“If Ye Shall Press Forward”

Brant Gardner

Nephi finalizes the challenge by reiterating the message of enduring to the end. They must "press forward with a steadfastness." This provides two important images. The first is the reiteration of "endure to the end" and the second picks up on the image of the narrow path and gate. In the last verse Nephi has them standing on the path, just past the narrow gate. He now encourages them to "press forward." He concludes with a definition of "the end" - "Ye shall have eternal life."
