There were no robbers or murderers. There were no Lamanites or any other groups. They were all one people. They were the children of Christ. They would inherit God’s kingdom.

No thieves. No murderers. The old tribal divisions—Lamanites and all the rest—had vanished. They were one people now, children of Christ, heirs to God’s kingdom.
