Mosiah 26:30

"Yea, and as often as my people repent will I forgive them their trespasses against me."

The Lord will forgive us if we repent. He will always forgive us if we truly repent and change. We likewise need to be willing to forgive people.

Mosiah 25:24

"And they were called the people of God. And the Lord did pour out his Spirit upon them, and they were blessed, and prospered in the land."

These people were righteous. They did what God wanted them to do. Thus they were able to have the Holy Ghost with them and they were blessed.

Mosiah 23:15

"Thus did Alma teach his people, that every man should love his neighbor as himself, that there should be no contention among them."

If everyone lived this way, the world would be a much happier, peaceful place. We should all try to love our neighbors.

Mosiah 20:11

"And it came to pass that the people of Limhi began to drive the Lamanites before them; yet they were not half so numerous as the Lamanites. But they fought for their lives, and for their wives, and for their children; therefore they exerted themselves and like dragons did they fight."

These people acted out of love for their families. The men of Limhi protected their selves, their wives, and their children. They knew what was important in life and fought for it. I love that!

D&C 115:4

"For thus shall my church be called in the last days, even The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints."

The Lord named his church. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints truly is his church. It was not created or names by a man. It was created by Jesus Christ.

Mosiah 19:8

"And now the king was not so much concerned about his people as he was about his own life; nevertheless, Gideon did spare his life."

This king received mercy from Gideon because he talked about the safety of his people. The king used this trickery to save himself. In reality he did not care about his people at all! He just did not want to die. This is how Satan works, too. He does not care for anyone but himself and will use you for his own benefit.

Mosiah 18:9

"Yea, and are willing to mourn with those that mourn; yea, and comfort those that stand in need of comfort, and to stand as witnesses of God at all times and in all things, and in all places that ye may be in, even until death, that ye may be redeemed of God, and be numbered with those of the first resurrection, that ye may have eternal life-"

These are some of the covenants we make at baptism. We are willing to help others through love, and to always bear witness of the Lord. I love the phrase "even until death." No matter what happens, we should not deny our faith.
