Because of Jesus Christ, I am “free to choose liberty and eternal life.”
Lehi’s family was now in a new land, full of new possibilities. The choices they made in this new place would be important for their success and happiness. Perhaps this is why Lehi taught his son Jacob about agency, or the ability to make choices, in 2 Nephi 2. As you study verses 11–30, write down possible answers to these questions:
-
Why is agency so important to Heavenly Father, even though some people use it in hurtful ways?
-
How does the adversary try to weaken or destroy your agency?
-
How does the Savior help you “choose liberty and eternal life” (verse 27)?
Here’s another way to learn about agency in 2 Nephi 2: Look for things that are essential for us to have agency and to reach our divine potential. For example:
-
2 Nephi 2:5: A knowledge of good and evil; a law
What would happen to our agency if one or more of these things were missing?
