Today we continue our study of Alma 36 where we delve deeper into Alma's conversion experience. We consider what we can learn about the important Hebrew writing form of chiasmus and we reflect on the lessons we learn about repentance.
Elder Jeffrey R Holland: “Please remember tomorrow, and all the days after that, that the Lord blesses those who want to improve, who accept the need for commandments and try to keep them, who cherish Christlike virtues and strive to the best of their ability to acquire them. If you stumble in that pursuit, so does everyone; the Savior is there to help you keep going. If you fall, summon His strength. Call out like Alma, “O Jesus, … have mercy on me.” He will help you get back up. He will help you repent, repair, fix whatever you have to fix, and keep going. Soon enough you will have the success you seek.”
