Samuel risked it all.
After being kicked out of Zarahemla, he returned to the hard-hearted Nephites, climbed that outer city wall, dodged arrows and stones, and put his life on the line to preach repentance and salvation through Christ.
He prophesied that the Son of God would come to redeem “all those who shall believe on his name.” (Helaman 14:2)
.
Believe on His name.
To “believe on His name” is really to believe on His 𝘯𝘢𝘮𝘦𝘴—and there are over 200 of them throughout the scriptures. Christ’s myriad titles perfectly capture who He is and who He can be in our lives if we’ll only believe.

When we need an ally and a friend, He is our ADVOCATE WITH THE FATHER.
When we yearn for a constant in an ever-changing world, He is ALPHA AND OMEGA.
When we are spiritually famished and emotionally fatigued, He is the BREAD OF LIFE.
When we are encompassed by darkness and yearn for the light, He is our BRIGHT AND MORNING STAR.
When we just can’t shake the chains of addiction and sin, He is our DELIVERER.
When our faith is not enough, yet we desire to believe, He is the FINISHER OF OUR FAITH.
When we have wandered and can’t find our way back, He is our GOOD SHEPHERD.
When we need hope for a future that only seems bleak, He is the HIGH PRIEST OF GOOD THINGS TO COME.
When we’re consumed by the mists of darkness, He is the LIGHT OF THE WORLD.
When we grieve, anguish, and cry out, He is the PRINCE OF PEACE.
When we are wounded and seek divine healing, He is our PHYSICIAN.
When we’re ready to be molded into something more, He is the POTTER.
When our souls need reclaiming, He is our REDEEMER.
When the winds of doubt blow us off course—when the waves of trial beat against us—He is our REFUGE FROM THE STORM.
When our world is crumbling, He is our ROCK.
When we need saving, He is our SAVIOR.
