Behold, this is a choice land, and whatsoever nation shall possess it shall be free from bondage, and from captivity, and from all other nations under heaven, if they will but serve the God of the land, who is Jesus Christ, who hath been manifested by the things which we have written.
--Ether 2:12
Jesus Christ is the God of this land (the Americas), making this land choice above all other lands. If people in this nation obey God and serve Him, then God will bless this nation with freedom, safety, and prosperity; however, if people of this land are evil, God will not and cannot keep His end of the bargain. It is up to us as the people to have faith in Christ, follow Him, and obey all the commandments because God cannot force us to obey and be righteous.
