Helaman 5:9-10 -- On Remembering

"O remember, remember, my sons, the words which king Benjamin spake unto his people; yea, remember that there is no other way nor means whereby man can be saved, only through the atoning blood of Jesus Christ, who shall come; yea, remember that he cometh to redeem the world.
And remember also the words which Amulek spake unto Zeezrom, in the city of Ammonihah; for he said unto him that the Lord surely should come to redeem his people, but that he should not come to redeem them in their sins, but to redeem them from their sins."
Helaman 5:9-10


I love that Nephi and Lehi, the sons of Helaman, are remembering these words as adults and looking back on what their father taught them from the scriptures. It alwo reminds me of Alma 37, where it talks about how the scriptures have "enlarged the memory of this people" which led many to salvation (verse 8). The scriptures help us know of God's dealings with our ancestors and the whole human family. They help us to enlarge our memories and to learn how regular people dealt with hardships and problems, and were helped by God in all of it. Today, let's remember, remember that Jesus Christ can, and will, save us, and work on our part, which is repenting, exercising our faith, and staying true to God's purpose by following his commandments to love everyone.
