"the blessed and happy state of those that keep the commandments of God. ...they are blessed in all things, both temporal and spiritual... if they hold out faithful to the end..."

God recognizes our actions and when we are faithful to him and His commandments and will bless us for it.

Mosiah 3:8 he shall be called Jesus Christ, the Son of God
Some have criticized the Book of Mormon because Book of Mormon prophets use the term "Christ" before the birth of the Savior. The word "Christ" is the Greek form of the Hebrew word for Messiah and means literally "the anointed one."*

"even after all this they shall consider him a man," (Mosiah 3:9)
- After all Christ did for them and even after the miracles that were performed in front of their eyes they still did not understand. They still considered him a man, not the Son of God.

(Matt 22:42) Christ asks his Disciples "What think ye of Christ?" His own disciples didn't truly understand the purpose of Christ and what His mission was here on earth.
-We need to have a better understanding and desire to know our Savior and to know Him.

Blessing- I know my Savior and have a great desire to continue to better understand and know who he is every single day.

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...
