Verses 1-10: Another Testament
Mormon speaks to the whole world, but specifically to the Lamanite descendants of those who battled here. He foresees the coming forth of the Bible and offers his record as a supporting companion- another testament.
How does this relate to the atonement?
Simply that Mormon wants everyone to know about and benefit from it, because, like the Savior, he loves us. The whole gospel is summarized in these ten verses, containing all the essentials: Christ's mission, repentance, baptism, final reward and more. If this was the only chapter in the Book of Mormon, it would be enough (but I'm so glad there's more)!
Lesson for me today?
*Believe and keep reviewing the eloquent, comprehensive final testimony of Mormon throughout your life. It will fortify you.
