6:4 - "For the fullness of my intent is that I may persuade men to come unto the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, and be saved."
That's the same intent that is mentioned in the Title Page of the Book of Mormon, as well as our purpose here on Earth (D&C 11:20, Alma 29:9, Moses 1:39).
We need to be instruments in the hands of God to help others come unto Christ and partake of His gospel.
6:6 - "...they shall not occupy these plates with things which are not of worth unto the children of men..."
That is amazing, because there were a lot of records kept over thousands of years. If they were all of worth to us, that's amazing. Then...Mormon took the most relevant information and writings for us and put that into the Book of Mormon. It's the best of the best, compiled for our benefit!
We need to realize the importance of the Book of Mormon and read/study it daily so we can learn, apply, and progress.
6:6 - "...they shall not occupy these plates with things which are not of worth unto the children of men..."
This also shows the importance of journal keeping...it may be of worth to our posterity. If nothing else, it will be of worth to us. When we record our feelings and experiences, we are able to learn from them better and remember them better. Remembering is key.
If we remember, then we too can be remembered.
Remembering is good!
