Discussion of the teachings of Jacob, the fifth son of Lehi. He begins by reminding the Nephites that they are part of the House of Israel and thus the Lord’s covenant people and eligible to receive great blessings. The greatest blessing we can receive is salvation in the Kingdom of God, which is to be our eternal land of inheritance, made possible by the atonement of Jesus Christ. However, in order to qualify for those blessings, Jacob emphasizes the importance of humility and not relying on our own strength, our own knowledge and our own wealth, because ultimately we are not able to save ourselves. If we will remain spiritually minded, we will inherit eternal life.

This lesson also draws from (1) D&C 113:7-8 and (2) “The False Gods We Worship” by President Spencer W. Kimball, available in the June 1976 Ensign.
