the children of men, only in
and through the name of Christ, the Lord Omnipotent. For behold he
judgeth, and his judgment is just; and the infant perisheth not that
dieth in his infancy; but men drink damnation to their own souls,
except they humble themselves and become as little children, and
believe that salvation was, and is, and is to come, in and through the
atoning blood of Christ, the Lord Omnipotent; for the natural man is
an enemy to God, and has been from the fall of Adam, and will be, for
ever and ever; but if he yields to the enticings of the Holy Spirit,
and putteth off the natural man, and becometh a saint, through the
atonement of Christ the Lord, and becometh as a child, submissive,
meek, humble, patient, full of love, willing to submit to all things
which the Lord seeth fit to inflict upon him, even as a child doth
submit to his father. And moreover, I say unto you, that the time
shall come, when the knowledge of a Savior shall spread throughout
every nation, kindred, tongue, and people. And behold, when that time
cometh, none shall be found blameless before God, except it be little
children only through repentance and faith on the name of the Lord God
Omnipotent."--Mosiah, iii, 5-21.

behold they had fallen to the earth, for the fear of the Lord had come
upon them; and they had viewed themselves in their own carnal state,
even less than the dust of the earth. And they all cried aloud with
one voice, saying, O have mercy, and apply the atoning blood of
Christ, that we may receive forgiveness of our sins, and our hearts
may be purified; for we believe in Jesus Christ, the Son of God, who
created heaven and earth, and all things; who shall come down among
the children of men. And it came to pass that after they had spoken
these words, the Spirit of the Lord came upon them, and they were
filled with joy, having received a remission of their sins, and having
peace of conscience, because of the exceeding faith which they had in
Jesus Christ who should come, according to the words which king
Benjamin had spoken unto them. And king Benjamin again opened his
mouth, and began to speak unto them, saying, My friends and my
brethren, my kindred and my people, I would again call your attention,
that ye may hear and understand the remainder of my words which I
shall speak unto you; for behold, if the knowledge of the goodness of
God at this time has awakened you to a sense of your nothingness, and
your worthless and fallen state; I say unto you, if ye have come to a
