SCRIPTURE POWER ALMA 32-34

I am reading along with the Come Follow Me program in the Book of Mormon. Last week we read Alma 32-34. These have long been some of my favorite chapters. 32 is that great chapter on faith, I thought that I really understood it, but no, I really haven’t!!!!  I follow “Book of Mormon Central”, they have amazing insights. I really recommend them!!!!!

What I learned this week was the connection between faith and mercy. Those two words are used so many times in those chapters. Basically stated: when we exercise our faith unto repentance in Jesus Christ, we receive his mercy. The Abrahamic Covenant is what the Lord Promises us and the Mosaic Law is what we need to do.

Alma 34:31 Yea, I would that ye would come forth and harden not your hearts any longer; for behold, now is the time and the day of your salvation; and therefore, if ye will repent and harden not your hearts, immediately shall the great plan of redemption be brought about unto you.

I just listened to the talk Russel M Nelson gave the conference after his wife Danzel passed away. He quoted the next scripture: 32 For behold, this life is the time for men to prepare to meet God; yea, behold the day of this life is the day for men to perform their labors.

I believe these scriptures. I also believe that the second coming is getting very close. We are seeing a lot of prophecies being fulfilled very rapidly.
