Scripture Blog

This weblog is my personal online scripture journal. I try to read the scriptures each morning as I exercise on my cross-trainer. It has a great impact on my life and my testimony of the Savior and his restored church. The journal is really for my own benefit but I have set it up as a web log in hopes to benefit anyone else that may be interested. "For he that diligently seeketh shall find; and the mysteries of God shall be unfolded unto them, by the power of the Holy Ghost..." 1 Nephi 10:19

John 8

Several Old Testament prophets asked the people -

"...for why will ye die..." (Old Testament | Ezekiel 33:11)

As the Savior said to the Pharisees in the temple -

"...I go my way, and ye shall seek me, and shall die in your sins: whither I go, ye cannot come." (New Testament | John 8:21)

The death spoken of by the the Savior and the prophets was being seperated from the presence of God for -

"...ye shall die in your sins: for if ye believe not that I am he, ye shall die in your sins." (New Testament | John 8:24)

The Savior couldn't have made it more clear that he will not "save us in our sins", only "from our sins" if we repent.
