3 Nephi 29

The covenants which God made with the children of Israel, concerning their restoration to the lands of their inheritance, is already beginning to be fulfilled (1).


Elder Russell M. Nelson said:

"The covenant God made with Abraham and later reaffirmed with Isaac and Jacob is of transcendent significance. It contained several promises, including:

• Jesus the Christ would be born through Abraham’s lineage.

• Abraham’s posterity would be numerous, entitled to an eternal increase, and also entitled to bear the priesthood.

• Abraham would become a father of many nations.

• Certain lands would be inherited by his posterity.

• All nations of the earth would be blessed by his seed.

• And that covenant would be everlasting—even through 'a thousand generations.'

"Some of these promises have been fulfilled; others are still pending" ("Covenants").

How blessed we are to live in these days. How blessed we are that God remembers His covenant with His people.
