alma 36: 1 - 24
what can we do to exercise faith in Jesus Christ so we can be delivered from the feelings of pain and remorse caused by our sins?
--> first, we have to remember Christ and all the things we have been taught about His forgiveness and mercy. then, we have to apply what we know about the repentance process and the atonement. as we work through those things and come clean before the Lord again, we are able to stand with confidence that we are forgiven. i can testify of the physical lifting of a burden after the repentance process is complete. but really it's never complete, repentance is a lifelong way to live - constantly seeking for opportunities for change and growth and becoming better. i love the contrast between the way alma talks about the eternal pains and torments he is experiencing, and the joy and light he feels after he is forgiven and dedicates his life to making amends. we can learn a lot from his example.
