1 Nephi 15:14

Nephi testifies that the remnant of their seed in the last days will be taught the gospel. It is an amazing thing what they will learn. Before, he said that the Gentiles will bring it to them. The knowledge is incredible. Here is what he said that they will be taught and know:

1. They shall know that they are of the house of Israel.
2. They shall know that they are the covenant people of the Lord.
3. They shall know and come to the knowledge of their forefathers.
4. They shall also come to the knowledge of the gospel of their Redeemer, which was ministered unto their fathers by him.
5. They shall come to the knowledge of their Redeemer.
6. They shall come to the knowledge of the very points of His doctrine, that they may know how to come unto Him and be saved.

What an amazing thing to know that one is of the house of Israel, and we are! We are a covenant people of the Lord and have blessings and responsibilities because so. Hopefully we can come to a knowledge of our forefathers. Those who came before spiritually and physically. We need to learn as much as we can about the gospel of our Redeemer. The good news that He came, lived, and died for us. He left an example for how we should live and provided a way that our death would not be the end thereof. He provided a way for us to return to live with our Heavenly Father. This ties into coming to a knowledge of our Redeemer and the very points of His doctrine (faith, repentance, baptism, the gift of the Holy Ghost, to name a few). The great thing about it all, too, is that we can be a part of fulfilling this prophecy. We can go out and help all the others come to this knowledge. We are required to do so and the missionaries are there to help us. So, let us pray for missionary experiences.
