Exegesis
- Verse 29 is telling us that if we will hold onto the word of God (which is the scriptures, Christ, or the Gospel of Christ), we will not be fooled by Satan and we will be led through misery and trials to arrive at God's right hand.

Verse 29
- Across that everlasting gulf. Jacob at the New Cool Thang blog argues that this is analogous to 1 Ne 12:18 and that depictions of Lehi's dream should have tree of life separated from the path leading to it by a gulf (based on this verse and other passages). The crossing of this gulf then is analagous to the crossing of the Red Sea during the exodus and is symbolic of baptism.
