1 Nephi 15:24
And I said unto them that it was the word of God; and whoso would hearken unto the word of God, and would hold fast unto it, they would never perish; neither could the temptations and the fiery darts of the adversary overpower them unto blindness, to lead them away unto destruction.
Super Heroes are known for saving lives. The Book of Mormon is one of my heroes.
Because of the Book of Mormon, I know who I am. That knowledge continually gives me strength. As I went to high school I struggled with low self confidence and low self-esteem. Yet in those years I never questioned my self worth. When the villians of the world shot thier arrows of lies at me- I believed it. Yet, and this is the great conundrum, I still KNEW that I was of infinite worth to someone. I had forged a shield of faith by a consistent study of God's word. I knew somebody loved me. Somebody cared for me. I did have a purpose. I only had to care about what one person thought of me - Christ. That knowledge has enabled me to push through and reach up at times when all I wanted to do was melt into the ground and be forgotten.
The Book of Mormon teaches us that each of us has unimaginable potential and we can overcome any weakness because God is our Father. He loves us. Our divine heritage is something that nothing or no one can take away. We are His. Forever.
