helaman 8: 11 - 28
to have a "contrite spirit", as expressed in helaman 8:15, is to be humble, repentant, and receptive to the Lord's will. Why is this attitude essential as we look to the Savior?
--> the path of discipleship is a path of learning, a path of growth. a path of correction and a path of light. if we are not humble, we are not teachable. if we are so set in our own ways, we cannot see the ways that the Lord has provided for us to change and become better people. in this verse 15, it couples that humility with faith... we can't have a contrite spirit without first having faith. then, as the verse suggests, we can look upon the Son of God and live. just as easy as it was for the people of moses to look on the serpent and live, so we can look to the Savior and live! therein lies life eternal.
