The Right Way

2 Nephi 25:29 The Right Way

Nephi instructs us as to The Right Way, the right way to travel the journeys of life and the right way to live. He teaches us the right way to behave and the right way to spend our time and put forth our efforts. He tells us that the right way is to put Christ first in all our thoughts and endeavors.
He said,

"And now behold, I say unto you that the right way is to believe in Christ, and deny him not; and Christ is the Holy One of Israel; wherefore ye must bow down before him, and worship him with all your might, mind, and strength, and your whole soul."

There is the Right Way-to believe in Christ and worship Him with all our might, mind, strength, and our whole souls. Now, the big question, 'How do we do this? How can we worship Him with our whole souls' ? This is done by our putting off the natural man and becoming a saint of the most high God, of applying His atonement in our lives so that our sins are remitted and we become spotless, clean, pure, and white, and that we strive to maintain this state of condition day after day through constant, non-deviating faith in Him. We must forever be pursuing Him, striving to become as He is, developing personal character qualities that He possesses. Becoming like Christ should be our number one goal, and loving God and other people our number one priority.

Worship takes upon itself different forms such as speaking, singing, writing, pondering, praying, serving, obeying, teaching, listening, and numerous other gestures that show our devotion to Him.
