26:13 - "...and that he manifesteth himelf unto all those who believe in him, by the power of the Holy Ghost; yea, unto every nation, kindred, tongue, and people, working mighty miracles, signs, and wonders, among the children of men, according to their faith..."
There are many great blessings that come as a result of faith. We see miracles, signs, and wonders. We don't seek them, but they follow faith. We also will see the Savior, recognize Him, and follow Him as we develop true faith. As we develop our faith, we also have the Spirit with us in a deeper way, helping us with decisions and helping us come unto Christ.
26:16-17 - "...for those who shall be destroyed shall speak unto them out of the ground..."
This is talking about the Book of Mormon. Even though the Nephites were destroyed, they still passed along their words, works, and warnings. If we heed these teachings, we will come closer to Christ. This will help us avoid destruction ourselves!
26:27 - "...he hath commended his people that they should persuade all men to repentance..."
Part of our Glory is to persuade all men to repentance. It's our glory, because as we repent, we are accomplishing our work, and it brings us happiness. Then we help others repent, which is our glory (Alma 29:9), and this brings us joy.
26:29 - "...priestcrafts are that men preach and set themselves up for a light unto the world, that they may get gain and praise of the world..."
There is a difference between setting yourself up for a light to get gain, and setting yourself up for a light to glorify our Father in Heaven. In both circumstances, we are being a light...it depends on our motives and desires and humility. The thing that helps is shown in the next verse...charity!
