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

Mosiah 13

 AfterAbinadi refers to the ten commandments and the law of Moses, he explains to Noah's wicked priests -

"...that salvation doth not come by the law alone; and were it not for the atonement, which God himself shall make for the sins and iniquities of his people, that they must unavoidably perish, notwithstanding the law of Moses."  (Mosiah 13:28)

"by the law alone" does not suggest that it is not a requirement.  It does the suggest that it alone will not bring salvation.  Both the atonement and obedience to eternal laws are required .

"We believe that through the Atonement of Christ, all mankind may be saved, by obedience to the laws and ordinances of the Gospel."  (Articles of Faith 1:3)
