This is really neat:
The Law of MosesThe Gospel of Jesus Christ
1. The Law: the 10 Commandments, etc.
focusing on one's actions & the outward
ordinances
1. The Law: the higher law, focusing on one's actions,
thoughts, and desires and requiring the exercise of faith.
2. The Covenant: If the Israelites keep the
commandments, they are promised, I will
walk among you, and will be your God, and
ye shall be my people (Lev 26:12).
2. The Covenant: the new and everlasting
covenant. See also Heb 10:16-20
3. Blessings: see Deut 28:1-14
3. Blessings: all the blessings of the covenant
of Abraham and eternal life (DC 132)
4. Cursings: see Deut 28:15-68
4. Cursings: to be turned over to the buffetings
of Satan (DC 104:9). See also DC 84:41-42.
5. Priesthood: Aaronic
5. Priesthood: Melchizedek
6. Temple: Tabernacle of Moses, and the
Temple of Solomon
6. Temple: Latter-day Temples with saving
ordinances for the living and the dead
7. Sacrifice: of the firstborn
shall make an atonement for...his sin, and it
shall be forgiven him (Lev 4:26)
7. Sacrifice: The offering of Christ's perfect
sacrifice requires of us a broken heart and a
contrite spirit (3 Ne 9:19-20)
In spite of the Nephite obedience to the Law of Moses, they understood the reason the law was given as a symbol for the mission of Jesus Christ. Hence the explanation by Nephi, the law hath become dead unto us, and we are made alive in Christ because of our faith.
I love 2 Nephi 25:26; it is one of my favorite scriptures because it is a guideline as to ho to live our lives closer with our Savior Jesus Christ's life. "talk of Christ, we rejoice in Christ, we preach of Christ, we Prophecy of Christ, and we write according to our prophecies, that our Children may know to what source they may look for a remission of sins. 
"the right way is to believe in Christ" (2 Nephi 25:29)
Believe in Him and doubt not.
Blessing: I am able to go to Brielle's State DYW (Distinguished Young Womens' Program) or Jr. Miss as I know is as.

Heber J. Grant said "I have heard men and women say that they were going to let their sons and daughters grow to maturity before they sought to teach them the principles of the gospel, that they were not going to cram the gospel down them in their childhood, before they were able to comprehend it. When I hear men and women say this, I think they are lacking faith in the principles of the gospel and do not comprehend it as they should. The Lord has said it is our duty to teach our children in their youth, and I prefer to take His word for it rather than the words of those who are not obeying His commandments.. I may know that the gospel is true, and so may my wife; but I want to tell you that your children will not know that the gospel is true, unless they study it and gain a testimony for themselves. Parents are deceiving themselves in imagining that their children will be born with a knowledge of the gospel." (Richard O. Cowan, The Church in the Twentieth Century, p. 319)*...

Gordon B. Hinckley said, "We all do a lot of studying, but most of us don't do much meditation. We don't take time to think. I'd like to suggest that next fast day . . . everybody in this hall set aside an hour or two. Sit by yourself. Go in the bedroom and lock the door. Go out in the yard under a tree. Go in your study if you have one and shut the door, and think about yourself and your worthiness. Read from this great book [Book of Mormon]...There's a great word that's used, 'ponder.' "'Ponder.' What do we mean by 'ponder'? Well, I think it simply means kind of quietly thinking things through. Ponder what you have read. Ponder your life. Are you worthy, are you living the commandments...?" (Church News, 01/06/96) -Christ commanded them to; 1. " ponder upon the things which I have said, 2. ask the Father, in my name, that ye many understand, 3. prepare your minds for the morrow ," (3 Nephi 17:3) -The thing...
