Mosiah : 5
It seems to me like this chapter has a very deep meaning, but I couldn't quite get it this time.
The whole chapter is about making covenants, and becoming a child of Christ.
It's interesting that after verses 2, 3, and 4, the last word on verse 4 is "joy". After they had heard the word of God, had their hearts changed through the spirit, and made covenants to keep the commandments of God, they were filled with joy.
I find that quite refreshing.
Another verse which caught my attention greatly, as I have never noticed it before, is verse 14.
I've had people ask me, "Would God really just not let one of his sons or daughters enter into his Kingdom? He loves us all, and therefore wouldn't be able to let only a certain group of people in."
Well.. Verse 14, in my eyes, answers that quite well. Yes. God has commandments, and he requires that we keep them. If we don't, we won't "know the name whereby we are called", and thus, we won't be allowed to enter. Harsh, but true.
Good stuff, this chapter is. I feel there's still a load of doctrine within these verses which I haven't received yet.
