2 Nephi 31:10-20

2 Nephi 31:19-20
19 And now, my beloved brethren, after ye have gotten into this strait and narrow path, I would ask if all is done? Behold, I say unto you, Nay; for ye have not come thus far save it were by the word of Christ with unshaken faith in him, relying wholly upon the merits of him who is mighty to save.
 20 Wherefore, ye must press forward with a steadfastness in Christ, having a perfect brightness of hope, and a love of God and of all men. Wherefore, if ye shall press forward, feasting upon the word of Christ, and endure to the end, behold, thus saith the Father: Ye shall have eternal life.

Sonnet 717 2 Nephi 31:10-20

From time to time we feel the Spirit's touch
And get enthused about the holy writ
We read, we ponder, and make notes and such
But other times, I guess, we just forget.

And sometimes we are full of honest hope
We see the light and joyfully submit
We pray, we serve, we have eternal scope
But other times, I guess, we just forget.

And sometimes we have love for God and man
Our hearts with everyone seem firmly knit
We give, we share, we do more than we can
But other times, I guess, we just forget.

We have to make remembering a trend
That's what we call enduring to the end.
