===Jacob's sermon=== In chapters 6–10, Jacob gives a two-day sermon that includes many words from Isaiah 49:22–52:2 in which he invites the people to compare Isaiah’s teachings to their own experiences. He preaches about "the Holy One of Israel," God’s plan, the consequences of sin, [[resurrection]], [[Last Judgment|judgment]], deliverance from hell, and the righteous' inheritance of [[Kingship and kingdom of God|God’s kingdom]].{{sfn|Thomas|2016|pp=43–44}} In his sermon, Jacob warns the prideful wealthy, those who think their intellect sets them above God’s teachings, and various others who ignore God; he states that in these conditions they cannot be saved.{{sfn|Arnold|1996|pp=53–55}} He then speaks of the [[Jews]], [[Gentile]]s, and descendants of Lehi in the last days before Christ’s coming{{sfn|Hardy|2023|pp=80–81}} and explains that the Gentiles will be counted as part of the [[Israelites|house of Israel]].{{sfn|Givens|2020|pp=42–43}} He also teaches that after Israel is scattered, descendants of the house of Israel who repent and believe will be subsequently restored to their lands. The land Lehi’s family has come to is a land of inheritance and is promised as a land of [[liberty]].{{sfn|Gardner|2007|p=187}} Jacob ends with the instruction to turn to God and choose eternal life.{{sfn|Gardner|2007|p=191}}
