In the Book of Mormon we read that after many Lamanites and Jews believe, they will become a delightsome people. They will rejoice and know the blessings of the Lord. The Lord will commence His work among all nations, kindreds, tongues and people. 2 Nephi 30:6-8 "And then shall they rejoice; for they shall know that it is a blessing unto them from the hand of God; and their scales of darkness shall begin to fall from their eyes; and many generations shall not pass away among them, save they shall be a pure and a delightsome people. And it shall come to pass that the Jews which are scattered also shall begin to believe in Christ; and they shall begin to gather in upon the face of the land; and as many as shall believe in Christ shall also become a delightsome people. And it shall come to pass that the Lord God shall commence his work among all nations, kindreds, tongues, and people, to bring about the restoration of his people upon the earth."
In the Old Testament we read about how a servant of Elisha panicked when he saw the great hosts of the enemy surrounding the city. But Elisha told him not to fear because those on their side were more than those against them. Elisha then prayed that the servants eyes would be opened, and he could then see the mountains full of horses and chariots of fire surrounding Elisha. When we have the Lord on our side, it doesn't matter who is against us. 2 Kings 6:15-17 "And when the servant of the man of God was risen early, and gone forth, behold, an host compassed the city both with horses and chariots. And his servant said unto him, Alas, my master! how shall we do? And he answered, Fear not: for they that be with us are more than they that be with them. And Elisha prayed, and said, Lord, I pray thee, open his eyes, that he may see. And the Lord opened the eyes of the young man; and he saw: and, behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire round about Elisha."
In some verses with a thought booklet we read that God loved the world so much that He sent His Only Begotten Son to save us. If we believe in Him, we'll have everlasting life. If we refuse to believe in Him, we'll stand condemned before God. John 3:16-18 "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God."
