helaman 5: 28 - 52
from these verses, what do you learn about repentance?
--> one part i've always loved about this story is the nature of the invitation to repent. "it was not a voice of thunder, neither was it a voice of great tumultuous noise, but behold, it was a still voice of perfect mildness, as if it had been a whisper, and it did pierce even to the very soul". when i feel to repent, that is the inviting voice that i follow. not a wrathful, angry God that wants justice to be served, but a loving God that wants all His children to change their hearts and return to Him. the spirit works in quiet ways, prodding our soul this way and that, closer and closer to our Heavenly Father and our goal of eternal life. in verse 45, it says "behold, the Holy Spirit of God did come down from heaven, and did enter into their hearts, and they were filled as if with fire, and they could speak forth marvelous words."
