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

Alma 5

Continuing some thoughts yesterday, Alma asked -

"Have ye walked, keeping yourselves blameless before God?  Could ye say, if ye were called to die at this time, within yourselves, that ye have been sufficiently humble?  That your garments have been cleansed and made white through the blood of Christ, who will come to redeem his people from their sins?"  (Book of Mormon | Alma 5:27)

My thoughts today is...what is that walk, keeping yourselves blameless such that your garments have been cleansed and made white?  In my mind being cleansed and white is as

"...Abraham, with Isaac, and with Jacob, and also all the holy prophets, whose garments are cleansed and are spotless, pure and white..."  (Book of Mormon | Alma 5:24)

We are taught in modern day -

"...that thou mayest more fully keep thyself unspotted from the world, thou shalt go to the house of prayer and offer up thy sacraments upon my holy day..."  (Doctrine and Covenants | Section 59:9)

In my mind, to be cleansed and being spotless, the walk is repentance, keeping the commandments, and attending sacrament meeting each week.
