9 Believe in God; believe that he is, and that he created all things, both in heaven and in earth; believe that he has all wisdom, and all power, both in heaven and in earth; believe that man doth not comprehend all the things which the Lord can comprehend.
10 And again, believe that ye must repent of your sins and forsake them, and humble yourselves before God; and ask in sincerity of heart that he would forgive you; and now, if you believe all these things see that ye do them.
11 And again I say unto you as I have said before, that as ye have come to the knowledge of the glory of God, or if ye have known of his goodness and have tasted of his love, and have received a remission of your sins, which causeth such exceedingly great joy in your souls, even so I would that ye should remember, and always retain in remembrance, the greatness of God, and your own nothingness, and his goodness and long-suffering towards you, unworthy creatures, and humble yourselves even in the depths of humility, calling on the name of the Lord daily, and standing steadfastly in the faith of that which is to come, which was spoken by the mouth of the angel.
12 And behold, I say unto you that if ye do this ye shall always rejoice, and be filled with the love of God, and always retain a remission of your sins; and ye shall grow in the knowledge of the glory of him that created you, or in the knowledge of that which is just and true.
The more I read the scriptures, the more I know how much God loves us to give us his Word through the holy prophets. Whether in times of old or in current times, God is the same and his message is for US to know that Jesus is the Christ, his Son, our Redeemer and Savior of the world.
How gentle are his commands, and his abundance that we receive in honoring the covenants we make and serve, care for and uplift those in need around us. We (I) are (am) the recipient o His goodness and mercy in caring for our every need.
I bear witness these things are true. . . and to Read the rest of this chapter to drink from the living water and fountains of eternal life.
