# 2 Nephi 11

*Paraphrase*

Jacob shared much more with our people, but I’ve only written down these parts. What I’ve recorded is enough for me.

### Why Nephi Loves Isaiah

Now I want to write more of Isaiah’s words. My soul loves what he wrote. I’ll apply his words to my people and send them to all my children. Isaiah truly saw the Redeemer, just as I have. My brother Jacob has also seen him, just as I have. So I’m sending out their words to my children to prove that what I say is true. God said he would establish his word through three witnesses. Still, he keeps sending more witnesses—he backs up everything he says.

My soul loves showing my people the truth about Christ’s coming. That’s what the law of Moses was given for. Everything God has ever given to people since the beginning of the world has pointed to Christ. And my soul loves the promises the Lord made to our ancestors. I love his grace, his justice, his power, his mercy—all woven into this great eternal plan to rescue us from death. My soul loves proving to my people that without Christ, everyone would be lost. If there’s no Christ, there’s no God. And if there’s no God, we don’t exist—because nothing could have been created. But there is a God, and he is Christ, and he will come when the time is right. Now I’m writing some of Isaiah’s words so that whoever among my people reads them can lift their hearts and celebrate for all humanity. Here are his words—you can apply them to yourselves and to everyone.
