If you don’t have it, I highly recommend the Scripture Citation Index app (also on Android).
For that verse, there is a reference from Elder Gay’s October 2018 conference talk.
Here is a portion, with some good footnotes.
First, to take upon ourselves the name of Christ means we faithfully strive to see as God sees.4
[See Mosiah 5:2–3 Part of the mighty change of heart among the people of King Benjamin who took upon themselves the name of Christ was that their eyes were opened to “great views.” Those who inherit the celestial kingdom are individuals who “see as they are seen” Doctrine and Covenants 76:94
How does God see? Joseph Smith said, “While one portion of the human race is judging and condemning the other without mercy, the Great Parent of the universe looks upon the whole of the human family with a fatherly care and paternal regard,” for “His love [is] unfathomable.”5 [Teachings of Presidents of the Church: Joseph Smith (2007), 39.]
I like this app a lot. It reminds me of the LDS Scripture Citation Index, though I'm glad to see that these two apps solve different problems.
Great job!
Well, that's fair, then. I probably come across as acrid. I apologize, too. I look at it this way: when I want to read about Jesus interacting with real-life, ordinary people, I read the N.T.. I can put myself in the shoes of the beggars, the sinners, the sick, the homeless, those rejected by the hierarchy. But when I want to understand how Jesus dying on the cross affects my life eternally, I read the Book of Mormon. I just can't find good explanations of the Atonement in the Bible- unless I read the O.T. and try understand Jewish symbolism clearly. It's laid out so clearly in the Book of Mormon- and there's a lot of it. The chapters I posted are the ones that brought me to Jesus. And I find just the opposite- 90% of the BoM is (to me) about Jesus and the Atonement. I think I've read it at least 30 times, and am still finding new stuff. In my current reading, I'm in Alma 9 right now. It's going slow because I'm cross referencing every verse with conference talks as used by scriptures.byu.org. Best wishes on your journey.

Apparently it doesn't exist in the Apple store and 10 seconds of looking on the website didn't show an app link there either.
