The deadness of the law as described by Nephi points to the Savior's power to save us from sin. Reading this scripture bring insight into the next 6 months as we participate in a pilot program for the new curriculum the church is looking to use to bring gospel study to the individual and home.
The focus of the new curriculum is for members to understand the doctrine of Christ. I know that I personally have been confused at times when things that we are asked to do have gone against the cultural behaviors or ceremonial ways from my childhood. But, as I have studied the gospel less things have become confusing and the true nature of all the programs of the church have become clear. We are to progress to become like the Savior of all mankind, all things we are asked to do are, in some way, progressing us or the leaders asking it of us to become more like the Savior. If we can see with an eye of faith we will ultimately see the work of the Savior in perfecting us to become like him through the programs of the church.
Let the focus of the next six months be showing our children the deadness of the law and that they may look to the Savior.
